Tip 1 Organic SEO
First we need to establish why Google is not sending you traffic, and like any normal web site SEO is as crucial for your lens, as what it is for a normal website .
First See if your lens is being indexed by Google and Yahoo.
Next thing to do is view your source code and see what the <titile >tag is on your lens, after that check your keyword density
If you want to improve your search engine optimisation, then do the following,
- You need to make it easy for a search engine to Figure out the topic of your page.
- Find Appropriate keywords or key phrases and use them in the title, in the page heading, in the introduction, throughout the lens, in the meta description, in bold or italics etc
- Use word variations and synonyms throughout your page.

Tip 2 Submit to main directories
The more high quality links that you have pointing to your lens, the more impressed the search engines will be and the higher your Squidoo lens will be ranked.
Another good reason for submitting your lens to search engine directories is that your listing can last for years, if the task of submitting to directories is a boring and tedious task, then get a 3rd party to do it on your behalf.
If you have a niche lens then you can submit your site to niche directories, for example directories on health or dating etc
Tip 3 distribute useful articles to Article Directories.
By writing useful and interesting articles and submitting them to article directories will ensure that other websites will pick up your articles and use them on their site.
When writing your article, not only do you need an eye -catching heading, but you also need to give people a strong incentive to visit your lens.
By Adding a link back to your lens in the “About the author” box at the bottom of the article, not only are you boosting your reputation, you also get hundreds or thousands of links pointing back to your squidoo lens.
Tip 4 Publish a mini course
This is also a great idea to get people to keep on coming back to your Lens, you can decide on the format whether you want to publish a long or a short mini- course, what is more important is that you provide genuinely useful content.
After you have won the trust of your readers start weaving relevant affiliate links into your mini-courses.
To retain your readers interest, at the end of each message, give them a little teaser by telling what will be in the next message of the mini-course
