You’ve gone through the labor of love and completed a superb Squidoo Lens.  Now you need to do certain things to promote your lens.  You want people to visit.  So what do you do?  You get backlinks!

One of the best ways to get your Squidoo Lens noticed is through Lens Directories.  Lens directories are websites that are specifically designed to assemble Squidoo Lenses and put them into categories that make it easy to determine what each lens is about.  These links to your lens, called backlinks are thought to give pagerank and additional traffic.

So, if you are interested in generating more traffic, getting noticed by the search engines, like Google, and letting people know that your Squidoo Lens exists, then it is in your best interest to utilize these Lens Directories.  The more backlinks, the merrier.

I am going to be assembling a list of Lens Directories - those directories designed primarily for Squidoo Lenses in order to make it easier for you to find and link to these sites.  You took the time to build a lens or lenses - so take the time to get you lens posted into these directories.

LensRoll

This is the first Lens Directory that I came across in my search for ways to promote my Squidoo Lenses. It is probably one of the original Lens Directories.

CraigsSquidooList

Self billed as “a PR/Backlink Haven”.  At the time of this posting there were 1993 lenses on his list. The LensMaster, Craig, promises to “Comment and 5star/Favourite EACH n EVERY worthy Lens submitted here!”  Html is permitted, so you have a great source of Backlinks here.

SquiDirectory

Lens Master World

Primarily a pay-to-play Lens Directory. The more you pay, the higher your spot in the directory and the more features that you are provided. There is a free listing option available that is limited and requires a reciprocal link from your lens to the directory. Take a look, but know that there are lots of totally free lens directories available for you to promote your Squidoo lenses.

Help Me Out!  –  If you have a favorite Squidoo Lens Directory, please submit a link in the comments section of this post and I will eagerly review it and comment/rate it here.  It would be great if this became a premier resource for LensMasters to find Squidoo Lens Directories.  Thanks!
