Inside Pauls Brain

Paul what are you yammering on about…

I mentioned Squidoo a few days ago, easy to use, well interlinked and the pages “lenses” seem to be ranking well in all the search engines. The amount of direct traffic you get won’t necessarily be huge but it is definitely worth having your own lense..

Someone mentioned that it all just looked like a blog to them, and then we discussed squid and calamari and then I wondered if there are squid farmers?

Now I don’t know if there are squid farms, but my brain went

squiddo.. blog.. blog farms…. Squidoo farms?

This is a new idea to me so I am just throwing it out here for you to mull over and run with if you fancy it.

Say your money site is about Dogs..

big dogs, small dogs, Labradors, beagles, Irish wolf hounds

Instead of making one lense about dogs, why not make one lense that corresponds to each page or section of your site?

Have each one with a link back to the relevant section of your site or even have them all link back to your home page.

Before you ask I don’t have any way of automating this, you will have to do good old fashioned work (sorry).

Sort of like a mini blog farm or maybe a mini net..

And what about maybe a few lenses pointing towards one major lense?

I should also mention that it is worth joining some relevant groups on squidoo as that helps you climb up the ranks as well.

So could you farm squid for profit?
