Squidoo and Forced Money and Keywords

Well, I now have 2 lenses up on squidoo. The success mindset lens and a new one reviewing a new business opportunity called Forced Money. You can read my lens here if you're interested.

Anyhow, the point is I put my forced money overview lens on squidoo yesterday afternoon and within 2 hours it was coming up on page 1 of google when people entered "forced money" into the search engine! Woo hoo - good on ya squidoo....

Whilst enjoying myself and searching over and over for "forced money" my head getting bigger by the second thinking how clever I am I came across a site called yedda.com that I'd never heard of before. It's a site that allows you to ask questions and I saw someone asking if "Is Forced Money a scam?" which had a link to a lens that has a review on it as well.

So like any good internet marketer you copy what seems to work for other people so I created an account (free) with yedda.com and asked this question.

Lo and behold that entry also came up on page 1 of google for the keywords "forced money" and it only took a couple of minutes!

I got a grand total of 12 hits to my lens and most went on to the Forced Money website and read the sales page, although sadly, no one purchased.

But why only 12 hits when I had entries on page 1 of google?

Because Forced Money is a product that's only been released in the past couple of weeks. Few have heard of it so why would they bother searching for it? It's important to realise that if you want hits to your website people have got to be searching for your keywords.

In this instance I'm happy with the few hits I've got so far. Once more people hear of Forced Money, the more people will search and the more hits I'll get if I maintain my first page rankings and I'll do that by adding fresh content on a regular basis.

Interestingly, yesterday when I searched there were only around 3,000 competitors, now there are around 4,000 competitors so the word is spreading....

Hope you learn something from this post. Essentially what I wanted to show you is that it is possible to be on the first page of search engines simply by using a lot of the free tools on the internet.

Anyway, I'm now going to add some content to my squidoo lens.

Oh, and don't forget about qassia and hubpages.... Results there would be similar I think, it's just that there's only 24 hours in a day so I haven't done much with them yet.......

Until next time

Squidoo, HubPages and Qassia

In the never ending quest for traffic I have a couple of suggestions.

As far as I can tell in my limited experience so far - Squidoo, HubPages and Qassia are all fairly similar. Despite the fact they are similar it's probably a good idea to spread your efforts across all three platforms.

I have started a squidoo lens that you can look at here. I am attempting to get traffic to my site and/or sell Michael Lee's persuasion ebook. Either outcome is a winner as far as I'm concerned.

Squidoo lenses can come up on search engine results too, so my goal is that if people search on the term "success mindset" at google then my lens will appear in the top 10-20.

Currently if a squidoo user types "success mindset" into the search on squidoo I rank at number 2! Not bad at all. That should translate into traffic for me!

Anyway, this is all very very new to me so I'll let you know how I go. However, I am confident that with a bit of tweaking here and there I can have it all working beautifully.

Just wanted to share in case you could use this tactic too. And did I mention they're free? Well, they are free!


Good luck
Sharon
