Submit Solution’s 4 new Squidoo lenses

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Submit Solution has four new Squidoo lenses, all focusing on different aspects of the Internet-marketing company’s services. Web pages on Squidoo are called lenses, I suppose because they give you a view into someone’s mind, life or company.

Submit Solution logoI’ll give a brief description of all of the new lenses below. Be sure to check them out and rate each of them, if you like.

One lens focuses just on Submit Solution’s Internet-marketing blogs. Each of these blogs has a different focus: search engine optimization, paid search, social media and Web design. You can find it here: Submit Solution – 4 Internet Marketing Blogs.

Another lens gives you more information about Submit Solution’s services, including Web design, SEO, PPC and website content. You’ll find it here: Submit Solution – The Best Internet Marketing Services.

Submit Solution’s website launch is spotlighted on another lens. It includes the news release announcing the updated website’s release in September 2009 and the company’s new features and services. You can find that news release on Submit Solution’s website under “Press.” It’s entitled, “Submit Solution Launches New Web Site with Web and Logo-Design Services.” The lens can be found here: Submit Solution Online-Marketing Website Launch.

The final new Submit Solution Squidoo lens is short and sweet. It includes some of the newest blog entries from the site’s four ecommerce blogs, as well as Submit Solution’s contact information. If you want to get a hold of a Submit Solution representative, that’s a good place to go. Check it out here: Submit Solution: The one-stop hub for internet marketing.

Step 7 to topping Google: Site promotion

As promised in my last blog entry, this is the seventh and final part of this series on strong search engine optimization strategies. We’ll close this series by discussing how to promote your website and get noticed by your target audience.

Don’t expect your website to become popular overnight. Traffic doesn’t come to your site just because you get your site ranked high on search engines for specific key terms. You need to provide services and content of interest to your audience, and you must get out there and share the good news about your site.

A great way to let people know about your services and website is to blog about them. Search engines love blogs because they are constantly being updated with fresh content, full of (hopefully) relevant links, and magnets for attention from the blogosphere, if you do them right.

For instance, I recently blogged about eHarbor’s creation of Squidoo lenses. We created Squidoo lenses for:

- eHarbor, Inc.

- Magellan Commerce

- Submit Solution

- Real Estate Promoter

Squidoo is a great tool for showing off your products, services, talents, knowledge or anything, really.

Social media sites are another great way to promote your website. Once you write a blog entry or fill your website with strong content, submit it to social media sites to get the word out.

Here are some of the sites eHarbor uses:

- Delicious

- Digg

- Diigo

- Propeller

- Reddit

- StumbleUpon

- Technorati

- Twitter

It’s also a good idea to add your business to Google’s Local Business Center. This allows you to show up on Google Map searches, and also to have a map of your company’s location next to your search result on Google.

Try not to get to excited or start spamming social media sites with news that isn’t particularly useful. Just be wise and moderate in your attempts to promote your website, and you should do fine.

Wow! This has been a fun series to write. I hope you enjoyed learning about Web page titles, optimizing images, simplifying URLs, improving website navigation, and including relevant anchor text with links.

We’ve got plenty of other great ecommerce topics to talk about in the eHarbor Blog, so stick around. Check out Google’s SEO Starter Guide for more information on search engine optimization.

I have some great news to share! eHarbor, Inc.’s Squidoo page is up and running. Squidoo is a social-media tool you can use to advertise your business and services online. You can also use it just to write about something you enjoy that’s not related to ecommerce or anything like that.
