Seeing your Squidoo lens in one of the top positions at Google can be a reality if you are willing to do what is necessary to make it happen.

Even though bookmarking sites are not as strong as they used to be, in some respects, you should still take advantage of what they have to offer in terms of traffic. This is no different than working to get this type of traffic to any other type of site, and you need to be careful about how you go about doing it. It is really best to follow the proper approaches here because that will help ensure your longevity at these sites. Reddit, Delicious and Digg are well worth your time, but we have heard that StumbleUpon traffic is very difficult to convert to anything worthwhile. You can get it all from those sites if you follow the procedures and post responsibly. Believe it or not, but there is value to having outgoing links to Squidoo lenses that are not yours. Why on earth would you want to do that? Remember that Squidoo is a different place, and this is like being willing to give goodwill, and it will just help you to get recognized.

You are telling Squidoo that you are not a spammer and that you are for real with them. Squidoo has certain criteria in place that impact how quickly a lens will be noticed by them, and one magic criterion is roughly six modules. However, you shouldn't stop at that and focus on adding more content as time goes by. Totally unique and well-written content is what you strive for, and work to constantly add and update your lenses. Once you have a good amount of content, then you can slow down to two or three times per month. If you want it to rank highly, then you just have to do some quality backlinking to it - no questions about that. One thing you will notice is most people will not put a tremendous effort into their lenses, only a few will.

Squidoo makes RSS feed activation possible with a module they have specifically for that feature. Naturally you always need to be using your own for obvious reasons, but some people still make that mistake. There are very many RSS directories and other sites where you can submit your feed, and that will help with some backlinks, too. Achieving a high search engine position for your Squidoo lens means you have to be willing to do what is necessary just like any other endeavor in life.
