Quick Tip: New Way to Promote Your Lens

You know building links is super important. I recently found a great website to help build more links to your lenses.

It’s called shetoldme.com. It is a bookmarking site similar to Digg in that people can vote up or down your submissions.

Unlike Digg it welcomes product related submissions as well as being ok with you submitting your own stuff. Our kind of site ~ right?

It is also an ad revenue sharing site ~ which I’m not sure is going to add up to much, but it could be something. :)

It’s super simple ~ just create a new account. Acceptance is not immediate ~ but it only took overnight for me, and someone else said it was only an hour or so.

Once you’ve been accepted ~ grab the url for the lens you want to submit.

Log in to SheToldMe.com and you’ll see a link to add a link/story.

Click the link and a page will show up where you fill in your info.

Just fill in the url. Add your title (make sure you use your targeted keywords you found in your kw research). Then create a description. I just write a little bit about the product or why someone would want to check the page out. The description has to be 200 characters, which is only a couple sentences.

Just below that you’ll be asked to choose a category ~ unfortunately there aren’t a ton of categories, so just pick the one that is most closely related.

Then choose your keywords ~ I’ve been picking wider keywords and not adding my exact kw here. Ex. ironman gravity 4000 inversion table is the kw I used in my title (that’s my targeted keyword) I would use inversion table in the tags section.

The tags section is connected to their site ~ it links to other related “scoops” on their site. I dont’ want to compete with them for my main keyword. Make sense?

When you’re done click “send it now” and you will create a scoop. :) The title and the read–> link both turn into keyword anchor text links that point to your lens.

There is also a place in the profile section to add a website. A link to that website is created on every scoop you create ~ so great links to that site as well.

This site offers do follow links and appears to be doing quite well for people ~ just one more quick and easy way to create another link to your Christmas Cash lenses. :)

What do you think? Have questions? I’m all ears.

    I signed up for shetoldme thru your link,
    they have 100% adsense revenue sharing-great.
    I logged into my adsense account to get my number and I was shocked to see in the my accounts section on the side of my ID number, the percentage that Google is paying me for someone clicking on an ad.
    Mine says:

    AdSense for Content: 68 % publisher revenue share

    AdSense for Search: 51 % publisher revenue share

    I thought these were secret!

      what a great tip!! 2 Questions, tho, do you have to click the “Publish” button at the end?
      And, also, how long before your “scoop” shows up in the “newest” category?
      Thanks!

        It will show up immediately on the front page under “upcoming”. The publish button actually says “send it now”, so yes, you need to click that.
