    Hello everyone!

    I have just created my first squidoo lens with a view to helping with my rankings.
    Has anyone got any suggestions from their experience with Squidoo?

    All the best

    HI @rajasbanquet

    I always liked Squidoo but have not been there in awhile.  I will head back there soon!   I know a couple of people who are Gurus with Squidoo but I certainly never reached that level of intensity.  I think it does help if you do the content right.

    Eileen :D

    Hi @supereb

    I am really enjoying using squidoo. It is great because you can update most of the common social media including Pintrest!

    I started out trying Squidoo but never really got into it.  From these comments,  I think I should check out again!  Thanks @rajasbanquet and @supereb.

    Hi @dianebianchi

    Thanks for your post. I find it great fun using Squidoo  – and of course you get do follow links from a high PR site thrown in!

    Have a look at my first attempt at building a lens http://www.squidoo.com/indian-caterers. Look forward to your comments!

    All the best

    @rajasbanquet I really like your lens (and I, too, wish you would deliver to the US – I love Indian food!).  I think you did a great job.  It really communicates what you do.  I think I’ll have to give Squidoo another try. :)

    Thanks for sharing. I had given up on Squidoo a while back. If you think of it, let us know if you’re seeing any direct traffic from Squidoo as time goes on.

    Hi @dianebianchi

    Thanks for having a look at my lens! Will be putting up more soon! Have a go – it is fun!

    Hi @rich-brooks

    Sure will! My motive really is backlink building! It would be great if you could give me a few pointers!

    Many thanks

    I remember an interview w/Seth Godin who founded Squidoo a while back and he said that the site didn’t offer much in the way of link juice any more because they refused to play by Google’s rules.

    So, I’m not sure of the backlink building from an SEO standpoint, but if you’re getting inbound traffic from it (check your Google Analytics) then it’s still worth it.

    I feel there may be better places to build those backlinks, though, like through guest blogging for example.
