Squidoo Feedbacklinks - Links every marketer should have.

As a lot of you already know, parasitic back-linking has been one of the best back-linking methods for a long time. This is still the case today.

Parasitic back-linking involves a web 2.0 site that allows you to create your own page, like squidoo, hubpages, myspace, wetpaint, etc. These sites live on user generated content, and are often referred to as "web 2.0 properties". Building pages on these sites and linking to your site from the page you have built is what we call parasitic back-linking. It is parasitic because you are feeding off a big site (like a leech feeding of a big human), this is good because your site (the leech) will gain a lot of nutrients from the big site (the big human). In a nutshell, google loves big sites like squidoo etc due to their popularity and active communities. Hence why having a link pointing from those sites to yours is a good thing, google will give you some love as these communities have linked  to your site.

I hope my explanation of parasitic back-linking suffices, if not, be sure to ask me questions in the comments below.

Heres the step by step guide for generating your own Squidoo Feedbacklinks for your site:

1. Go to http://www.squidoo.com and do a search for your main keyword. For example you have a site about squid tentacles; your main keyword should be squid tentacles, so search for "squid tentacles" with speech marks (this searches squidoo for pages/lens' with that phrase in it).

2. Now that you have a list of pages/lens' in front of you, you can go to the first lens listed. On this lens there should be a comment/feedback section (somewhere where you can drop your link). If there isn't a feedback/comment section then just go back to your search results and click on the next lens' until you find one with a comment/feedback section (most lens' have comment/feedback sections so dont worry).

3. Now that you have found your first lens related to your keyword that has a comment/feedback section, you can place your link. First you must know a tiny little bit of HTML in order to have a link that works:

<a href="http://www.yoursitehere.com">your keyword here </a>

You will have to insert the code above into your comment if you want a back-link from the lens you are commenting on. A word of warning: Don't use the same keyword in the "your keyword here" section of the code over and over again, google penalizes your site if you spam that part of the link (anchor text, also known as the title of your link). Instead of using your keyword in the "your keyword here" section you could just enter your entire message in there to avoid the google anchor text spamming penalty.

4. Now you have to write your comment, nothing new here, just apply common sense to your comment. A good comment will simply be related to the lens. If the lens is talking about how slimy squid tentacles are, then make a comment about how you touched a squid tentacle once and can say that they are indeed very slimy.

5. Post it! Three results may occur: One, your comment may appear shortly (this is best). Two, your comment  has to be approved first (this is second best because your comment may not get approved). Three, your comment might appear with no link ( this is the worst because your comment wont link back to your site). These three results are determined by the lens' creator (lens' master). You will only know if your backlink works once you actually try to post it.

6. Repeat 1-5 for as many (try to do it to all of) the lens' that come up when you search for your "main keyword" in speech marks.

The Squidoo Feedbacklinks method is very easy, and pretty damn quick (takes me about half an hour to backlink from 4 search result pages of lens'). Not many people use this method,  especially now that squidoo is nofollow. PR is becoming less important, so squidoo links are still one of the best links you will ever get. I will go over making your own Squidoo lens and how to get that to rank in the near future.

P.S. " = speech mark, not quote. Although most people call speech marks quotes. A quote = ' and wont have the same effect.
