So how can Squidoo help your internet business? How can you market with Squidoo? Let’s jump back to SEO. Remember that the way to rank high in the search engines is through proper use of keywords and links to your site. The more sites that have direct links to your site, the better.

That’s where Squidoo comes in. You can create a Squidoo page that is in your niche. On this site you can write a sales page, an article, or anything else that will include links to your site. Doing this will:

1) Generate traffic to your site when people click on the link.

You see, people are coming to your Squidoo site specifically for information and will do so over and over if what you have to offer is good. This is the kind of website that the search engines like to index.

Each Squidoo page is called a lens and when you create your own lens, you become a lensmaster. Lenses are extremely easy to make, even if you are not website savvy and can take just minutes to have up and running. Just visit www.squidoo.com and follow their instructions.

As if this wasn’t enough, you can also make money directly with your Squidoo lens through affiliate marketing. Whether you are using Google AdSense, Amazon, eBay, or any other third-party site to make money, Squidoo tracks the sales you make from your lens. You keep 50% of the sales and Squidoo takes 45%, while 5% goes directly to charity. Squidoo also allows you to give all of your profits to charity if you wish.
