This is some additional info that I wanted to post about the usefulness of Squidoo lenes. When it comes to creating those coveted one-way backlinks to your blog, what better way than to create a lens specific to your blog. Then create some backlinks to it.

There is no need to create a link back to the lens from your blog. Think about it. The more one-way backlinks you can beg, borrow or steal to your blog is of major importance when it comes to begging Google for a decent page rank. Once you have that page rank, your blog becomes that much more valuable to you as a way to make money, primarily from advertising… not to mention the potential increase in traffic from the search engines themselves.

So if you haven’t done it already, go create a lens to compliment your blog. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Create a lens with the same title as your blog.
  2. If you can, make the squidoo link the same as your blog title as well (if the name hasn’t already been taken!
  3. Do a really good write-up all about your blog with the link embedded in the text of that article
  4. Use anchor text with the title of your blog for maximum weight
  5. Add a module to receive an RSS feed from your blog

All these things will help in generating more traffic as well as creating several valuable anchor text-weighted one-way backlinks to your blog.
