Can You Use PLR Content on Squidoo?

Every Internet marketer knows what a powerful tool Squidoo can be. But writing all the content you need to make enough lenses to be effective can be a real time drainer. That's why many people are curious as to whether or not you can use PLR content on Squidoo.

I want to lay aside your fears and let you know that, yes, it is acceptable to use PLR content in your Squidoo lenses; but there are certain guidelines you should follow. Not only will following these guidelines help you to make certain your lenses don't get flagged for duplicate content; but they will also help you to create more lenses faster than you ever thought possible!

The first thing you need to understand about using PLR content on Squidoo is that, just as with using PLR on any other site, you must rewrite your PLR content to make it original, otherwise you run the risk of having your lens flagged as being duplicate content. Since this will hurt your credibility not only in the search engines but as a marketer as well, it's important that you rewrite your PLR content at least 30% before adding it to your lens.

Once you've rewritten your content so that you won't be penalized, it's easy to get caught up in thinking that you need to add a lot of content to your lenses in order to rank well. This simply isn't the case.

In fact, a 400-word article can be turned into two separate modules on a single lens, giving you more than enough content to rank well if you understand how to properly use keywords for SEO purposes.

This is great news for you as an internet marketer who wants to make the most out of using PLR content on Squidoo; because it means that you can actually create more lenses with less work!

One of the best ways to do this is to purchase a PLR article pack that contains roughly five articles. Since each article can be used to populate two different modules on a lens, this means that you can get five lenses out of a single article pack!

You can also add PLR videos to your modules to make them even more appealing. Video is really big in today's web 2.0 world, and users absolutely love sites that include them. A good PLR video is typically rebrandable, and if you can find one that relates to the articles you are using on your lenses, you can increase your traffic, ratings, and clickthroughs to whatever products you're promoting.

Once you've uploaded all of your PLR content onto your Squidoo lenses, assuming they are all in the same niche you can cross promote items between them. This will help to increase your sales, as well as your rankings within the Squidoo system.
