The Billevard

The numbers getting up there.  This week I published 5 more lenses that are already indexed and receiving a healthy amount of traffic.   No sales though, boooooooo!  I did go back and mess with the keywords though on some of them, so hopefully the boost in traffic can spit out a sale or two.

That would be ideal.

What isn’t cool is that one of my larger lenses (by larger I mean by the amount of traffic it gets) lost a lot of hits this week.  I’m guessing a competitor came in and yoinked it from me… oh well, thats how the internet works.

5 more lenses coming soon.

This is an update on the squidoo competition.

I now have 15 lenses that bring in about 150 visitors a week. 4 of the lenses were active on squidoo and indexed in google the next day, which is very impressive.

Now how much money have I made thus far? Well… no sales on clickbank, but I did make one sale through Amazon which puts me $1.43 ahead. Woohoo! No sales for Garet, but hey, I guess we still have till the 19th of this month.

I didn’t get around to releasing 20 lenses, but I did add more content to them and plan on publishing them shortly.

Better late than never!  Here’s my update on the squidoo challenge I am having with the owner of http://www.welcometomyisland.com.

I don’t feel comfortable exposing my strategy yet, but I can say I’ve recieved over 200 visitors to one of my lenses I started last week.  I plan on monetizing it this week.

I have started two other lenses that are specifically made to promote affiliate programs.  These two lenses are getting about 5 targeted hits a day.  I’m hoping I get at least one sale out of 60 visitors, which is what I’ve seen in past lenses I have made.

Alright, thats the update!  I’ve published 3 total lenses and have 20 drafts I am adding content to that I plan to release by the end of this weekend!

I can’t really say I know a whole lot about squidoo, but I can say I have read a lot about how valuable it is as a traffic building tool. If you read my last post, an unexpected challenge, you know that I was challenged by the owner of Welcometomyisland.com to a competition. The competition starts this week *today), and the objective is to make as much money possible by creating squidoo lenses. How do you make money with squidoo lenses? Well there are a number of ways. The method I plan on using is finding at least 30 niches and promoting affiliate programs on each targeted lense.

I already made one lens, because hey, this is a competition and I’m in it to win. Oh and yes, there will be a weekly report (unlike my non-existent “commenting for traffic” report that I said I would write monthly, eheh) that will come out every Sunday until March 19th, which is the last day of the competition.
