Deep linking for deep indexing has become an obsession for SEO experts and newbies alike. Just do a Google search on the term “deep indexing” and you will see the energy that is being invested in this area of SEO.
To achieve deep indexing, affiliate marketers are creating multiple “internal sitemaps,” submitting multiple pages to search engines, adding a “popular post category” to their blogs…and so on.
Well, the great news for Squidoo lens masters is that Google automatically indexes Squidoo lenses.
I discovered this by looking at the daily stats for each of my Squidoo lenses over several weeks. The surprising revelation is the depth to which Google indexes my lenses, such that not only do I get visitors searching for my main keyword, but now I get visitors searching for the most unlikely “long-tail keywords.”
I know for a fact that Google is indexing all my Squidoo module headers, text within modules, video titles in YouTube modules, and links in link/list modules.
Here’s a sampling of some of the long-tail keywords searchers have used on Google, MSN, and Yahoo to find my lenses:
* development of marketing strategies for higher education
* companies that get paid to send photos
* squid – market strategy in 2008
* moss on the floor of the rainforest
* dream story about how the world was created
* unlimited social marketing viral videos
* affiliate website marketing step by step
* Facebook Engagement Marketing Strategy
* free software to turn my photos into movies
* Biome: Rainforest/Animal Survival
* Facebook personal page marketing character
* Simultaneous editing of Knowledgetree
* easy to remember poems about trees
* how to strategize to win a tennis match
* programs that turn your photos into cartoons
* singers who sound like Eva Cassidy
* songs to sing before a tennis match
* YouTube digital bath hawaii
What you can do is build your Squidoo lens in a way that encourages search engines to deeply index your lens, but that’s another story! The key is to vary the keywords you use on your Squidoo lens…and this goes against conventional wisdom.
