Backlink Suggestions Needed for Squidoo Lens...

Hello Warriors,

I wanted to inquire from the masses, as to what you thought or recommended to be the best "mass backlinking" option I could choose based on your experiences, for a Squidoo lens. Let me explain before the "Mass backlinking" backlash is replied. Lol, I know Google evoked the massive Penguin of Death. However, when I mean "Mass Backlinking" I mean options that may help generate 10 backlinks a day or something reasonable for a period of a few days or so. Maybe a Fiverr gig you bought that was well worth it for you without spamming the masses of 1000's of backlinks?

Anyhow, I ask because this is my scenario. I chose a particular keyword to use for a Squidoo lens that I've made. I added a few affiliate links within this lens throughout the lens itself.

Since putting it up in February, the lens has recently made it to Page 1 in Google as the 5th ranked site. However, as of the last couple of days, it has slowly been dropping to #7 and now #8.

The keyword itself, is a high competition keyword netting (per Google keyword tool search) roughly 12,000 searches a month as Exact. And to be able to make it to Page 1 of Google for this keyword was shocking to me! I actually made a few CB sales within the last month (two over the last couple of days) as a result.

So, my question is this: What is the best recommended options to help jolt this lens from #8 on Page 1, to maybe #3 if not #1?

The pages ahead of me when I do a Google search, are two Youtube videos as #1 and #2, and then 5 other sites in between, one which is a PR3, another a PR2, and the rest (per SEOQuake) which are PR:0 sites with no Alexa rankings at all.

I'm sure that my lens can at least crawl up to #4 possibly. And I've been posting the link here and there via FB and Twitter. However, oddly enough, it climbed up in the ranks on its own as I didn't do much promoting of this lens not even thinking it could climb up to where it is now.

However, now that it is where it's located, I am wanting to try to get it to #1 or at least #3 or #4 if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated regarding suggestions towards getting this further up in the search rankings before it potentially drops.

Thanks in advance!!

    First, add more content to your lens.
    Then, start using only white hat backlinks. Don't use spam
    Hint: Google is now using social type votes. Make sure to bookmark your lens. Then, tweet your lens and try to get that retweeted on a daily basis.

    Hello Indie,

    Thank you for the tips. I actually oddly enough, added another module to my lens yesterday with more of the keyword that I've been using that surprised me with rank.

    I also bought a Fiverr gig where within 7 days, the seller will post to social bookmarking sites, the title of my lens, and description. So hopefully that will also help out the lens some.

    I just found it a bit difficult to promote a lens in the same manner as I would a website, as I don't intend on making my signature for example, my lens URL instead of my actual website. I've been tweeting it again a bit more than I was before, as well as Facebooking it too.

    Hoping that this will get it jumped back to the place it was and maybe even further. I was looking more into Fiverr gigs that were social bookmark related, rather than posting to blog comments and such. So hopefully this will play well into backlinking. Crossing my fingers on it. Thanks again!
