Squidoo is a hot property right now on the internet aqnd it will continue to be for at least a while yet. If you have ever been to Squidoo you will see that making money there is a pretty straightforward process of creating a lense, writing content, and making moeny from affiliates or from the other clickouts from the site.

Seth Godin created Squidoo as a way of getting people interested in writing articles that would be informative and therefore a way to make money while offering that content and the site pays back based on the money that you generate for the site. Rank is built based on the traffic you drive to the site as well as some other factors that only Seth and his team really know well. Rest assured getting traffic to your squidoo lense is easily the best way to raise your ranking and prominence within the site.

Google is also interested in Squidoo becuase the site is an “authiority” type site. Google recognizes that Squidoo is building content all of the time so they are raising the quality score that a phrase with the same number of links to the page has compared to other pages on the same topic, this means that a good page can be even better because Google will drive traffic to it more quickly and often.

Here are the steps

1. become a member by visiting www.squidoo.com

2. Click the Make a lens! in the top right hand corner of the site

3. Choose a name for your lense, then select the third option which is to create a page about it and then thirdly give it a descriptive name that people will be able to find it by.

4. Now give your Squidoo lense some keywords…after this the admin stuff is done and you can start adding content and affiliate reviews and links to amazon and many many other things to make the page “sticky” so that people will want to visit it again in the future after they have found it once

This is not an exhaustive list at all but just one to get you started. Let you mind flow with the subject and give good content to get people coming and then after having built trust with your content you can turn these browsers into buyers
