Squidoo and Amazon - does it really work?

I recently tried squidoo with amazon ads but its been 2 monhts and i dont see any good results, do you guys use squidoo for promoting amazon ads??

 

i think you should use some seo strategy so buyer can find your page on squido easily

 

Have you been building high quality backlinks to the Squidoo page?

 

Why would you promote squidoo lenses when you could promote your own site which you own?

 

Some people on Warrior Forum make good money from Squidoo. You just need to need have high quality lens.

 

It's dangerous to put your business in the hands of others.

Squidoo, and other Web 2.0 sites are wonderful for fast testing, but if you can't afford hosting & domain name costs, perhaps a business isn't what you're trying to build.

 

it is not set and forget you need to build links to it as well

 

I have been thinking of using Suidoo to push traffic to my main website because of their high PR. That does not mean I can't put Amazon products on the Squidoo site as well.

 

It's just a heartbreaker to see someone spend a great deal of time building up a Web 2.0 empire, start making really good monthly income, then see it disappear because the site decides it doesn't like your affiliate sites. (or for any reason whatsoever that they come up with - after all, they own the site!)

As high PR backlinks, and for testing purposes, they are just great. Just don't use them for your entire business.

 

I definitely would not buIld my whole business around these sites. I would just add links back to my main site I want to rank for and if some affiliate links and Adsense happen to make me a little cash them that is OK by me. But you are right about the 2.0 sites being able to control you. That is why I will always have my own sites.

 

I have heard both good and bad things. I personally like having my own sites that I control.

 

u can achieve good results but you need to mater squidoo lens, how it works, get votes...work on them almost as another site...time, test and eventually conquest

 

Squidoo is good to drive traffic to your site. Do not put your business on others hands.

 

I heard squidoo will replace your affiliate link with theirs.

 

If I may argue, I had previously not been promoting my site using squido amazon, but yesterday I tried to promote my site with twitter amazon and the results, WOW, in the first month I was able to commission $ 200 ...

 

Could you be a little more specific? Thanks.

 

Watch out this squidoo lense I found yesterday:

http://www.squidoo.com/best-gaming-laptop-under-1000

First page for keyword

gaming laptops under under 1000

I am sure this converts.

 

I've used Squidoo in the past, but I much prefer to use my own website that I have control over. It's scary to have my site in the hands of another company that it could just be taken away in an instant.

 

I am only using my own blog with Amazon. It's a book blog. I still don't get any leads.

 

I've never had much luck with Squidoo
