Recently, after the demise of the Discovery tool and with Squidoo Groups having faded into (mostly) obscure places in the far reaches of Squidoo, an old stand by for optimizing your lens has re-emerged into viability – tagging your lens.
Tag pages are once again indexable by the major search engines. Fluffanutta has an exceptional review [...]
I’ve heard several questions the past week about ‘when’ or ‘how’ to add external links (links to other sites) to lenses.

If you missed it, make sure and read the first part of my series on Squidoo link flow from and to lenses.

This is the beginning of a 4-part series I’m going to release this week that describes how I believe Squidoo’s internal link structure works to help you get better rankings and what you can do to take advantage of it.

I wrote a guest post for PotPieGirl yesterday exploring some new tricks I’ve learned about getting passive backlinks with YouTube modules.
I haven’t published that trick anywhere else, so it’s worth checking out. PotPieGirl runs a great marketing and SEO blog and talks a lot about actual implementation of theories you hear so much about.
