Hi there. Squidoo is now more strict on your lens content. Is it helping you to rank or just traffic? Is it still useful in many ways? I just find it confusing now though I wrote content on my own, still there's always something missing for them to approve.

Thanks,

    From what I understand about Squidoo new lens content, they are just attempting to keep plagiarism. If you are having trouble submiting your articles because of the links, I would link the article to my blog. And then have a follow up post with all the links I need to get my point across. After all, an article is just a free back link, or traffic generation.

        Squidoo is the most popular and search engine friendly web 2.0 platform allows you to add content on its pages through lenses. Squidoo has made different strict changes in its submission but you can still get benefits in term of getting valuable links and good amount of quality traffic to your website.

    I have a pretty good formula worked out for Squidoo. It does require a little bit of work, nothing major, but it pays. I have a video of me taking a squidoo lens from creation to page one for a highly competitive keyword here:
    To answer your question, you really need to make best use of your text modules and make sure you use your keywords in the both the titles and subtitles. Your headline above "my lense is about" top section is important. Your exact keywords need to be in that title and as close to the first part of the headline as possible. Your conent simply needs you keywords sprinkled though. The real trick for on-page SEO and this holds very true with a Squidoo lens is that you just need to make sure Google knows without any shadow of doubt what your page is about. Don't confuse Google. Just make a keyword focused lens and don't try to rank for more than one keyword on a lens. If you have some other keywords just make another lens for each keyword, lenses are free. Once that is done all you need to do is get backlinks which can be bought or made yourself. The service I use in the video is Unique Article Wizard (UAW).

    But the way I do this is I use UAW to get back links to my lens. If UAW is used right it is the absoulte best way to rank any Squidoo lens or any website for that matter.

    If you have anymore question about Squidoo let me know. I have had a ton of success with Squidoo.

    Thanks,
    Better content helps you rank better, which helps you get more traffic. Why is it that they won't approve your lens? Did they state any particular reason for not approving the lens?

    If not, try adding some pictures or videos to your lens, make sure the text content is high-quality and your visitors will enjoy it. Make it easy to read, split your paragraphs so that it is skimmable and scannable and maybe create some bulleted lists or just something that will make your visitors enjoy their stay on your lens.

    Concentrate more on quality. Do not spin articles, write your own and googlebot will love them a lot. If you often change the content, you have more chance to invite googlebot to your website multiple times. Panda loves links origination from content than any other sources.

    Consider using WL Markting to create Squidoo lenses for you. I've heard they're good, but I haven't had an occasion to use them yet so I can't give a personal recommendation.

      I thought both Squido and Hubpages are quite similar..What differences do you see in them? Can you elaborate more on them so that we can also analyze whether we should be posting on Squido or should switch to Hubpages...

    I believe that squidoo lenses are still important to achieve rankings.. Although, it becomes no-follow now and have less relevancy in search engines, but still it has significance in search engine world..

    Squidoo is always the best web 2.0 property that is very effective to have a back link from such a high pr site. If your lens's content is legit and well qualitative it get approved and make you rank for many keywords according to content. I have been using squidoo almost regularly and recommend it to have a great backlinks for your website and as well as visitors.
