It's like writing an article listing the top five items, and then having a resource box with a link to another five or ten items on the topic. Right? (Not that I know about article marketing - it's something I've sadly neglected to do, but I can see how Squidoo and EzineArticles.com could be complementary sources of traffic.) Act on your dream!

That’s a great idea of providing partial information on a lens with a link to your blog or site for the rest of the information.

Right?

Was away from my desk a few days thus am late for all the discussion. @Ajith: I think John's detail reply had all your doubts cleared thus I'm not gonna go in length here. In short, yes, Squidoo helps driving traffics - regardless you are running a blog or website. @Lee: There are in fact, lots of web marketers using the method you mentioned - creating loads of short/simple Squidoo lens (and most of these lenses don't provide real value to the users). In case you're aiming the Google PR then yeah, such 'hit-and-run' method would help. However if you are trying to earn traffics from Squidoo, your lens have to be providing real value and preferably 'fresh'. I would suggest to separate your subject into 5 - 10 lenses. Offer real valuable content - people are reading for real in Squidoo (after all, if you have a site on that subject, I'm sure you have plenty of understandings on it). Also, use Squidoo module 'Big Picture', 'Poll', 'Big Arrow'... wisely to make your lenses appealing. On the other hand, contradictory, the key of attracting traffics from Squidoo is NOT to throw out all the information to your users. Say that you're running a lens on 'How to lose 10kgs in 10 days' - your Squidoo lens might cover the things to be done in the first 5 days; and ask readers to 'read more' at your website for the next 5 days. In this case, Squidoo lens is like your PR staff, it helps you connect and build trust with your readers, and lead them read further at your website. I hope my answer helps. <abbr><em>Jerry @ Web Hosting Secret Revealed´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.com/web-hosting-knowledge/how-to-retain-the-search-engine-position-of-a-blog-if-its-moved-to-another-domain/">How to retain search ranking when moving your blog?</a></abbr></em> Guys, thanks for all the comments and good words.

I have to admit, goofy as this might sound, that I stayed away mainly because of the name. It just had this sound I didn't like, so I never took it seriously. Judged the book by the sound; shame. lol To Marelisa and Kristi, I’ll have to find the time to explore Squidoo.
