I just started a squidoo lens its in the make money online niche.. I know tough niche but I get a notice from clickbank saying that they will charge me "dormant fees" (not making sales) if I don't make sales by a certain date. Might have to close my account if I don't make enough sales.. how do I get targeted traffic to the squidoo lens thats in my signature?(The Newbie Workbook) Otherwise thinking about throwing in the towel..

I will head over there and leave a nice comment, 5 stars an social bookmark your Lens for you.

You can write and publish additional content and link that content to your Lens.

Here we have a small list of places to submit related articles:

Hub Pages
Scribd
EZine (original content for sure)
US Free Ads
Go Articles

There are tons or sites to publish on actually. These are my favorites.

When you rate and leave comments on other Squidoo Lenses, often the author will return the favor.

To really automate things, after you make a few sales, you might want to have a look at Traffic Bug.

I hope this is helpful,

Victoria

That is a HARD niche to get traffic for...

Is that something new they are doing?

I am always curious why people choose the work at home niche when there are thousands of niches out there just waiting to be discovered.... and most of them are way easier to get traffic for, especially with places like Squido....

p.s. I rated it as well - you did a great job on your lens!

Basically, you need to rank higher on Google. Google is the best source of free traffic. But you need to know how to rank.

The level of completion for the keyword "Best Free Affiliate Program" is not bad. It's only 46k and it should be easily doable.

But this is not a good keyword to choose. From reading your lens, it seems that it is targeted towards people who are new to making money online. They won't search for best free affiliate program isntead they will search for things like, how to learn how to make money online.

That's probably the number #1 reason why are not converting at all.

We don't really have much control with our squidoo lens when it comes to search engine optimization unless we buy our own domain name. However, I found it very useful if you always edit your lens and also subscribe to your own lens. Goodluck!

I actually have a lens about search engine optimization. You might want to look at it and get some tips on how to submit your site to search engines.

Squidoo can be worth the effort. I'm fairly new at it myself and am just starting to have some success with it. It really a great tool for any affiliate to use to increase exposure.

Driving traffic to your lens will really matter on your niche keywords that you have researched, once you find the proper keywords traffic will come. Take Care.

You can use free classified. Because it is free to advertise and you'll get sure traffic. And some site host your ad more than 6 months.

I have just left a nice comment on your squidoo lens.

Clickbank don't make life easy for beginners with discreet charges for this & that & their over generous sixty day refund policy, but it is a good way to sell products & through writing articles & pointing the article keywords to your lens, which helps them get indexed by the search engines, will increase traffic & give you more leverage & the chance of making some sales.

Choose your products wisely (Ezine & Go Articles) & write articles about them & choose the correct keywords, in order to gain maximum exposure.

Best of Luck

Mark

I usually just use squidoo as a landing page / web site and write ezinearticles directed to it for traffic... Try this method..

This is what I have been doing also. Very excellent way of directing traffic. I've found that Ezine gets me more traffic and customers respond really well to squidoo.
