Just wanted to say hi and complement you on this blog.

I’m not a very experienced blogger, yet, but working on it.

This blog is a good help

I have a few lenses up, and all point to my blogs. I do have one lens that has a link to a clickbank product. I have always felt that I want everything I do to point to my blog first, then send them straight on to the aff. link.

At least then, I will have the links coming in to me, and not somewhere else… also, maybe google likes me better when I get traffic coming to me from somewhere besides its search engine? Heck, I don’t know.lol

Great post nonetheless, and am going to check out the scanners you recommend above.

No doubt there will be many who will complain that the Squidoo slap like the famous Google slap is an unfair restriction on their profit making opportunites. Like most of your respondants I think Squidoo is doing a good thing.

Complaints would be rather like muggers and shoplifters moaning about the security provisions at the local market.

I always believed that one should use Squidoo as a medium to achieving a few links from a high PR site, not as a full-blown business site. I know some people have used it for this purpose and they therefore should not be surprised when their business is closed down.

Besides which, one should not have all their eggs in one basket. Squidoo should be a part of your overall promotion strategies, not the only one.

Great post. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,

Barry

Squidoo is one of the best places to be to get ranked on google, but you have to have a good lens. I now use my own blog/blogs and though they do take longer to get ranked, they are MINE. nough said.

I just Don’t like if somebody is restricting my (anybody’s) freedom of speech/expression. Originally coming from the communist regime I do have a Deep aversion to any of the Big Brother techniques which are being implemented more and more here – on the last (at least relatively) freedom frontier

If you Don’t like it – Don’t read it!

I don’t see a reason Why should I buy and build a new website for every idea I would like to get opinion of other peoples, or just share my experience. And Squidoo was perfect for this. So it was good for research to find out what worked for other people. And if they had a good experience with some product/service Why for Emino’s sake I would be upset if they sent me there through some affiliate link. I didn’t have to pay more, and I Don’t mind if somebody else got some extra money for a good tip/saving me time. I am not affected by the illness called “jealousy of more successful people”

And I find it Extremely Ironic that at the same New Rules page they are talking about not allowing to promote many/most Health products they have a Huge Banner ad for some stupid Beauty or Anti-aging product.
