How much is a squidoo lens worth?

by Spiritual Marketing on July 26, 2010

A long time lensmaster asked: how do you value a squidoo lens? It turns out that TheFluffanutta has made a lens valuing tool that at least has the right factors in there. Here is what it says about  my top lens: http://www.squidoo.com/spirituality-quotes Estimated value of ‘spirituality-quotes’ Current Lensrank: #104 Average Lensrank: #85 Worth $160.62 over [...]

Squidoo modules that aren’t good for SEO

by Spiritual Marketing on May 9, 2010

NOTE: in the coming month, squidoo will be changing their nofollow policy. I’ve been thinking about Squidoo and SEO lately. Well, what else is new, right? Turns out I’m not the only one. One of the issues is that there are quite a few useful modules where squidoo nofollows links, though you’d expect the links [...]

Advantages and disadvantages of having several squidoo accounts

by Spiritual Marketing on January 4, 2010

I’ve recently set up a second squidoo account and in this post I’ll share the advantages and disadvantages. But why would you want a second squidoo account in the first place? I found that managing 300 lenses in one account became an administrative problem. Even using labels on the dashboard, it was just getting hard [...]

Tweaking the title tag for SEO

by Spiritual Marketing on November 5, 2009

There is conflicting advice out there about the title of a page. On the one hand it’s clear that titles (and title tags) are essential to SEO: they should contain the keywords and keyword phrases users are typing into the search engines. On the other hand, some people have reported pages losing rankings immediately after [...]

What I just did to get 5% more traffic to my squidoo lenses…

by Spiritual Marketing on September 24, 2009

That’s right, I just got my squidoo lenses about 5% more traffic within a week. The result was great at first, then traffic went back to previous levels and now it’s beyond the growth I saw at first. I think it’s fair to say it worked: How? By optimizing my tags. I find that this [...]

What the new google rel-nofollow policy means for squidoo

by Spiritual Marketing on June 9, 2009

There’s a new rel-nofollow policy out. Where it used to be that pagerank got distributed around all the followed links on a page, now it gets distributed around all the links on the page and what’s on rel-nofollow links just ‘evaporates’ as Matt Cuts puts it in the interview I linked to above. Matt Cuts [...]

Optimizing tags on squidoo lenses

by Spiritual Marketing on May 14, 2009

Evelyn Saenz, one of my all time favorite lensmasters – because she makes just excellent lenses – is not really into SEO. I think she’s only just catching on (sorry Evelyn). Which makes her question relevant for a lot of people of course (what would a blogger do without newby questions?) She’s just discovered the [...]

A story of a successful lens

by Spiritual Marketing on February 20, 2009

This is the story of a lens that gets most traffic. Today it gets, as you can see, about a hundred visitors a day. That’s enough for a permanent spot in the squidoo top 2000, and with people voting on it regularly it’s enough for a regular spot in the top 100 as well. It [...]

Squidoo help lenses as linkbait

by Spiritual Marketing on February 9, 2009

Linkbait? Linkbait is material that is put online not to make money, but to get links. Then when the links are there, the page in question will just link to whatever commercial content the owner wants to have rank better. Inkserotica and AJ got into a discussion about how little lensrank squidoo help lenses usually [...]

Reviewing AJ2008 some more – linkbuilding

by Spiritual Marketing on January 13, 2009

An SEO review is not complete without a look at links. Yesterday I tackled on-page SEO factors: what AJ can do on her lens to make it most likely the search engines know what it’s about, and which serps (seach engine result pages) it should show up in. However, in a competitive field like weight [...]
