A Global View on LGBT

I was searching around on Google for an interesting image I might be able to "borrow" and discovered this - but the story is even more inspiring.

Project GayRussia.Ru will host the XXV conference of the International Lesbian & Gay Association (ILGA) in May 2010.

The purpose of this group is to bring together all the LGBT related lenses on Squidoo and present in one place the wonderful diversity of the global LGBT community, especially the great strides that are taking place in parts of the world where prejudice is still institutionalised or worse encouraged.

If you have an LGBT related lens please join this group and add your voice to the rainbow.

Great LGBT Lenses

How can we help to Promote the LGBT Group

1. Update your Lense Regularly

I have noticed that new content, just as with search engines, is key to improving ranking and traffic. Just pop into your lens at least once a week and update something.

2. Add LGBT Lenses to your lensroll

People tend to prefer human recommendations to search engine listings. Add your favourite LGBT Lenses to your lens roll then everyone who visits your lens may also visit your recommendations.

3. Add LGBT Lenses to your favourites

For the same reasons, if people like your lens they are likely to have a look at your favourites. If we are all adding each other to our favourites we are all bound to benefit.

4. Add LGBT Lenses to your Social Bookmarks.

I have added all the lenses in the LGBT group and the Group address to 12 Social Bookmark sites using Onywire. That creates high search engine profile and back links to your lens - it also means that anyone who checks out my social bookmarks is likely to find you.

Add This LGBT Group to Onlywire

You will need to enter the log-in details for the social book sites you use first.

5. Promote the LGBT Group wherever possible

Add the Squidoo LGBT Group link to your Lens Email Signature, Blog, Website, Myspace... in fact anywhere where you can help to bring traffic to the group. If we all drive traffic to the group we are all going to beneift much more.

HypnoTrance Hi As a hypnotherapist I often get asked if I can hypnotise someone into feeling more confident about their sexuality, particular in the work place. In my experience confidence comes through facing up to a fear and in doing so, realising that you are bigger than your fears. Posted February 06, 2008
