1. How to Use Squidoo

2. Squidoo is an online community who’s members build free mini-sites, on topics they’re interested in.

3. It’s free to join and to make sites (or lenses as they’re called at Squidoo).

4. A lens must start out with at least 3 modules.

5. Like any other blog, you must add to and develop your site or lens over time - So it's not perceived as spam...

6. Typically a lens starts with a guest book module, and 3 text modules.

7. The bio must also be filled in - it's best to use a bio-picture related to the theme and Key Words of your site.

8. Name the bio-image j-peg that you upload to your lens with your keyword phrase. Use the keyword phrase in the bio too.

9. The title for the lens is another place to use a keyword – use a long-tail keyword phrase as the description of the lens.

10. To fill in the text modules, use the unique articles you’ve written or Private Label Rights (PLR) articles you've edited.

11. Be sure a version of your KW is included as anchor text, in the first paragraph.

12. **Hint: You can break an article up between text modules, instead of using the whole article in one text module.

13. That will help meet the minimum amount of modules and get your lens approved and published quicker.

14. ** Also, you don’t want all your anchor text links pointing to the same page.

15. Have one point to the main page of your website, and the others link to other pages within the site: your product or review pages, perhaps?

16. Use a variation of the keyword in each text module, your list of keyword variations now comes in handy...

17. In the guestbook, you can change the title heading and work in the main KW phrase as well.

18. For example: Share Your Comments About ______ (keyword phrase)...

19. Those are some basics that will help you optimize the lens itself. Now for finding useful tags to add to the lens:

20. Simply look for and link to other top rated lenses in your category...

21. Remember, there's really no sense spending too much time on any one lens, if it takes away from time you need to write and publish more content.

22. Also Note - Squidoo has Adsense on their lenses, which may get clicks.

23. To minimize the ads, and contribute to the Squidoo community, I suggest you choose to donate any proceeds.

24. We want links and traffic to our money site, not a few pennies from AdSense clicks.
