Top Tips for a Money Making Squidoo Lens

Pick an profitable keyword

Well before you create your money making Squidoo page you should start with a large list of keywords to compare and choose from. There are 3 ways to do it.

  1. Create a keyword list manually
     
  2. Create a keyword list using free tools

  3. Create a massive list full of data on autopilot
      - http://yoomakemoneyonline.com/tz

There are many things that a good keyword should have:

  • High estimated traffic
    Usually derived by multiplying; the 'min adwords CPD' by 10, or the 'max Adwords CPD' by 5.
    Its all an estimate because Google Ads will get different traffic ratios than the organic SERP listing depending on the nature of the keyword.
     
  • High Adwords Cost
    This will boost your Adsense income from Squidoo.
    It also indicates that this is very profitable and converting market.
     
  • Low Competing Pages
    If you type a keyword into Google using Quotes "Your Keyword Here"
    It will return a number of competing pages that have optimized or targeted this keyword.phrase specifically.
    The lower the number, the less work you will have to do in order to get your Squidoo page rank at number 1 in Google's search engine result page (SERP).
    Anything under 150,000 is worth a shot at.

  • Affiliates Products Attached
    Your keyword will need affiliate product attached to its market.
    Type your keyword or market theme into a Google Search along with the word 'affiliate' and dig around.
    Pay attention to the finer affiliate details like, commission percentage, conversion performance, length of the cookie, recurring earning (monthly subscriptions), multi-tier affiliate networks.
     
  • 'Buying Stage' Psychology
    Know your audience. The tail attached to the great converting keword should indicate that the customer is very close to buying a product.
    For Example; 'Buy Squidoo eBook' or 'Squidoo Queen Review' rather than 'Free Squidoo eBook'
     
  • Know Your Competition
    Back engineer the websites ranking for your keyword.
    No point trying to promote a major company (as an affiliate) using a keyword that they already rank number one for.
    Try and work what your competition has that you dont!
