Your Squidoo Lens - Do They Still Rank in The Search Engines?

If you are using Squidoo lenses, then you have to pay attention to a few things if you are shooting for good rankings. So we want to share some goodies with you today, so you can see better results for your lenses in the SERPS.

You always want to write for the readers; however, placing the phrase you want to rank for in the introductory paragraph is what is needed along with writing it in bold, as well. Do you understand why this is important? Well, this is called keyword optimization for your content, and it is one thing that will help your lens to rank. It is not necessary to bold, but doing that will actually help your page rank for the term you want. Once you site is listed, then the text must attract the attention of the person searching, and that will help that process along. You will have to look at the other listings on the page you are on to see if they are doing the same thing, but this has to be done anyway.

You should link to relevant lenses, and that is also for the benefit of your readers, too. But of course your content and the quality of it will play a huge role, too. Remember that Google pays attention to things like how long people stay on your site, and so that will have an effect. So in a way, you're doing nothing but taking the right steps to boost the effectiveness of your lens so that you're able to build a long term relationship with your visitors.

Squidoo looks at the number of modules you have, and so activate and use the module for your RSS feed for your lens. But make sure you're using your own RSS feed so that if someone clicks one any of your content, they still come back to you. There are very many RSS directories and other sites where you can submit your feed, and that will help with some backlinks, too. Make your content user-friendly, but also do some SEO with it and never forget to backlink.
