I have accounts on both Hubpage and Squidoo. I think the best way here is to optimize well, without spamming or doing something unethical. These sites are very good tool in helping us grow our site’s traffic.

I appreciated your article here about these two free publishing platforms…I’m curious about your opinion though about all of the no follow tags in these..?

I’d suggest using both. They are similar and may ways, yet different. Each carries their own pros & cons.

Squidoo is by far more beneficial for traffic

I found the answer you need a 75 score and they remove the tag.

My question motivated me to check the page source. All my links on HupPages have a NOFOLLOW tag. I suspect many people of corruptly recommending these places when they are of no use. I hope someone can disprove me because I need something that works.

I am just a beginner so maybe someone can answer? Google has not found any backlinks I made. Are you sure links created on Hubpages go through to your site? What is the no follow rule? How can you be sure when you get a link that it would be followed by Google to your site?

I’ve just started to use Squidoo as a nice way to drive traffic to some of my websites. So far I haven’t seen any benefits, but this is because the lenses are still too young to bring enough “link juice”. I hope it pays off.

Thanks for mentioning Hubpages, maybe this will be the next step for driving even more traffic.

See you,

I like Squidoo but I have never found that it has a significant effect on any of my keywords. It does make a good back link.

The Google slap back then affected rankings temporarily, but good lenses still rank high for many keywords. They also say that the total Google traffic for Squidoo has continued to increase.

There are always anomalies is Google SERPs, that’s just normal I guess.

I have been playing with Squidoo for about a year and noticed that some pages get up to PR4, but after a big Google slap in the middle of ‘07, something weird happened to a lot of squidoo lenses. Im not too sure if the PR shown is the actual PR for squidoo pages. Oddly enough I have even seen some lensmaster pages with like a PR 5+, and I double checked my google toolbar…Anyone know exactly what is going on with this?

I never heard of this. I will have to check this out. I have a squido lense that I use for link juice. I am starting one right now.. I will have to check back in and show you.

Thanks

You make some great points - I have had Squidoo lenses for some time and the traffic they generate via SEO is great for my sites. The money that I have generated off the Adsense from Squidoo is minimal but the link juice that Squidoo lenses offer is powerful.

I have just started with HubPages and look forward to even more link juice going to my sites and possible more $$ via Adsense.

personally i think squidoo is great in generating traffic - i’ve established many lenses which is generating referrals and indirectly money for my other sites
