Bum Marketing Tips For Using Squidoo Lenses
By Justin Michie | April 10, 2008
A powerful way to build a successful bum marketing campaign is by using Squidoo lenses. Not only are Squidoo lenses fantastic for getting top search engine results, but it’s not really all that hard to master.
Follow the tips I’m outlining here and you’ll soon have a profit grabbing bum marketing campaign using Squidoo. Many bum marketers are writing like mad, but not taking advantage of this massive opportunity. You’ll be shocked at the difference in traffic and profits you’ll get just by adding Squidoo to your bum marketing arsenal.
Here’s the rundown on how to best use Squidoo for bum marketing:
Once you’ve signed up at squidoo.com just fill in the blanks that are provided to create a lens. Basically each lens you create will be a collection of articles / posts, with a few bells and whistles.
When building a lens you want to break up your information into several ‘modules’. Make sure the first module is a great introduction that makes use of all your keywords.
Your bum marketing keywords will become your Squidoo tags. Make sure you use these well in order to get the best search engine rankings. You should spend a decent amount of time optimizing your Squidoo lens for your chosen keywords.
Do you niche keyword research before you start creating your lens, and remember to make use of your long tail keywords. This is the key to successfully using Squidoo for bum marketing.
Include images, banners, videos, and of course the affiliate link in your lens to help sell readers on the niche product you are promoting. Be sure to make all your images, banners and pictures clickable… to your affiliate link. It’s also advantageous to link to quality sources of information that relate to your lens and include good descriptions for each link. If you have a related blog, website or anything else link to it.
You can link to related articles you’ve submitted to article directories through your bum marketing efforts, as well as other people’s websites on the subject. Once you’ve got multiple Squidoo lenses, you can also link those together for additional traffic.
In order to get the best use of the Squidoo lenses you’ve created, you should frequently add new content. This will have Google coming back to your lenses often, which will benefit you in the rankings. By having multiple modules in each lens you can add fresh content quite easily. You can also use an RSS feed to add new content to your lens.
And lastly, you should also create a bio for your Squidoo lens. This needs to include a picture of you and links to your sites. If you do this you might just wind up with your lens listed in the top Squidoo lenses. This would be a fantastic advantage for bum marketing on Squidoo – just think of all that traffic!

I’m also considering using a specialized copywriting software called Glyphius. Has anyone had any experience with this? It is supposed to use statistical analysis to optimize the wording of your advertising copy. I’d be interested in hearing any feedback, good or bad. Thanks
