I am now experimenting with making Squidoo lenses based upon lyrics of songs. There are a number of benefits to their simplicity, including:
- The potential that you could rank higher is the way in which your lens is constructed and the fact that you could have more related content, thereby probably ranking higher in the SERPs than a competing page.
- You can add easily add the song’s Youtube videos and other content that is not included on other lyrics sites.
- Another benefit includes your including Amazon links to the album or MP3 single.
First, take a look at How To Make A Lyrics Lens. He did a GREAT job describing how you can make one and the benefits of it.
My modifications include:
- Using the Amazon Spotlight module for the album
- Using the Amazon module for the singles (mp3 singles of just the one song)
- Adding a Blackbox module at the bottom, pointing to other related lenses
- Lensroll your related lenses together
- Adding a Flickr module and set it to a slide show (for the artist or band)
I just started and am already seeing good traffic.
After you’ve got your lenses out of WiP status (work in progress) add them to the following groups.
Lyrics Headquarters – add your lyrics lenses to groups, including this one
Here’s some of my current lyrics lenses:
Beck – Replica
Beck – Modern Guilt
Beck – Volcano
Beck – Orphan
Portishead – Hunter
Portishead – Silence
Constantines – Our Age
Constantines – Hard Feelings
