RSS Can Bring New Content to Your Squidoo Lens
Among the major attributes of the world wide web is that everything can and is connected.
Connecting many smaller sites can create a much larger picture, plus be a great boost to your online marketing efforts.
A large selection of modules is on offer from Squidoo.
There could possibly be modules for your personal text.
Or it may be your YouTube module, where you may bring in videos to your page, thus truly setting up a multimedia environment.
Another popular module that's well worth using may be the RSS module.
Now have a look at all the modules being offered.
You might like to add some additional ones of your own.
You will notice on the right hand side the Add Modules (shortcut) item, click this and it will open a little window showing all of your options.
Click the 'Browse all modules' button and it will take you to a section where you can watch a Squidoo Module Tour for more information, or if you are already aware what they are about, click on the "All Modules" button on the left hand menu bar to search through all of the options.
While you are there, select the RSS module.
Click the 'done adding' in order to save your selection, to ensure that it will come up on your page as an option.
This new module will automatically get put into the bottom of all of your modules.
It's very easy to maneuver this around.
Just drag and drop the module in to the spot you would like it to be.
Click the edit button for the RSS module, and enter every detail in to the fields provided.
It's probably advisable to have the name of the site you are linking to as your header, but it really is down to you what you would like to see there.
Its not necessary to worry about the type of RSS.
It is already entered for you.
You simply have to add the name of the website or blog, to the field that asks you where you would like to get the RSS feed from.
There are several options you can manipulate.
Add the module; provide a title, a subtitle, and a description (if you want to).
Enter the RSS URL, put how many headlines that you desire to be shown on your page, whether you want excerpts used, the frequency you want the module updated (daily), and whether or not you would like HTML displayed (yes you do).
Generally speaking it is really easy to accomplish.
Additionally, it means that you constantly have new content feeding to your lens.
Obviously it means that you would need to have new content on your blog that you have linked to.
An advantage of the RSS feed, is that Google does not penalise you for duplicate content, provided as long as it has been sent through via RSS.
This really is a benefit because it ensures that you are able to retain your content on your lens fresh, without the hassle of penning new content.
Good luck guys!
