No, I personally do not like squid, perhaps to use for fishing, but Squidoo I do like! What is it?
Well, it is sort of a personal blog slash web site thingy, a place where you can place your authority information, life’s issues, products, and much more. If you are a professional in a trade, business, or just want to rant about something, create a Squidoo account and start several “lenses”. What is a lens? These are essentially individual web pages that you create on a variety of subjects, focus, and or products you want to advertise.
Honestly, It is kind of hard to tell you exactly every feature of this cool product, so below are two lenses I made for the my Internet marketing business. These lenses (pages) are still evolving, but you get the idea.
I would like to add that Squidoo is a phenomenal way to not only market yourself or your product, but it delivers incredible page rank, and visitors to sites that link to you, and your Squidoo page. In fact, notice what a recent article from Seo-News.com said about the possible SEO affects.
“One important facet of your Squidoo lens is that it could be listed on Google, or any of the other search engines, for your major keywords, and you should not lose sight of any promotional techniques that provide you with free exposure on search engines.”
I say give it a try, then ping all the social bookmarking sites (buttons appear right on the Squidoo page) You have nothing to lose, and TRAFFIC to gain!
Here are my Squidoo lenses:
Lens on Local search marketing
Lens on Perspective Internet Marketing

Warner,
Hey thanks for the response! Yes, I agree Squidoo is fun, but I think it will just take time for these pages to get “page rank”. I know that when I made my lenses, I pinged all the social bookmarking sites, Digg, Stumble, Technorati etc..and I experienced good traffic for a day. The beauty of this is long term. Sit back and see what happens a few months from now. Some pages in Squidoo have 4,5 and PR’s of 6?
Keep me posted Warner!
