Looking for a REAL Squidoo Secret?

You don't need it!

All the "Squidoo Secrets" and other programs offering you the "keys to making money online" are all just offering the same thing -- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)!

Now, sure, do they have "secrets"? Yeah, but they're the same ones that work on blogs, that work on websites... my point is, it's not limited to Squidoo! The only reason they're trying to lure you with using a special book FOR Squidoo is because either it's all straightforward stuff you should be able to learn if you actually, y'know, looked at other people's lenses, or else it's not good enough to be offered to everyone else!

Think about it. Everyone online, from Blogs to Webcomics to Storefronts wants to make theirs the best. SEO is a good way of doing that. But Squidoo isn't anything special -- it's just another page on the internet, and there's nothing different about any page in the eyes of Google or the other search engines! They just want what works!

If you need something specific, like boosting traffic to your lenses, then pay for something specific! You certainly don't need to spend $30-$50 on an eBook that holds your hand as you make your first lenses!

(And besides... it really takes making at least ten lenses or so before you start seeing Squidoo's effects. Learn a little.)

Would You Pay? 

Seriously, would you pay someone for their eBook on Squidoo?

I would!

I haven't...as a disclaimer I have to say so far. I have considered asking a lensmaster that I consider to be an expert to review my lenses for tags, content, etc. and I'd be willing to pay for that advice.

No way!

Chadrew says:

I'm quite skeptical about anything that comes from ClickBank and claims it can help you make thousands, so probably no.

That's like paying for air...

Proven Tips to Help Your Lenses 

Why buy the cow when the milk's already at your doorstep?

  1. Monthly Payouts!
    This is best referred to as "Throw Enough Spaghetti at the wall, something will stick." As long as you have some lenses with a LensRank of 50,000 or less, you should be due some amount of cash at the end of the month. Obviously, the better you rank, the more you'll end up paid, and the more lenses you have that meet the threshold, the more you'll get paid too!
  2. Link Your Lenses Together!
    This way, if one lens gets lots of traffic, your other lenses have a chance to prosper!
  3. Check your Lens's Health!
    This won't check much beyond the introduction, but for SEO, it'll do the job just fine!
