"Blogging for profits" involves blogging, article writing and commenting on sites and blogs, other than your own! Whew, that sounds like a lot of work. Well not really, just find the time and by all means once you've left your comment or article don't forget to leave a link to your original blog. Article marketing and commenting on relevant sites and blogs can help increase your traffic. Just remember the higher PageRank the site has the better backlink it creates back to your blog and boosts your rank.

Social Networking is a great way to make new acquaintances and drive traffic back to your lens or blog. Twitter seems to generate good traffic. A social network like Squidoo Masters offers you the option to post on the Main Blog Area or to Blog on your 'My Page' and the 'My Page' also includes an RSS option.

One of the great reasons to join a network of like-minded individuals, is to reap the benefits of creating links back to your lenses. Cick on your own link back to your lens. Once done this establishes an outbound link from point 'A' to point 'B', thus creating an inbound link to your specific Squidoo lens!

Networking is possibly the single most important skill for making big money online.

If you have suppliers and partners ask them to link to your site.

Try to have them link to you with the terms you would like to rank for. The clickable part of a link is called anchor text, and anchor text is one way that the search engines associate a website with a particular search term. If you are a gift item merchant in Denver, Colorado, ask your partners to link to you with those words as opposed to your business name.

Leaving comments on blogs in related niches is a great way to get new targeted traffic to your blog. It is also an excellent way to build relationships with other bloggers.

What better way to Social Network than through Squidoo. Please join Squidoo and start building your lens today!

Article Marketing can drive traffic to your lens or blog. It is considered one of the best ways to generate traffic to another destination.

The first 3 to 5 words in your title are very important - so chose your keywords for your title and body of your blog carefully.

But, the whole idea is not to just do a cut and paste of your original lens and then expect anything, because Google algorithms can recognize when it is a copy and will gloss over it. The algorithms are a sequence of instructions, one of them being to recognize a duplicate article and then to ignore it!

You can certainly cut and paste from your original lens, but I would recommend rewording and changing the placement of paragraphs and by all means adding some new wording, otherwise you might get ignored by the big G and then your time and opportunity to promote your lens is lost.

Ensure that the keywords in your title are present in the body of your text, but don't repeat the keywords more than 3 times. One way to do this is to use the 'Edit', 'Find' tool on your browser and see how many times each keyword turns up.

* Search engines are sophisticated enough to examine the actual keywords in the body of a web page. So make sure if you have deleted modules or added modules, to update add/remove keywords.

* Use specific keywords that relate to your blog, ie. instead of "mobile phone" use "nokia N72 mobile phone"; you'll have less competition and more targeted visitors.

If you include an image or video, you should have at least 5 lines above the image. Google doesn't like to find an image first. I like to play it safe and put it lower down.

Getting good PR links is the goal. Reciprocal linking seems now to be penalized by Google! Get lots of visitors without Google Adwords.

Want to convince your readers to do something or agree with your point of view?

OK, that was a silly question. Of course you do.

Persuasion is generally an exercise in creating a win-win situation. You present a case that others find beneficial to agree with. You make them an offer they can't refuse, but not in the manipulative Godfather sense.

It's simply a good deal or a position that makes sense to that particular person.

But there are techniques that can make your job easier and your case more compelling. While this list is in no way comprehensive, these 10 strategies are used quite a bit because they work.
