The temptation to get some “help” with your Squidoo lens can be overwhelming. After all, you’re working on the lens, or lenses, not to mention your other online entrepreneurial projects.

You only have so much time and creativity after all! Some people have used Squidoo software automation tools to help them build lenses and some say that this is a good way to build lenses quickly and easily.

But there’s a problem with doing this – lenses that are being built this way on Squidoo are being banned! That’s not your goal, right?

Squidoo software tools aren’t provided to you by Squidoo - that’s important to know. You have to pay for them and what they do is this: they look at your keyword and they search the Internet and scrape content from other sites to put onto your lens!

This is really unethical not to mention you wind up with a hot mess on your hands. One customer I know used a keyword “pumpkin” thinking she’d get great Halloween or fall décor items, but she wound up with Pumpkin colored shoes!

Other tools help you find tags for your lens, but as I’ve said before, ever since January 2008, you can forget about using tag pages to rank well in Google – they don’t index the tag pages anymore.

Squidoo software automation tools are most likely not a good investment. You won’t get your money’s worth and you could get your lenses banned, risking your entire Squidoo account – I know I’d be highly irritated if I put in the effort to build a bunch of lenses (Squidoo software of not) and woke up one morning and found them all gone.

A much better alternative is to do your lenses yourself, be creative, use all of the tips and support available to you through Squidoo guides and gain traffic and rank the right way.

If you really need automation – why not try this: Order a lens from myself and Lewis at BuildMyLens.com and then once you take ownership of it, you can mimic what we’ve done as you expand your Squidoo lens empire!

Just say no to Squidoo software!
