How to Make Money The Honest Way

Here is a little thought provoking post for anyone wanting to use a simple tool to produce an extra feather to their internet marketing cap!

Squidoo is very easy to use abd that’s a fact! To creat a new lens taks a few minutes and then all that you need to do to have your own little extra piece of the internet is to write some original content on your chosen niche and hit the publish button!

Of course, it will need regular looking after if you want it to grow into a truly beneficial addition to your online empire, but it’s worth a little effort every few days to add something to your lens to get it ranking highly within Squidoo’s own system.

Eventually, you’ll see the rewards.

I’ve personally seen some of my lenses rewarded with a PR3 in the recent Google page rank shake-up which means they are even more valuable to me now as one-way link providers to my websites and blogs as well as traffic generators to the same. All for little effort and some writing.

If you haven’t already explored this useful extra business option, don’t you think you should?

The author of The Honest Way, as you may already know is a lensmaster over at Squidoo and has created a number of lenses on many different topics over a period of several months.

In the recent page rank shake-up by Google some of the older lenses were awarded with some page rank ranging from 1 to 3. The Honest Way lens was initially awarded a PR3 but that was strangely cut to a PR2 after a few days. A similar thing happened to my Alternative Cures lens that seems to have been cut from a PR3 to a PR0.

Now none of my lenses sell text links in any way, shape or form and this seems to be the main reason why Google has slapped down many high ranking blogs and websites. The only reason I can see for the turnabout with those two lenses (all the others remained untouched) was that they did contain some duplicate content in the form of short excerpts of articles that are published on my corresponding websites.

I have since removed or re-hashed these excerpts, so this may be a timely warning to anyone who has any duplicate content on their sites that Google may well be watching for this and could penalize sites in the next PR shake up.

So simply don’t publish any duplicate content on your site!
