I've recently made the decision to work hard on IM and start making cash with this online/affiliate business Results have started to come in mainly from PPC but now I want to diversify and boost my earnings. So my question would be about Squidoo and Hubpages... Say you have 50 articles for a certain product and you send them and get them approved into ezine gradually.. How would you re-use these articles for squidoo and hubpages? would you create 50 lenses/pages for each article that you created? I've also been wondering if it would be a good idea to interlink my lenses and hubpages... is this allowed? thanks.
I would choose Squidoo or Hubpages, I wouldn't concentrate on both, because it would too difficult and actually unnecessary. Go for Squidoo. Let's say you have an article on Ezine where you talk about some tips on how to make money online. If you want to use Squidoo, then what you should do is a put a link in resource box forwarding to your Squidoo lens where you would put a review of some make-money-online product. That's how it works. Ezine (tips and tricks) > Squidoo (product review) > Publisher's website I hope you get the idea.
Yes, that's right. I think one product review is enough. Then just write multiple articles with tips and tricks, and forward them to your review page. 1 Squidoo lens = 1 product review
I would do this - buy my own domain name and put 15 articles and 5 product reviews - submit 15 of the articles to ezine articles linking to different pages on my site - use 5 article to create 5 hubs and link to my site and ezine articles (because hubpages wants you to link to more than one website) - use 5 articles to create 5 squidoo lenses and link to your own website - try to mass submit 5 articles with isnare or any software and link back to your own site - Any article left you can submit it to places like zimbio and weebly and link back to your site. - Of course submit your lens, hubs and your website to social bookmarking sites for backlinks Have a good day
What Blackman said above is no rule in any way... I'd take that it's just how he does it lol. I don't. And don't focus only on Squidoo... sometimes it works better in the SEs, sometimes Hubpages do. What I would suggest you to do is what Alex Goad covers inside his free Link Fire report which you can download at http://playerswithmoney.com. It's awesome, after that, few people are in a position to mess with you in the search engines. A tip though: Hit your "money page" with a medium batch of links at once, then continue feeding it over time. The secret to staying on top in Google is constant backlinks. Also, feel free to download my free report about bum marketing and how it incorporates Squidoo and all of the other hub sites. It's in my sig, or here: http://lemonarian.com/DefinitionOfABum/ That's the reason you should not only focus on Squidoo and not HubPages, because every page you can put a link on is valuable. Every link from any of these places pointing to your landing page = link juice = higher search engine rankings. Linus
lemonarian Well, I didn't say anything about building backlinks If you want to do it, then of course, Hubpages and other article directories would be useful.
Why would you NOT want to do it? If you want to stay on top in the SERPs for your main keyword, then you need every link you can get. Also, on Squidoo for example, you don't have to make it a product review or whatever, it can be anything.
lemonarian It was just an example. You can do it other way round, or any way you like it. Ok, you HAVE TO build backlinks. Are you happier now? Seems that something or someone pissed you off today
That is pretty much my process as well great minds think alike, or something.. Be careful how much product promotion you do on Hubpages. I had a bunch flagged a few weeks back for been 'Overly Promotional'
Wow, it's funny how you can come across sometimes on the web... Pissed off? Haha, no way man... Look, I'll even use a smilie --> Just saying what's on my mind mate, in fact I'm happier than usual because an article I wrote 3 days ago has got me 3 sales since it got approved, which was 2 days ago. Yep, that averages out to more than 1 sale a day so if this keeps up then that'd be awesome...
I use both. Linking from Squidoo to HubPages is fine, but you can get penalized for linking from HubPages to the same domain too often. Learn one and then once you've got the hang of it, try the other. I wrote this article on Hubpages vs Squidoo. It outlines the differences and points out what's the same.
Awesome - thanks for sharing. On an unrelated note, Hubpages' usage of Kontera reminds me of why I really hate Kontera. When Reprobate mentions a Squidoo lens, Kontera links to contact lens ads.
They've just started with the Kontera ads. It seems that the context of the content in its entirety is ignored and only keywords, usually misinterpreted, are picked up and used.
Just a note: Once you have your squidoo lenses made and your hubpages... Leave... Don't get caught up in rankings and things like that... it takes away from other things you should be doing. Set it and forget it when it comes to these accounts in squidoo and hubpages....ALSO.... Have your link the very first thing people see on your page! The rest is just filler. If you put your links any further down the page you lose from the google links on the side of squidoo pages. Keep them at the top and keep them noticeable. We (squidoo makers) lose millions to google ads on squidoo. and I mean MILLIONS! So right from the get go place your ads immediately up on the very top... Also make your very first picture linkable as well hopefully this helps you Squidoo is a good back link and nothing more... sorry die hard squidoo fans.
I think this is to say if you dont have your own landing page, otherwise it would be squidoo or ezine>Your landing page>Buy page
