Can Google find your lens? Why isn't your Squidoo lens getting indexed by Google? Why doesn't Google send traffic to your lens? How the heck do you make a lens, or optimize one? SOOO many questions about Squidoo lens making!!

Over at my blog, PotPieGirl.com, we do a lot of talking and learning about Squidoo. I like to share tips and advice on Squidoo SEO, making better lenses, cool Squidoo tools, and getting Google to love your lens.

However, these Squidoo posts on my blog can be a bit difficult to find.... So - I decided to do one lens here at Squidoo that will make it easier to find the Squidoo information you need.

Think of this lens as your Squidoo 411 or even your Squidoo 911. If you got Squidoo questions, I've got Squidoo SOLUTIONS!

How to Make Squidoo Pages 




Make a Squidoo Lens - Step by Step Instructions - This is one of my older how-to-Squidoo posts. This post will walk you through creating a Squidoo lens - or at least how *I* do it!


How To Make HTML Links On Your Lens 




If it's been asked once, it's been asked a million times. It's also been asked in a million different ways...

"How do I make HTML links on my lens?"
"How do I make live links for my lens?"
"How do I make words that you click and they go to another page?"
"How do I make anchor links?"
"How do I make my link clickable?"
"What is the code to make words a link?"
"How do I make words on my lens into a link?"

and so on, and so on, and so on.... haha!

When I first started online, I could NOT for the life of me, remember the exact HTML code to make a hyperlink (those words that are 'clickable'). I actually had it written down and TAPED to my computer monitor. Go ahead, laugh at me - but it's true!

Thankfully, there is now a nifty little free tool online that will do it for you. Simply add the words you want to be 'cickable', then add the url of the page you want to words to link to, and PRESTO - words you can click that link to a page!

After using this tool a few (hundred) times, you will be able to make HTML links automatically.

Just a note: For Squidoo lenses and most web pages, you will use the HTML code this tool generates. The BBCode is used in many forums.

Hope this helps!

No Traffic From Google to Squidoo Lens 




Kinda stinks when you make a great page on the Squidoo site and Google won't send any traffic to it! Ever wonder WHY Google won't cooperate? One of my readers had this exact issue with one of her Squidoo lenses. She emailed me, asked me to take a look, and result is a review of her Squidoo lens and this series of three posts on this Google/No Traffic situation that many lensmasters suffer from.

Guess what? Squidoo actually has rules! Yuck, we don't need no stinkin' rules! haha! Actually, yes we DO need rules, and Squidoo does the best it can to enforce those rules to keep the "un-wanted's" off the Squidoo site.

Your lens can be locked for violating the TOS of Squidoo. Do you know what they are?
