Squidoo: Is it worth the Time?

By
Real Estate Agent with KW North Sound 103527

Squidoo is a site that has been growing in a similiar fashion as our beloved ActiveRain community. It has many contributors participating in groups and building profile pages called: "lens". There are many different types of lens and some of the fastest growing are the real estate section. There are groups that are for REALTORS, real estate and small business where we can get our information out there in more areas.

Not too long ago my Squidoo interests have grown and now there is a Washington Real Estate Group which anyone in our beautiful state can join. There is but two stipulations: the lenses must be related to real estate and be in Washington state.

So far my lenses list has grown to include:

The search placement of these lenses is very promising and so far the highest ranking one is Snohomish County new construction, #2 of Google for Snohomish County new construction.

If you would like to create your own lense please accept my invitiation here.

Hey Guy,

came across your info while browsing the internet, i am new to internet stuff like marketing and site ranking etc...Hope you don't mind me asking how do you keep your info updated?  How can i get my website to have more success?  I just sell real estate in Detroit http://www.easydetroit.com/

 

I don't have a links page, that I know of, so I guess how would I get a link from you? Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

 

Ciao,

Ted

Sharon, most of our marketing/advertising is all web based. It has been in the work for 3 years now and I don't put all my efforts into the AR network. Plus I get bored with one thing and it keeps my interests by changing from one item to the next...and now I have 5 websites on the first two pages of Google for Marysville Real Estate. :)

Well Ted that is a complex question and a great place to start is in the Blogging & SEO group. There are many posts written about rankings and such by some quality bloggers and webmarkerters. Another great to bolster rankings is to join the ActiveRain network.

 Hi Toby, I think anything that can bring in more one way inboud links is worth the effort if you have the time to do it. Squidoo is another great example of that. BTW, have a great holiday season and a truly amazing New Year.

Toby, if just takes a little time and patience. You'll get there. All of my lens are in top 300 now. Add a few more links to yours, keep them updated and you'll see them take off. -Charles
