Just wondering about something. Right now I have a few informational websites up and running and am thinking about hopping into IM. I was checking out someone's lens and they were doing affiliate marketing. I was thinking about doing affiliate marketing using lens on Squidoo as well. Just wondering if it's worth it and if there is any advice anyone would give me if I do use affiliate marketing utilizing lens.
My personal experience says Squido is useless and I do not submitt artices to Squido any more. Hubpage,ezinearticles,articlebase etc give you page views.
Squidoo gets high rank authority (albeit not as high as it used to) from Google and is great for linking to your main site. If you have a target keyword and relatively low comp, it is very easy to get a Squidoo lens ranked in Google with a few quality back links. I have some niches where my lens outranks my site in Google SERP's and helps drive traffic to it.
