Squidoo - One Of The Best Ways To Get Inbound Links

Inbound link building is one of the most important parts of off page SEO that you have to do. To generate inbound links you really have 2 choices – paid or not paid. Which ever way you choose to generate inbound links, it is agreed that once the links get recognized by search engines, they can help your website or webpage with rankings.

One of the best ways to generate inbound links is to write articles. By writing articles about your website and including anchor texts for the keywords that you are targeting, will help rankings for your keywords. Apart from article writing, there are a couple of other resources that you can employ.


One of these resources is Squidoo. Squidoo is a really simple way to generate free inbound links pointing to your site and webpage. Squidoo is a free service which is similar to myspace or Facebook however, you can use Squidoo much more to help generate inbound links to your webpages. You compose a ‘lens’ and within your lens you generate the links to your webpage. There is no limit to amount of lenses you can create and by ensuring that your keyword density in your lens is 5 – 6%, Google can rank your Squidoo lens very highly for competitive keywords. Not only can Squidoo provide another inbound link resource but it can also help generate traffic to your website. Also, you can choose the title of your lens and include your keywords in the title, which helps Google pick it up.

In most cases, the lenses take 5 – 10 minutes to create and can be about whatever you want them to be. You need to remember your SEO though and not to include keyword stuffing etc for obvious reasons. Also, the lenses tend to go live pretty much quickly and Squidoo has a good PR rank.

However, you need to be careful. Your lenses have to be good to get ranking within Squidoo and with the search engine. Also, the lenses can only appear once so publishers can not use them as webpage content.

Therefore, by using sites like Squidoo, you can help gain good inbound links for your website in addition to article submissions.
