Google Serps Part II - Squidoo Tag Theory
Arr... This Be The Captain! Thanks for Stopping by to check out my piratey bag of Squidoo Tricks! If you are new here, you might want to get free updates and squidoo tricks delivered straight to you via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
In the first part of this series, I talked about what different kind of links there were and some basic ideas on using these link types to get indexed and ranked by google quickly.
Along those lines, you can also use tags on your squidoo lens to create some very awesome backlinks. I’ve recently done an about face on how I use tagging on Squidoo and have noticed some great results.
Since each tag has it’s own page on Squidoo, you are creating an instant backlink to your lens each time you create a tag. Similarly, every time you change a tag, your link goes from one tag page to another…
Here’s the trick,
You want your lens to show up on highly relevant tags that that have multiple lenses pointing to them. You also want to be on the very first page if there are more than one page of results for that tag.
Example:
For a lens about polar bears I might have used to use the following tags:
- Polar Bear christmas card designs
- arctic polar bear habitats
- Polar Bear clothes and shirts
- Polar Bear Pictures and videos
etc.
But now I’ll set my tags to look more like this:
- Polar Bear
- animals
- arctic bears
- iceberg
etc.
Tags that are highly relevant and have multiple lenses linking to them will get you indexed faster and ranked higher.
By doing this, and practicing Primary Tag domination, you build up a nucleus of high ranking mini-sites that connect to each other in loads of different ways.
And that’s a good thing
