    I'd go with Squidoo, unlike hubpages it actually has a noption to be used to sell stuff.

    Besides you have more flexibility and plugins to use. (for instance the feed plugin which gives you fresh content every day)

    I will also recommend Squidoo. Squidoo pages ranks higher in Google. Moreover Squidoo has many facilities (modules) that can be used to sell products. You can add affiliate links on Squidoo pages, while hubpages don't allow affiliate links.

    Google loves Squidoo and I would always go with Squidoo rather than Hubpages.

    After much research, it has been determined that Squidoo is the best web 2.0forum for marketing in the Internet

    I am currently learning how to create squidoo lens. It has taken me a while to figure out what to do to put a lens together.

    I have looked at hubpages and I will be learning how to use these in the future. However, is it true that you can earn more money with squidoo lens rather than hubpages? This will most probably be the deciding factor.

    Squidoo is the best for SEO but might take a lot more work. Personally I use both sites
    for my marketing purposes - and you should do the same.

    I would actually go with Hubpages, they are more strict, but from what I've seen they get you ranked better than Squidoo (the squidoo love seems to be gone) I did an apples to apples comparison when creating a bunch of slave pages...

    But Hubpages are very strict sometimes, which really sucks


    P.S: Wetpaint is pretty good too

    Within a few hours of each other I created 2 pages with virtually identical content, one on squidoo and one on hubpages.

    In the first 24 hours the squidoo lens received 1 visitor, and that was me when I was not logged in. In the same time period the hubpage received 38 visitors.

    In the five weeks since the squidoo page is still at 1 visitor, the hubpage has now received 112.

    Personally I am happier with hubpages and have created 6 more hubs, the squidoo page will probably be deleted soon to eliminate the duplicate content.

    well if you think abt traffic then ezine is good! but then again its not only abt traffic but also PR, backlinks etc. If you can do some backlinking to ezine, squidoo, hubs and other web2.0 then its definitely sweeet :D

    Hubpages get more insite traffic than squidoo. I recommend hubpages.
