There are only so many hours in the day... and you can't go do all of these new sites... i am narrowed down to Squidoo and Twitter I want to try to generate some traffic - can someone give advice as to which one generates better traffic... and why? justify your answer for me to believe you! Muchas Gracias folks!
and i mean explicity from a Link development point of view... 1. traffic quality of links 2. ease of getting traffic (ie how much work you have to do) 3. search value of links as back links
I really like using squidoo, but I haven't tried twitter. If you're unsure of which one to try, you should probably try both. Spend a little bit of time on each site and see which ones produce the best results for you. What may work for one person/niche may not work as well for another.
Twitter is nofollow, but squidoo is dofollow so twitter won't help with your search engine rankings, but is good for traffic. They are both completely different. One is a micro blogging system, and the other is not. I use twitter a little, but don't know much about squidoo.
they are 2 different thing. depends on what yo are trying to do. if you look for traffic, link juice, and PR juice to your site, then squidoo is the way to go. you can promote squidoo lens not only to search engines, you can promote it within squidoo network as well which most people overlook. squidoo network itself is a good source of traffic
This is quite literally comparing apples and oranges, they are both fruit but that doesn't mean you can compare their attributes. Anyway, I just wrote a post on Squidoo Sunday if you are interested in it's attributes: http://www.fourthfloormarketing.com/2008/09/21/using-squidoo-to-build-links-and-make-money-online/
I have made two Squidoo lens a few months ago, but they haven't been indexed by Google. How do you promote your squidoo page please?
well my squidoo is quite good! i get em indexed and it rocks! besides do squidoo with twitter it shall be sweet!!
I havent used twitter so I cant compare. I did though squidoo. Its easy to create a lens, good ranking, good traffic. You gotta be persistent though
Thanks that is helpful to know... I did get the sense that Twitter was probably stronger from a traffic point of view... Does anyone know how you build up a following on Squidoo? On Twitter seems to be about getting fans or followers...
