affiliate marketing with a collection of web 2.0 websites is a great way to build backlinks to your own websites and money pages. They usually rank better in the search engines than your own new websites do.

But once your website is about a year or two old, and you have built a bunch of backlinks you will be surprised at how well you can rank for long tail keywords. A simple article post with keyword in the title,page name,and twice in the post can rank on the first page. Not always but it is common enough. Add in some relevant related keywords and your new post can do well. You don’t want a post to only be on the exact keyword add in relevant keywords.

Example:

Main keyword “Acne help ebook”
Related keywords “skin care, skin problems,clear up skin,remove acne,acne scars”

When you add these other kinds of related words, your page is more valuable to the reader (in googles eyes)

Back to my main focus in this post: How to use Squidoo and other web 2 websites that allow you to add pages to their site for free. With the added value of high PageRank.

A lot of people use these sites wrong. Myself included. I tried building 50 squidoo lenses to promote various products with affiliate links on the squidoo page.

The problem with this is Google sees those links and I believe it hurts your search engine rankings especially if the squidoo lens is brand new.

I have tried a new tactic that seems to be working a lot better.

Don’t put affiliate links on your lens. Have all those lens,hubs point at your own website with just a simple anchor text link. Put about 4 links to your site and specifically a landing page for that specific problem/product.

And use the big arrow option at the bottom of your lens, it really catches peoples attention and gets them to take action.

Without affiliate links and if you have some decent content, you might be happy with the search engine rankings your new lens gets right off the bat. Add in some backlinks to your lens and you can push them up even more.

This way all your lens don’t have affiliate products/links on them and they are all adding backlinks to your own domain. You can use that later, trust me.
