High PR links are certainly going to help you out, I see what you're saying about not looking natural per se, but it's not like you're going to get penalized or hurt your site cause your links are only of high PR - makes no sense. It's not a bad idea to focus on high quality, high PR links, and once you've built up a solid foundation, you can start balancing out your profile with some cheaper, lesser quality links.

A page which only has high PR backlinks won't pass a manual review for sure. You can say a manual review is not likely to be happen and I agree. But who knows? Why taking a risk, if it's so easy to avoid it by building some low quality links too?

I couldn't disagree with you more... first of all, manual reviews aren't going to take a look at your entire link profile. What kind of high PR links are you talking about? There is absolutely nothing wrong with making quality comments on high PR blogs related to your niche and dropping your link in. How could that possibly be looked at as a bad thing? Even if the blog isn't relevant but still has high PR (4+) and you've left your link along with a useful comment, it's still going to be beneficial. High quality websites linking to high quality content is always a good idea, regardless of relevance.

If you're talking about buying high quality links than maybe that will cause some issues but that's not because of the PR, it's because buying links is frowned upon. It just doesn't make sense to me that a website would be penalized because their link profile is too high of quality.

This is a very good thread about Squidoo. The links are dofollow if placed properly. Also its a good source of traffic if you can manage to insert yourself into a community. The best thing you can do is to keep releasing lenses and make sure they get featured... HubPages is also a great source of traffic and do follow links if you rank high on it as well. I think you need an author rating of 80.

Squidoo works best when you have more than one lens. Squidoo has built in internal linking where your lens shows your bio and a link to the other lenses you have created.

But, aside from creating more lenses, other things that I do is to post in the Squidu.com forum, include at least one of my Squidoo lenses in my Warrior Forum signature (so that one is getting a good SEO boost). I submit the RSS feed from Squidoo lens to Feedage (just because I'm too lazy to do a bunch of RSS feeds) and then I'll usually find a couple other ways to get a link to the lens, either bookmark it myself, or purchase a Fiverr gig.

Some Squidoo lenses I've created have done well right away, others, well I had one I promoted using Angela's backlinks for a couple months and yes, included in blog signatures, and it went nowhere.... then 6 months later it suddenly was high on Google's page 1 results.

Other lenses I've done very little promotion and they've done well, I guess it just depends on the competition. But you need to offer good content so that people will stick around and read what you've written or watch the YouTube video. Create a page that entertains.

I dabble in Hub and Squid pages for backlink value and precision anchor-text links to my money site. But I certainly don't build the pages to help THEM make money off my content. We're far better off optimizing our own sites and content FIRST.

I've actually had a Squid or Hub page OUTRANK my own site which is NOT ideal. But at least it led to some indirect traffic until my own site gained enuff authority and PR to outrank the lens or hub I built.

I think bookmarking the Squidoo Lens is a good idea, it's what a lot of folks do with their Web 2.0 properties to boost their main site

Squiddo are very good on increasing traffic to your site.Also it helps on the ranking of your site.

Accordingly hubpages and squidoo is use only for get visitors with both of them. It is very good for get visitors and page rank.The use of Squidoo is still pretty prevalent among online SEO experts. This is a simple and very effective way to bring in better quality backlinks to your site.

Squidoo can actually rank itself for keyword search terms! It is also a great property to use for back links to your own site. lots of people browse squidoo so it can be a good way to drive traffic.

Another nice way to utilise it is to build back links to your squidoo page. this will act as a filter as your do follow links to your page will get the benefits too.

Squidoo will bring traffic to your site if you build your lens properly on its content. I put anchor text on it.

u can put do follow backlink in squid lenses but before the lenses publish,i think squid admin will review it manually. so, dont put to much irrelevan link
