Online Advertising Marketing Highlighting Squidoo To Boost Sales

by Trisha Frauenhofer

Have you heard of Squidoo? Chances are, if you have done any searching on the Internet lately, you have run across a Squidoo site on the first page of your favorite search engine. However, if you don’t really know what it is, you are missing out on a great online advertising marketing method.

Many of us have websites and blogs, and it’s sometimes hard to drive traffic to them. If you want a great way of getting free traffic, one of the fastest, simplest ways is by using Squidoo. This free, easy site can be a lot of fun to use. You can set up your site in under fifteen minutes, and you don’t need any hosting for photos or videos. Everything is already done for you. Affiliate marketers can easily use Squidoo to help them market product they promote. You can look at Squidoo like a MySpace account, blog, and mini website all rolled into one.

The site you make in Squidoo is called a lens, and this is what you’re most likely to run across while searching online. These are the sites that are used to promote products and distribute information. A lens is made up of modules, which are like posts to a blog.

There are lots of different types of module available. EBay modules are available for sellers on that site. YouTube modules allow you to incorporate video into your lens, for cases where pictures and text don’t do the job. Your Squidoo modules are great for hosting reviews, testimonials, and articles about your product or service. You’ll have the opportunity to tell readers all about it and encourage them to want to find out more. Don’t give away everything, of course, since your lens works as a form of promotion. You want readers to click through to your main site, instead.

By using an RSS feed module, you can bring traffic to your primary blog. Just load in your site’s RSS feed and your lens will update automatically.

As you can see, Squidoo has so much to offer. They are also very helpful with tips about how to choose good keywords to get good traffic. The lens can rank high on Google, so you can build backlinks to your primary website if you wish.

One great benefit of Squidoo is that while it’s free, you can still earn some money from it. Since the site earns its money by using affiliate advertising (Ebay, AdSense, and more), they track earnings from each module. You get half the profits, and can do whatever you want with it, including use the automatic charity donation system set up through Squidoo.

Many Squidoo users simply like to use it to get pertinent information out. They simply want to let other readers know about something that they feel is important and they can share about their experiences using this method of online advertising marketing. If you haven’t done so, start searching the net for Squidoo sites, and then visit Squidoo and have fun.
