Are you having difficulty making money from your lense? Have you realized that you're only getting a few pageviews a month?
This lense will help you gain the pageviews and money you deserve!

Add Your Site To Directories 

Adding your site to directories or social bookmarking sites is a great way to get pageviews.
DMOZ is a good example!

Promote Your Site 

Directories you can use

Stumble Upon
A site where others can "stumble upon" your webpage
Squoogle
A Squidoo Directory
Isle of Squid
Another directory targeted at squidoo lenses
Lens Roll
Yes, yet ANOTHER great squidoo directory!

 

del.icio.us is one of the biggest social bookmarking sites out there! All you have to do is submit your site and your lense gives visitors the option to bookmark/favourite your site!

Surf Exchanges 

Finding a trusty surf exchange can be a great push for a new website. You can browse through other people's websites for free, and every time you look at somebody else's site, you earn credits with which to "buy" pageviews.

Easy Hits 4 U is a fantastic new site that makes it really easy to get pageviews quickly... OR you can exchange your credits for money instead.


Galacy Gold
lets you have 30 surfs a day, and every page you view gives you a credit to let others see your own site.
Because of the 30-a-day limit, people are more likely to stop and look at your site, and while you're at it you can win prizes and money from "meteors" and things, making it fun and worthwile to join!

Blue-Surf gives you one visitor to your website for every two links you click. There is also a 50 credit joining bonus and every 20 pages you surf, you receive a random amount of bonus credits!
It has a 10 second timer and is very fun and quick to use!

Traffic Tornado lets you promote all your surf exchanges and get referrals!





Traffic Swarm is a great traffic exchange where you can promote your site. You can earn a free 300 credits, from completing 2 offers when you join + activating your account. You can also earn easy credits from referring other members... you don't even have to use the exchange to get people to visit your site!

Exchanging Links 

If you can get linked on sites or other lenses with a high google PR, then google will boost your own site up on it's search engines!
Manually e-mail site owners- be polite, but don't be too shy! Be honest and tell them that you are trying to boost your site to get visitors, but that you also like their site and want to link them on your lense!
Light flattery also helps ;D

Awmoney.net is a domain name site looking for people to join their link exchange- this can benefit a site owner greatly as you can have a front page slot on their site!

Word Of Mouth 

Get your friends, colleagues and family to spread the word! Don't be embarrassed! E-mail them the link, and include the social bookmarking sites they can add it too!

Social Bookmarking Sites 

Digg
A Large Social Bookmarking Site
Del.icio.us
Probably the largest social bookmarking site out there! (Be there or be square!)
Twitter
A site that lets your family and friends "know what you're up to" - in other words, you can tell others about your site and get everybody you know to do the same!
Reddit
Another site where you can submit your link- it can be voted up or down on the popularity list

Myspace/Facebook 

Make a myspace account just to promote your lense.
Make lots of friends who you think might be interested in your lense(s) and make sure you update with blogs and other tools regularly to give them money-making tips!
They might just be interested and come over to your lense...!

Squidoo Groups 

Finding lots of squidoo groups can really help ! There a groups like the "One Million Lense Challenge" group that accept anybody, or there are specified groups like "Connie's Craft-a-Holics Club Headquarters" that only accept lenses on one subject.
Either way, you should join some and maybe some other lense masters will check you out! You're more likely to get visitors from the targeted groups- their members will actually have an interest in your subject.

Remember, you should give back to the group by visiting other group member's lenses too!

At the end of the day... 

Hopefully, you'll follow all my tips and keep promoting your site! I won't promise thousands of visitors overnight, but if you keep working, you could be attracting thousands of visitors in only weeks!
As we all know so well, visitors generate revenue, if you sell your space well!
Good luck, and don't forget to check out my other squidoo lense, How to Make Money Online!
