Squidoo Marketing Strategies : ping your Squidoo lens to the top of Google's listings

Yesterday one of the participants in my Squidoo Marketing
Strategies e-mail course
asked a very legitimate question
that proved to be beneficial to him and to me.

Here's the question:"Which keywords have you got onto the
first page of Google for? (I don't remember seeing any squidoo
lens come up when I have been searching.)"

I indicated that a search for "affiliate marketing coach" showed
my lens of the same name at No. 8 position (out of 1,220,000
search results). My blog held positions 1 & 2.

I was surprised that my squidoomarketingsecrets lens was not
showing in Google's list for searches of the same name. So I did
a test that you can do.

I entered the full url of my Squidoo lens in the Google search box
- and the result? Google could not recognise the page.

That night, I submitted my lens to the search engines using a fr^e
auto-submitter. The very next day my squidoomarketingstrategies
lens was No. 1 on Google for the keyword of the same name
(out of 936,000 results).

So here are the steps:

1. submit your Squidoo lens to the search engines:
http://www.ineedhits.com
(fr^e submitter)

2. make an entry on your Squidoo lens

3. publish your changed lens

4. ping the search engines:
http://www.pingoat.com/
(fr^e pinging service)

Repeat steps 2-4 regularly.

position for your Squidoo lens, get a copy of my e-Book:
