My First Squidoo Lens

So in order to get some practice with working with the keywords in the search engines, I chose a long one and made a squidoo lens about it. My goal was just to get some content on there and get it published so that I was at least attempting to put things into practice. The great thing is that my long tail keyword if you take away a word is simply a shorter keyword that is also good for playing with because it doesn't have a whole lot of traffic. Unfortunately, neither get very many searches at all but that was really my focus atm. =)

So far so good I think. My lens appeared on page 21 for my main keyword focus after the first day. I realized that I needed to make some content changes in order to make my description more keyword focused so I did that right away. From what I can tell on day 2 is that Google still doesn't have the right page indexed but its moved to page 4 of the results. So while still not on the front, its not on page 21 anymore! At least it gives me some hope that I am not totally a lost cause.

Congratulations...Squidoo is good for practice and for testing keywords to see how much traffic and sales they can generate. Squidoo has a high PR as a result many marketers with build Squidoo lenses and link them to their site to give their site high PR backlinks.

Taking action is the best way to get your feet wet!

What exactly is squidoo? I've never heard of it till recently.

my best answer to that would be to just go to the site. I would link the training I found but I am not premium yet so it wont let me. If you are still interested just search for it in the training and there are some good training references set up that can give you a general overview.
I think some people just use it as a good way to try out a keyword but since I am broke, I figured I would get into action and practice. It is like a one page website ( many people on the site set it up like a blog post but you can choose any topic you want and discuss it anyway you want).

Oh ok I see. I'll take a look. Thanks.

You are definitely not a lost cause and these things take practice. Congratulations for getting your first one up and running.

Squidoo is a great place to experiment and learn. good luck =)
