New Lens: The Golden Ratio

Golden Ratio

The niche idea about the golden ratio just came to me, so I thought I would do some keyword research and found a few long tail keywords that have very little competition.  I knew that I needed to finish the lens quickly, since it was the end of the month and Squidoo does not give you any credit for the month in which your lens is created.

I have placed a link to my golden ratio lens on to Squidu, but I am holding off from putting it on StumbleUpon until July, since I should see a nice run-up with folks coming from SquidU to my lens.

New Lens: NoFollow Links

NoFollow

I finally finished another Squidoo lens called NoFollow Backlinks - my first since my Star Parker Biography lens.  It seemed like a good theme, since the Google Panda and Penguin updates really did a job on those internet marketers who had focused solely on dofollow backlinking.

I have shared the lens on Stumbleupon, Digg and Delicous and on SquidU, in their recent lens thread.  I think that it will do well, but you never know.

New Lens: Star Parker Biography

Just finished up another lens, since I am going on vacation and will not be able to make another lens for over a week.  I continued with my female conservatives theme and created a lens about Star Parker.  I have made similar lenses about Lila Rose, Pamela Geller and Rachel Marsden.

Star Parker biography

I think that the Squidoo lens should do well, as the keywords that I am optimizing for are not that competitive with the obvious main keyword being Star Parker Biography.

New Lens: Traffic Travis Review

Traffic Travis Review

Since Squidoo doesn't pay for the traffic that you produce to your lens during the month in which your lens is published, I have decided to focus on sales lenses now.  Unlike Sunglasses Day this lens is all about sales of a Clickbank item that I have titled Traffic Travis Review.

Sine I have done very well on the SEO type of lenses, I thought that this lens would fit in pretty nicely.  My lenses, Free Do Follow Backlinks and High Quality Backlinks, should be able to drive some decent traffic to the lens, along with SEO.

New Lens: National Sunglasses Day

Sunglasses Day

It took up the Squidoo quest to create a lens for a wacky or offbeat June holiday, since there was 200 points in it for me - Sunglasses Day seemed to be the most interesting, little competition and some side benefit of possible Amazon sales on sunglasses.

National sunglasses day is on June 27 every year.  I tried to optimize my lens for sunglasses day, but also some low competition long tail keywords around sunglasses.  I think that I did a decent job and I hope that Google gets the lens crawled quickly and gets it ranked, so that I can see some traffic and get some Amazon sales.  Since the lens was created in June, I know that I won't get paid for the traffic.

Remember, wear your sunglasses on National Sunglasses Day on June 27 - even at night!

New Lens: Notre Dame Jerseys

I decided to keep the Notre Dame theme going and published a new Squidoo lens titled Notre Dame Jerseys.  This lens is a sales lens, unlike my other three ND lenses:  ND SMC Observer, Notre Dame Football News and 2010 Notre Dame Recruits.

Notre Dame Jerseys

There is quite a bit more competition for the keyword, so I have been a bit more lenient on the number of long tail keywords that I have used in the initial text box - deciding to go all out with jersey numbers, types, sports, et al.

My hope is that the lens has time to rank with Google with multiple keywords throughout the summer, so that it is ready for the NCAA football season.

New Lens: ND Observer

Hot off the press is a new lens that I put together about the University of Notre Dame school and student newspaper, The Observer.  I have been trying to get to a third and a fourth lens about ND to go along with Notre Dame football recruiting and 2010 ND football recruits, so that more traffic can flow through them.

ND SMC Student Newspaper

I probably should have thought about doing this lens on the ND SMC Observer, when school was in session, but it will give the lens some time to crawl up the SERPs before students get back into school and football season starts.
