Creating Lyrics Lenses on Squidoo
Posted on July 15th, 2008 by reviews
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:
Are you working with something that allows you to auto-generate these lyrics lenses or doing it “by hand”.
It seems like the probable per lens return would make it tough to spend that much time putting together individual lyrics lenses to me.
Am I wrong? Can a single song page really generate sufficient revenue/traffic to make it really worthwhile?
Its a new way to bring some more traffic. I need to try it. Thanks for good hint
this isn’t really a comment on this post, but on the site in general. there seems to be some glitchy stuff going on in ff3 with the navbar up top.
that’s an idea! im certainly considering making lyrics lenses myself after reading your post, and by the way, im a huge beck and portishead fan!
I have been playing around with these as well and the idea is great - just not sure about copyrights on using the lyrics though
Really Creative Idea DUDE… Surely i would love to try this…
I love Beck !
Squidoo is a good way to spread the word about your site or service. It ranks quickly and carries a lot of weight in the search engines.
Seems like a good idea, but aren’t there any potential copyright issues that might arise from publishing popular lyrics?
Realy good idea, but as YouTube Marketer mentiont, is think there will be problems with copyright issues
