Squidoo.com – Is it worth it?

// June 27th, 2008 // Internet Marketing, Sites

I have heard about Squidoo for some time now but never really used it. Two days ago I decided to give it a try. I made three lenses with on three different topics with content from this site. I published them and now I want to see if they earn any money or, at least, give me some traffic to this blog.

The content isn’t very much but it is very well written. actually it is an article from this blog. Actually three articles because I build three lenses. A lense is actually a squidoo page made by you. You have many widgets that you can easy add on your page, modify the content and everything. You can also choose to receive money from these pages or give the earnings to charitty…or both. I did non build the pages for money (I did not knew before registering that I can chose to receive money from the ads desplayed). I build those pages because I wanted to see if they can bring me more traffic to my blog. the pages I have are:

http://www.squidoo.com/design-programming

http://www.squidoo.com/proxy-money

http://www.squidoo.com/touch-screen-phones

As you can clearly see the content is the same as a post or two from this blog. I have also added the RSS feed from this blog in hope of users reading my blog after reading those lenses. Also every text content has a link back to this blog. Makeing the page was easy with the tools they gave so anyone an start there very own page now.

I will monitor these pages for a week (at least) and give you any info over them. Also, I wanted to see other users oppinion on this topic so I made a quick pool. If you have experience with Squidoo please take this very quick survey. It will help all of us in understanding Squidoo more. I will run this pool for about a week and post the results after that.

So, please take a look at the lenses I have built, post here any tips that you have and please, take the survey from here: Squidoo Pool
