		<title>Which Backlinks Count for SEO?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is  a huge question. Different tools find different backlinks. For example, checking my Free Web Graphics &#8212; How to Get Them (Legally!) lens on SquidUtils&#8217; Backlink Checker, I get this:

		<title>Updates to Squidoo Modules List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been a few recent modules added to the Squidoo module browser. They&#8217;re listed under &#8220;new&#8221; at the bottom, but haven&#8217;t been filed under any category, so the only way to find them is to click &#8220;Browse all modules&#8221; and then search for them by name.

		<title>Controversies &amp; Hoaxes Draw Web Traffic</title>

		<title>Quickly Check Your Webpage for Broken Links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a handy tip! Squidoo lensmaster carriewhite asked in the SquidU forums for a feature to check for dead links on lenses, and thefluffanutta of SquidUtils said there&#8217;s a number of free online tools for that.
I tried the W3 Link Checker as Fluff suggested, but its interface is a little intimidating and hard to understand [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;You Have No Right to Traffic&#8221;</title>

		<title>My Other Squidoo-Related Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it; I&#8217;m a journeyman when it comes to web traffic and SEO. I know the basics. I know how to do keyword research and how to use keywords.  But I don&#8217;t focus enough on linkbuilding. I can get 100+ visitors per week to a lens, but not thousands. Some people can.

		<title>How Your Squidoo Bio Builds Backlinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ooo! Everyone&#8217;s always wondering where to get backlinks. One thing people often forget about is that inter-linking counts. That is, links from the same domain as your page count as a backlink! That&#8217;s why Squidoo cross-links lenses in so many ways.
There is a powerful backlink source hidden right in plain sight: your Squidoo lensmaster bio.
