If you could only choose ONE-Hubpages or Squidoo

I use squidoo and have not used hubpage yet. I am yet to see the advantage of squidoo to my website. I started using squidoo to improve the profile of my website nd business. Howeever as my squidoo page does not rank high I do not get much benefits form it as of yet. I do not see any justification in spending too muchh time to advrrtise or optimise my Squidoo pages as I would raher spend this time to market my website directly.

Hello Valerie,

I have not used Hubpages so I cannot speak to the good or the bad using that site. Squidoo I have used and find it to be friendly enough.

With just one promotion on Squidoo I have sold $1723.18 worth of product recently. And it continues quite nicely, despite having not updated the Lense in several weeks, since a few main keywords rank the Lense in the top 10 at Google.

For me Squidoo is truly a 'set it and forget it' marketing approach. This I like

Doug

I like Squidoo better because HubPages flags my hubs for no reason.

I now have to get "administrator approval" before a Hub is published...

That in itself...

sucks.

My choice: Squidoo by far...

Hope this helps...

hubpages v squidoo neither, there are other options which are better.

Maybe Bevvers, but Squidoo and Hubpages are free and easy and at least Squidoo can rank well with Google so they can be good.

JJP for squidoo you can arrange the modules however you like. So I'm not sure what you mean.

But squidoo is a lot more flexible while hubpages won't let you publish your hub if you have more than 2 links which makes no sense to me. They are so strict.

Valerie I was talking free. I was talking about other social marketing sites, where you can use links to products, where Google loves them, and you can be indexed in a couple of hours, and can get 1st page of Google the same day and it will stick for at least a few months by doing nothing more than say 10 mins work.

Neither. I would much rather spend my time on strategies that will actually make me money.

Only that when I have done people say boring, not interested etc, so guess what the answer is

I really, really dislike hubpages. I seriously feel they have a gulag atmosphere going over there. I don't think it's healthy. I said this elsewhere, it reminds of DMOZ. Remember when DMOZ opened back up and started that forum where we peons could beg to be included? Remember how the editors talked down to everyone who inquired about their site status, even while (allegedly) taking cash donations to get a site through, in some instances? Hubpages reminds me of that. The level of automated negativity even when you're simply building your lens, before you even publish it, is quite amazing. Messages about how your lens is in danger of being deleted because it doesn't have enough tags and stuff -- before you even publish it.

BTW, if you haven't tried squidoo in the last day or two, they are really upping their game in terms of making module-building easier. That makes me really happy and I'm glad they're committing to their, erm, lens masters like that. Hubpages has been much better in terms of the nuts & bolts of building a lens; it looks like Squidoo is working to catch up.

BTW, I couldn't stand hubpages, so I unfortunately can't compare them, but squidoo sends very profitable traffic. They are one of my best referrals. I really should spend much more time there.

Neither - I would choose - MyBlogLog.......

I use both but I tend to like HubPages more because there is a secret backdoor you can tap on when using HubPages to rank in Google instantly for multiple keywords.

This is the reason why I created the Ultimate Tag Ranker.

Squidoo is much more customizable giving you greater leeway to be creative.

Hubpages is probably a little more favored by Google in the SERPS.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but weebly is also good. Between Hubpages and Squidoo, it's Squidoo all the way.

Squidoo for certain over Hubpages.

Anyone used Terapad at all?

Squidoo - Hands Down! For all the reasons mentioned above plus...

I do a lot of in depth keyword research and I hardly ever see a hubpage in the top rankings.

Steve

Personally, I prefer Squidoo - it's more flexible than HubPages, with more module types. Plus, there are some great 3rd party tools and widgets that you can use with your lenses.

Squidoo is first choice. Hubpages is getting more and more aggressive now, deleting hubs daily. Hubs are also nofollow as long you stay under a certain point level. Squidoo wants marketers, Hubpages clearly not.

Gunter

I believe squidoo has higher pr, more traffic, more search engine ranking power and more ways to garner internal traffic from the community.

But hub pages are very good and whatever you post to squidoo you should post to hub pages also - with a little bit of a change.

Hope This Helps!!

TL

I prefer Hubpages. Hubpages doesn't publish adult content. The layout and design is easy to navigate and attractive.

My vote goes for squidoo...

In the right hands (read, mine ) it's a dangerous tool for SEO and promotion

Peace

Jay

I also think that Squidoo is better then Hubpages.

Hey Valerie!

You can create a list of your favorite modules so that they're on the page when you build a lens in that account. Here's how you do it:

Go into edit mode on a lens and click Browse All Modules.

Click the modules you like to use and on the right side, click the +Faves button.

Now once you do that, on the right it'll say New Faves to Add - with a list of the modules under it. Make sure each box IS checked and then click Update Faves.

From that point on, those modules will be listed on your lens module options whenever you build a new lens so all you have to do is click the plus sign
