In the next few posts I am going to touch on a very important topic, how to get free traffic to your website.

A problem almost all webmasters face is how to get traffic to your website without spending an arm or leg. Over the next few newsletters, we are going to touch on some great free traffic tools, which will help your campaign immensely.

The first program I would like to touch on is called Squidoo. If you have not heard of Squidoo by now, you probably have not been doing your homework.

Squidoo is a social book-marking site that caters to advertisers. Unlike other popular social networking sites, which frown upon marketing your products, Squidoo is a bit different. You can sell directly on Squidoo without any backlash.

Squidoo is great for many reasons, but the one reason that we like best is that it is free! Free is always fantastic, especially when it’s effective. Not to mention that Google especially loves Squidoo pages and gives them a good page rank.

The first thing you want to do is make your way over to Squidoo with the following link:

http://www.squidoo.com

Next you have to create your account and then create what Squidoo calls a lens, which is really a summary of home page information.

You set up a lens by clicking the “Get Started” link on the Squidoo’s homepage, then just click “Make A Lens!” on the next page.

Just follow the easy step-by-step instructions and create your own lens with whatever content you desire.

You can make your lens look professional with some smooth editing, images, RSS feeds, YouTube links, Blogs, Amazon,etc. The list goes on and on. The more features you add, then more popular your website can be.

Once your lens is published, not only will you get traffic just from the Squidoo network, but you will also pick up extra search engine traffic. Just make sure you insert the right keywords and use a 5-7% keyword density.

Make your way over to Squidoo and set up your lens right now.

Warm Regards,

Chris Douthit
