If you’ve got a blog or website and would like to direct traffic to it for free, Squidoo is one of the quickest, easiest ways to do so. It’s easy to use and free, as well as being fun. You can have your Squidoo site up and running, and doing all the promotion work it can in just fifteen minutes. You don’t even have to have your own hosting service for photos or other media - it’s all done for you. Affiliate marketers use Squidoo to market their products. You can look at this site like a combination of a MySpace account, mini website, and blog.

What you create when you use Squidoo is called a lens. These sites are what you might have encountered when you search. These lenses are used to distribute information and act as online advertising marketing. Lenses contain modules, which are more like blog posts.

There are lots of different types of module available. EBay modules are available for sellers on that site. YouTube modules allow you to incorporate video into your lens, for cases where pictures and text don’t do the job. Your Squidoo modules are great for hosting reviews, testimonials, and articles about your product or service. You’ll have the opportunity to tell readers all about it and encourage them to want to find out more. Don’t give away everything, of course, since your lens works as a form of promotion. You want readers to click through to your main site, instead.

Squidoo can also be used to drive traffic to a primary blog, using an RSS feed module. Just load your blog’s RSS feed into the lens, and it’ll update automatically when you do.

As you can see, Squidoo has so much to offer. They are also very helpful with tips about how to choose good keywords to get good traffic. The lens can rank high on Google, so you can build backlinks to your primary website if you wish.

Squidoo may be free to use, but you can earn money with it. The site makes its money using affiliate advertising like Ebay, Adsense, and others. They track the earnings that come from each module, and give you half the profits. There’s even an option set up through Squidoo to donate that money to charity.

Squidoo users like to make use of this site to get important information out there, and to let readers know about important thing. They can share information and experiences, as well as using Squidoo as an excellent online advertising marketing strategy. If you’re not familiar with Squidoo yet, it’s time to search for a site, and then have fun exploring.
