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 to [...]

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 is [...]

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 one [...]

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 have [...]

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 loss on-page [...]

SEO review – weight loss lens pulled apart

by Spiritual Marketing on January 12, 2009

AJ2008 made this lens in a self professed SEO experiment, and from my later conversation with her (through twitter and e-mail) she asked such good questions that I just had to ask her if I could do this review of her lens about weight loss. She graciously said yes (though I’m sure she’s wondering what [...]

Pick your primary tag – get into the squidoo directory…

by Spiritual Marketing on November 27, 2008

In his post about the best squidoo lens directories, thefluffanutta gave a few hints about how lenses get shown in his own squidoo directory.
He had done a post about how to pick the best primary tag a few months ago, but not until I read this latest post did it finally click for me…
For instance: [...]
