Promoting your website using social networking sits is one of the most popular method to promote your website today. This week, UK Webmaster Forum members have been discussing how to use Squidoo to promote your website.
A new UK Webmaster Forum member, Roo contributed a very detailed tips and info on how to build a successful Squidoo page, excerpts:

I’m maybe not the most experienced or successful squidoo member, I’ve never got in the top 100 (overall, top 100 per category is easy in comparison!), but I’ve come close a couple of times and quite a few of my lenses get a good amount of traffic and some even earn me money! Hopefully I can share with you some tips to improve our output on squidoo. I’ll cover a couple of things a few people seem to have in common, but I’ll try and keep it short!

Modules – these are the bits that come pre-formatted with titles and suggestions for what goes in them – Make sure you do alter the default title of each module – If you don’t want to put anything in the module, delete it. – Have a look and see what modules are available and what they do, there’s dozens, if not hundreds! (many, many, many more than previously mentioned – just go to add module and scroll thru the tabs, each of which usually has a few pages too)

Content – same rules apply here as they would anywhere, without unique content you can forget about visitors, and the more content the better. If you have a lot of text, split it up and create a few more text/write modules to put it in. (it’s rumored that search engines like this as they give emphasis to the module headers in results), Add pictures to each write module, you know a sea of text isn’t inviting.

Affiliate marketing – Feel perfectly free to make it as commercial as you like, include the same affiliate ads that you have on your website or add others. The only restriction here is it has to be HTML, no java or iframes, no gambling links, and a few other common sense conditions. Avoid making it too spammy as if reported as spam it may get deleted along with your account. If you’re new to affiliate marketing using squidoo’s product modules maybe a good start, though as the bucks mount up (they pay in dollars by paypal), you may start to resent them taking about 50% of it! Amazon and ebay modules do tend to perform well, though there are alternatives to using the squidoo ones. Squidutils provides a nice tool to create similar links to amazon which you can add your own affiliate id to and link to the UK amazon, which the normal squidoo module won’t. The only downside using that tool is they take 20% of your clicks! You can also generate Ebay RSS feeds with your affiliate code and drop these in the RSS module to great effect!

There’s dozens of links I could place here to give you tips, show you tutorials and give examples, though am not sure I can post links being a newbie! Where I’d recommend you starting was by having a look at the top performing lenses by seeing what’s in the top 100 of the category you’re interested in and seeing what they look like.
I’d also recommend looking at some of the squidoo tutorials, there’s a great one on basic squidoo html, one on advanced squidoo html, one on tweaking the css, just for a start and these will really show you how to alter the look and feel of a page and optimise the html/css available. One that I’d plug, (cos i made it!), is one about using ebay rss feeds with your affiliate id.
