Hey Warriors!

I may have brain mush so bear with me, but can I submit a Squidoo lens URL in my bio box at EZA? For some reason, I was under the impression that I couldn't because it went squidoo.com/(and then the rest of the name). I thought it had to go to a domainname.com URL.

Am I totally confused?

If I can submit to a Squidoo lens URL, I'll be in Heaven.

    I have included a link to squidoo lens in several articles recently and they were accepted.

    Hi Tiff,

    Well i'm not sure if it's 100% the same thing, but i have quite a few of my EZA articles linking to a squidoo lens. However, i always use an anchor text link, usually a keyword phrase.

    So yes you can definitely link to a squidoo lens, but sorry i have never tried actually just putting in the url, e.g. squidoo.com/*****. (But i'm guessing being the squid "queen bee" you'd know that anyway!!

    So sorry, that's as much as i know! I have what's known as permanent brain mush!!

    Cheers

    Ah thanks guys and gals! I'll go try it - I'm excited now! I've been holding off this whole time. I submitted an article 2 days ago and today got it accepted and it's already #1 in Google. I was excited, so I wanted to get traffic to my lenses this way too.

      I actually wrote 5 articles on Monday and linked them to an old squidoo lens that had been lauguishing in the depths of squid hell!! for a few months.

      The articles got published on Wednesday. Just in those 2 days, that small, tiny effort has pushed the lens into a top 7,000 ranking on squidoo and back onto the top of page 2 in Google for it's main keyword!

      So it's kind of inspired me to spruce up that lens!

      Cheers

    I have used both the anchor text link, as well as the actual squidoo link in my Ezine Articles without any problems.

    Man the code was too simple for the anchor text too - I was using all sorts of more complicated anchor code to add and it wouldn't take. K.I.S.S. rings true!
