      I have an eCommerce site. I like to review 100 of my products on Squidoo. There will be 50 lenses each lens will review 2-4 products. Each lens will link to each product review and one link to website URL.  at the end of the project I would make around 200-250 links to my site. How should I extent the work. Should I do it within a month?

      of course I will do my other link buildings along with this task

      Thanks

        Hi,

        Squidoo is not very reputable site from this what I know.  I would suggest to build at least a 30-40 authority for your site and after to add this in squidoo. I dont like to much that site, was also punished before, I dont know if still is.... I wouldn't do that if I will be in your place. How old is your site/? I guess is new?

          Saeed I'd suggest you scale it down to maybe 5 lenses about specific niches or maybe just 1-2. Too many links of one type, is manipulative link building. If there was no SEO benefit, would you still do it ? I would consider spending the same time in strengthening the content, internal links and or trying to acquire 2-5 high authority links or maybe just 1 high authority link, the kind of link that money can't buy....a pure natural link. The impact of that kind of link would be much more then the benefit of the 50 squidoo lenses and the possible risk.

                Actually I would like to do it over night if I could. I like to get the benefit of brand exposure.

                I think I will still do it but I sell my product from amazon. I have all my product video on YouTube. I can use that. From there visitor can come in to my site. Make strong lens and maybe later I will add links to my site from these lenses.

                Please advice

                  Why review your products on Squidoo and give the content to a different site that can rank above you? Why not instead make YOUR site the one with the strong content?

                  Google is quite aware that links from a place like Squidoo aren't exactly natural and are often set up for situations like this.

                    As Keri recommended below, it would be much more productive in the long run to build this using unique content on your own website instead of 50 thin Squidoo lens pages. They used to work 5 years ago...not any more.

                      I do add new fresh content and I agree 100% with Nakui and you.but in the mean time all product on the lens are mine that I sell in amazon.com . Not only I sell my product I will let a charity collect my commission here. Then later I will add a link to my site. Mybe question should be. Does links from web 2.0 has any value? or is this should be another post

                      Thank you so much for your supports. I am really trying to learn here.
