Adding the 2 essential Modules to your Lens
Posted by Squidette on February 16, 2007
Modules are how you add content to your lens. The text module is pretty obvious, that’s how you add your, um, text. Yes, you will want to add content, and how often you do this is part of the equation in boosting your Lens rank both within Squidoo and on Google.
We’re going to focus on doing a few set-and-forget things that will boost your rank, popularity, traffic to sites you link to from your Lens, and hopefully money too.
To get started, click on Add Modules at the top of your Lens. From the basic modules, add Guestbook and Links Plexo. Then click Save. Now you’re back in your workshop and you can customize the content of your Guestbook and Link Plexo. I suggest leaving the word Guestbook and Link in your titles, for us newbies at Squidoo that aren’t used to what everything looks like yet. You might want to leave instructions for your visitors, like what sort of feedback you’re looking for in your guestbook, and what kind of links you want in your links list.
You now have in place the 3 systems we will be using to support each other – we can rank each other’s Lenses by making sure we are first signed in to Squidoo, then clicking on the stars at the top of each other’s Lenses. Then we can add our links to the Links Plexo if they are related to the topic of the website, or we can leave a message in the Guestbook, with links to other websites or products. I haven’t gone into anyone’s guestbook and tried this out as of yet, but I think I’ve seen it done.
I had a long day yesterday, didn’t get much sleep, and may not be making sense. Your feedback is much appreciated.
