It seems that the perfect thing here are finding long tail tags that have enough results, but where you can rank in the top 10 to be displayed on the first page of the tags results.

Does anyone know of a tool that monitors your positions in the tag results on squidoo?

I wrote a lens today and added about 20 tags. Is 40 the limit? I am anxious to see how this lens fares!!

Now that I have your blog on my iPhone, I plan to study it!!

Thank you!!

I’ve just discovered that the tag pages aren’t indexed by search engines, and don’t pass link juice to the lenses. See the trackback above for details…

[...] There’s plenty of advice on the subject: MrLewisSmile has done a very popular lens on tagging tricks, PotPieGirl did a blog post on how Squidoo tags are important, and CaptainSquid wrote how link juice flows from tag pages. [...]

Jeff and Bfuniv,

I think that having diversified content that uses a variety of phrasing and tenses about your lens topic helps you more than the tags do. That being said, a handful of ‘orphan’ tags that are still highly relevant are sure worth putting in the tags. I usually keep it to under 5 ‘orphans’ though but that’s just me.

My question is, the longtail keyword tags are helpful for Google as long as they are mentioned in your lens somewhere, right?

So where do you find the line of what tags to use for SE’s and what to use for Squidoo?

Good stuff, I’ve searched your archives and learned a lot.

One thing I would mention is that some of my most frequent Google hits come from key phrases that are lonely on their tag pages. I’m searching for the balance between lensrank and Google/Yahoo.

I have a lot of work to do.

Another important reason not to create a new tag page – until the lens is indexed by the search engine, the tag page won’t be. Much better to include tags that are already indexed, and link to your lens so it’ll get indexed quicker.

Excellent post, Captain – it’s given me an idea for a new tool too…
