Squidoo – A Case Study In Getting Ranked At Google
Hello Folks!
You can DO this!
A while back, say 7 months, I got this idea to build a few Squidoo lenses and see if I could learn how to get them to rank well for certain traffic keywords, get good traffic as a result of that ranking, and then go on to monetizing the site.
You can make money from ANY site… if you can get the traffic that is right for the site to come to the site.
When I say “certain traffic keywords” I mean keywords that are relevant to my page, that have a decent amount of searches, cost a good bit in Adwords (not a deal breaker), and don’t have a bunch of .gov or .edu or pagerank 5 and up sort of pages in the top ten search results on page one at Google.
You know…I never put it that way before and I never really got it down to it’s essence before, either, until tonight, but there it is.

I made the mistake of choosing not to know the why’s and what for’s of keywords for a year longer than I should have!
As soon as I cleared up the “mystery” of keywords so that I could see the big picture of SEO and Search Engine Marketing I started making sales and building lists.
WARNING! Once you are getting ranked for keywords and you actually know what to do to move them up, it is absolutely ADDICTING to strap on a “Serp Checker” and “Watch” your keywords!
Here’s a little more about Squidoo lenses.
I realize I just said something that a lot of people are going to watch fly over their head and miss my little old point.
The point is…it is time well spent ADVANCING your keywords and it isn’t time so well spent WATCHING them advance.
Keywords are your key.
The keywords YOU want to be ranked for are…
1. Relevant to your offer page or a page leading to your offer page.
2. Have a lot of searches per day/month.
3. If Adwords thinks the keyword you are considering is worth quite a bit that’s great, but it doesn’t really figure in UNLESS you are going to put Adsense ads on your page
4. AND the keyword you are targeting HAS to have “beatable” competition.
That’s it! Do you think that is difficult? I did too.
But it IS the “Key To The Kingdom.”
For me, the biggest advances were generated in three “giant steps.”
1. I went to The Keyword Academy! Only $1 for the first month and I didn’t NEED any longer than that!
2. One Week Marketing (It took me about six weeks – but it worked!)
3. The BIG ONE! If you are a little advanced in online marketing concepts, like I was AFTER I had gone through The Keyword Academy AND One Week Marketing, you are ready for the BIG TIME and it ISN”T going to cost you an arm and a leg.
The big one…. InlineSEO. ( I know you haven’t heard about this – that’s VERY good!)
Here’s to YOUR success,
Keywords Are The Key!
