Recently, Squidoo updated their tag pages to be more useful to visitors and search engines. If you’re not familiar with tag pages, these are pages that list lenses that use a particular tag. Have a look at the Lensography tag page for an example. There are hundreds of thousands of tags on Squidoo, providing an additional Related posts:How To Pick Your Primary Tags
Originally posted on SquidU Forum as The Importance of Primary Tags. This post was published on April 21st, 2008 and updated on July 23rd, 2009.

Searching for Squidoo lenses on a search engine can be a real pain sometimes, as the results are very often filled with non-content pages.

Squidoo beginnings
So I have began my Squidoo journey like many others. So far I still have under 20 lenses. My goal is to try and get all these doing well and making money before I start on others but is that really the way to go I wonder? Should I be just building and building. How was the beginning of your Squidoo journey, did you start small or grow fast? Did you advertise at first. I didn't till after the first few months. The more Squidoo lenses I read everyday the more I learn about what t

Real People, Real Success...
"Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don't need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies." ~ Elad Shippony
