Squidoo - Is it effective?

Set one up, get some decent content on it. Its good for a few links at the minimum.

 

Google don't actually index squidoo pages as before.
Hubpages is a better place.

 

I think websites like Squidoo and hubpages are highly useful for getting links and creating pages around specific topics

 

Squidoo is a goldmine if you know how to create lenses. Google give more importance to the articles in squidoo then any other self hosted blog.

 

Yeah, right
