Your Squidoo Lens and You - Ensuring Your Lens Wins The SEO Game

Getting your Squidoo lens ranked higher and getting more people to see it doesn't have to be that difficult - if you're focused on providing quality content and doing the necessary link building, there's no reason why you wouldn't get ranked.

Even though some of you may already know this, we do know that not everybody is aware of it so that is why we want to make mention. Putting your keywords in the URL is the most basic step that you can take towards proper optimizing your lens for the search engines. Do not give up so easily if your exact keyword phrase is taken, then you can still manage to use it with a prefix or suffix. Almost by default, at this point, you will necessarily be going after a long-tail phrase as they will be easier to rank. You may already know how annoying it can be to find a good regular dot com domain name; well, same thing at Squidoo. Work toward establishing five or six modules with a new lens so it will be Squidoo indexed, so to speak. Remember this is all content driven processes, and so the more modules you can create the better it is. If you have more than one lens, then you just need to bite the bullet and add great content to all of them. How often you want to do this is entirely up to you, as always, but we suggest several times per week. If you want it to rank highly, then you just have to do some quality backlinking to it - no questions about that. The more you put into your lens, the better your returns will be which is generally true of anything you do.

There are several good reasons why you would want to do some backlinking to your lens. It will never hurt your lens to throw some backlinks at it, and the more you put into it the higher it will rank. As you know, there are many types of backlinking solutions available to you, so you choose which one appeals the most. You will get more link juice when you get the best backlinks you can get.

Most of the time a person's personal situation and circumstances will help to influence these decisions. Once your lens is moving up in the SERPS, then we recommend pouring on the juice to keep it moving. Your optimization efforts on your lens, on-page, will obviously play an important role which will boost your other efforts. As we have said, backlinking is a must as is optimizing your content for your keywords.
