I am using Squidoo and hubpages. Squidoo is great but hupages it too cumbersome so I want recommendations for something like squidoo to replace hubpages
Squidoo and Hubpages, both are good and authority Web2.0 sites. While with Squidoo you can add a dofollow link, hubpages have different strategy on Do follow links (Links will be Dofollow only if Hub Score will be greater than 75).
Hubpages is great for commenting. I use name/url method to comment on the different hubs in order to get backlinks.
I agree that hubpages can be a bit of a pain sometimes with their rules... but I do find sometimes my hubpages seem to rank easier than my squidoos.
Hubpages are great. To a certain extend squidoo also good. But my favorites are xomba, vox and tumblr.
If u use any of them. It will boost your search engine rank since these 2 are the most web 2.0 being used today and has high rank.
Even Squidoo sucks some times My squidoo lens was terminated immediately after I changed my payment option from charity to my paypal. The lens was live for 1 year and donated great amount to charity. Now just after turning that to my paypal, they closed my lens. Basically we can try them, however they can terminate any time
I use web 2.0 authority sites simply for building backlinks, but they're pretty much useless unless you build backlinks to them as well..
I totally agree with hubpages being a bit cumbersome - they only allow 2 external links (I think) and all the content has to be 100% unique, not to mention that you have to have a "score" above 75 before they giev you DOfollow links - all reasons not to use them. You definitely can't do as much with hubpages as you can with squidoo (I love squidoo , but here is a bigger list of web2.0 sites I put together for our affiliates recently: Squidoo: Squidoo : Welcome to Squidoo - Our recommendation - a simple article based system yet quite profound in the different things you can do.
