Squidoo is a fairly new site that allows you to make money by promoting your website and affiliate links. Its similar to a social networking site in that you can network with other people trying to sell their product and make money online. However, its not like Myspace or Facebook. Squidoo is comprised mainly of articles and is more focused around business and sales.
When you sign up for Squidoo you are asked to create your first lens. A lens is basically a single web page. On the page you can add certain features which are called modules. A module can range from a piece of text to a guest book. They also have E-bay and Amazon.com modules which allow you to promote your products and affiliate links.
The biggest appeal of Squidoo is that the web pages are easily indexed by Google and have been known to get a high page rank over time. This can be something to think about if you're looking for a new way to promote your blog or website. It can also be used to easily sell your products and get refferals.
You can make money with any niche on Squidoo. Take this lens Dating Tips For A Man for example. This article is entertaining and has a lot of good advice. It also has many Amazon affiliate links which blend into the layout. The writer has categorized the Amazon books based on the type of advice you are looking for. The first Amazon module is "Great Stuff on Amazon," then there are books to "Learn to tell if she's lying," and "If you want her back you may have to learn forgiveness," etc. This is a clever way to promote your links without having a hard-driving sales pitch.
One of the easiest ways to gain popularity on Squidoo is to pick keywords that aren't too competitive. You need to find phrases that have high demand and low supply. To find the demand for a keyword phrase you can go to wordtracker.com and use their keyword tools. This will help you get organic traffic through Google search results and give your lens a better ranking.
If you are interested in internet marketing, and don't want to pay for advertising, you should check out Squidoo.

Nice post. I think lenses are a fantastic tool to getting the word out about our products.
I am worried about the Google Slap to Squidoo back in July, but I still think that Squidoo is a valuable tool in the Internet Marketers arsenal.
I'm totally addicted to Squidoo and if you don't mind, I'd like to pimp the Squidoo Package: Ultimate Squidoo.
Thanks and good luck to us all!
