Are you using squidoo yet.  Have you had a chance to take my advise and try squidoo with one or two keywords.  If not, I hope that the title of this post gets your attention.  Because I want to hammer into your mind what you are missing.  Quite frankly, if your not using squidoo, then in my opinion you are not very serious about affiliate marketing.  I say that because Squidoo has put together a system that is FREE, and gets you in the organic serps fast.  Let me show you how I use them.

For those that know me they would attest that I dislike using PPC campaigns.  I can’t fanthom spending thousands of dollars each month and by chance I find one or two keywords that make me significant money.  Aside from that, these keywords may not even make money for me 5 to 10 years from now.  By then Google probably would have force my campiagns out of the market.  They are just to unpredictable for me.  That is not the kind of mindset that I want to have.  I want to build a strong business with websites that will make me money today, tomorrow and 5 to 10 years from now until I die.  So, PPC marketing cannot be the way to go for me.  This is just my opinion.  Many other people may see it different.  So, for me organic search is my best bet.  The only problem with organic search is that it takes a while to get websites listed.  Squidoo is the answer!!!  Now you know I don’t use PPC, so you may ask how do you test keywords?

Well my technique is to create squidoo lenses and associate them with my keywords.  These little lenses tend to get listed very quickly in google.  Like my most recent lense under the keyword “Dooney Burke Outlet Store”.  This little lense I created 2 days ago and associated it with one of my fashion sites.  Now, this little lense is on the first page of the google listing.  Affiliate money will be made from eBay when people buy the purses.  I am also hoping for some adsense money when people click over to my designer fashion site also. 

How did I do this?  My method of promotion of these lenses is very specific. 

  1. I link them into all my websites through a review or blogroll.  Gets the google bot to the lense faster.

  2. I stumble them.  Social Marketing

  3. I digg them.  Social Marketing

  4. I talk about and link to them on forums.

  5. Article Marketing - I announce to the world by releasing a article or two and link to the lense.

  6. Leave comments on other lense that have high PR and link back to my lense.

That is all I do.  I try to do 1 to 2 lense a day with a lot of keyword research in between.  Just a note about keyword research.  I use wordtracker and I have found it to be very reliable.  Test it out for free.  I am sure you will love it.

Like I said before, that is it and you too WILL start gain 1 page google organic search listings.

Derek,
If you have not tried squidoo before jump right on in. If you have SEO experience you will love the site.

I have a number of squidoo lenses but I actually find I can outrank them with my own site. Still work on the lenses just to get some backlinks etc.

I have found that to be true also for a few of my websites. But, I use the squidoo account to also target keywords that I have not as of yet scored high on with my regular website. I also use my squidoo account to target keywords with smaller traffic ratings.
