Simple Steps To Achieve High Search Engine Positions for A Squidoo Lens

Even though ranking a Squidoo lens is not as good as getting your own site ranked, you can have a somewhat less bumpy road with a lens thanks to the ranking power of Squidoo. If you need some solid advice for achieving the search engine position you want for your lens, then please continue reading to discover what you can do.

There's one thing that many Squidoo lens owners don't take advantage of, and that is having a strong internal linking structure. What you ideally want to do is make the search engine bots crawl all over your lens and think there is just a ton of content on it even if there is not. Just as you would place links at the end of a blog post, or in the post, to other posts that are relevant, the same thinking applies to your Squidoo lens. The intended effect is exactly the same as you would want on a site or blog - give people more to think about and read. An effective link structure on your lens will serve two very powerful purposes, and thus it is something you should put into place. Work toward establishing five or six modules with a new lens so it will be Squidoo indexed, so to speak. However, you shouldn't stop at that and focus on adding more content as time goes by. Totally unique and well-written content is what you strive for, and work to constantly add and update your lenses. How often you want to do this is entirely up to you, as always, but we suggest several times per week. You can get your lens ranked depending on the phrase, but all of this is necessary and has to provide a good user experience. The more you put into your lens, the better your returns will be which is generally true of anything you do.

Now we want to talk off-page SEO which is essentially backlinks. You could call effective backlinking the backbone of achieving higher rankings with Squidoo. When it comes to backlinking, there can almost never be too many just as long as it keeps you ahead of the pack. If you try to get only the best links pointing to your site or lens, then you will not need as many - but still, the more the better you will be.

How you want to approach getting your backlinks is totally up to you, of course. Once your lens is moving up in the SERPS, then we recommend pouring on the juice to keep it moving. However, in order to truly leverage the power of backlinking, you need to ensure your on-page SEO is in place.

If you want to see your Squidoo lens achieve a high first page position, then just do what needs to be done and keep up the effort.
