 Hey guys,
 I finally got a squidoo lense onto the first page of google! YAY!
 
 I was wondering the best way to go about getting it form 10th position to in the top 5.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Shiva

 Hi Shiva,
 
 That's great provided that it's an in-demand phrase. Else no one will ever notice it. If you get one visitor a day or less, I doubt you'll feel that it was worth it.
 
 Sure, you can link a bunch of articles to it and get temporary traffic. But, that will only last as long as people are viewing your articles. If you don't have it set to draw organic traffic, the traffic will die within a short while and first place in the SERPs won't mean much.
 
 Backlinks and time can raise your SERPs position.

 Great advice from NS - articles help and I use them a lot but only to help me get traffic as I build quality content that will draw organic traffic which is like gold in my opinion!
 
 When you see your lens get organic google traffic THEN you know you are doing it right!

 Shiva,
 
 You could consider creating a few more lenses and writing articles that target
 the secondary keywords and phrases currently in the primary lens. Then link
 them to the primary lens.   The additional inbound links will give you a boost.

 Shiva might also submit a press release and create a couple different additional backlink sources and then leave off in favor of what you've suggested.
 
 Creating a mini niche is a good idea.

 I spoke to the guy at wesnet LV dot com.  Since I don't know anything about this stuff, they hit the ball out of the park for me.  Did a new site.  Got me on page 1 of the Goog from the depths of blackness!  They got their own servers too.  They're out of Nevada but no matter, I'm in Illinois.
