how do you freshen your squidoo lens?

Tuzic · 09-24-2008, 09:53 AM

hi warriors,

i have a squidoo lens in music & its currently #188 in music & lens rank 4793 and i would like to push this up as much as i can but there is only so much info i can keep adding to freshen the lens so how does everyone freshen their lens? adding lots more content?

You can add other widgets like youtube videos, amazon widget etc. You need to keep editing something in the lens to make it look fresh.

hi,

ok i will keep editing using the widgets u mentioned, but how long can i keep doing this for? because wont the lens then become a bit too long? as we are promoting our site & would like to maintain this lens?

I think you can keep changing the keyword in the pre-existing youtube videos or that in the amazon widgets. As I heard from few people, your lens will be fresh even if you edit widgets. Not sure about that though.

hi,

how do u change the keyword? where is this? can you show me please? as i dont know?

ramkarthik · 09-24-2008, 10:12 AM

Yes sure.

When you add a youtube widget (or edit already existing youtube widget), you have an options:
1. let youtube pick
2. let me pick
3. pick by youtube username

select the first option - let youtube pick

Below it asks you to enter tags or keywords to find videos. For different keywords you enter, different videos will appear in the lens.

Hope this helps.

Sometimes I change or add to the tags. You can also change your YouTube Videos, spotlight a different Amazon book. There are very easy ways to "update" a lens without massive content changes.

Even switching the order of modules around works. So does having a regularly-updated RSS feed on the lens - that freshens the lens content every time it updates, although it won't change the "date you last edited".

You could add a new text module, all you really have to do is write a paragraph for it like a little blog post every day, maybe a short review of some new music.

Are you pinging your squidoo rss feed in pingoat or autoping. That can help you get a bit more exposure.

Pete is also running a wso with a new rss feed aggregator. You could add your feed there too.

People tend to over-complicate this process. Simply
move, add or remove a punctuation mark. That's it.
