    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

    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?

    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...
