Why not use both? They are both free!

Just don't spam them, write good content to post.

Both Squidoo and Hubpages are Web 2.0 platforms, and both of them are very similar in nature, but yet very different in their own ways.than i have use both .

Both Hubpages and Squidoo are good but I think hub pages are something better than squidoo..

Been experimenting with Hubpages over the last couple of weeks. Combining hubpages with unique article wizard is incredible. Got 4 test hubs on page 1 in a matter of a few days once UAW kicked in for some competitive terms. Traffic to one hub to day has been 500 visitors. Pusblished the hub on the 3rd May and its been climbing ever since.

The product im targeting is a game due to be released tomorrow.

Here`s what i have been doing.

1) Have a 1000 word article and a 500 word article written on iwriter
2) Go to fiverr and get the 500 word article rewritten twice
3) put 1000 word article on hubpages and add videos and amazon stuff
4) submit the 3 500 word articles to UAW and wait 24hrs for approval.
5) Thats it.

Working really well for me. :-)

Why not Blogger if you're going the free route? Seems to rank just as well as Squidoo & Hubpages without the headaches.

I Prefer Squidoo!

Squidoo and Hubpages are authority sites. Its always best to have a presence on these kind of sites.

How does this actually work and help in gaining traffic...

hubpages, squidoo is web 2.0 implemented the site .its is good feature web 2.0

Both are very effective and fruitful but policies is very tough and hard because if someone stole your content from you hubpages and lens then you need to revise your content.

I have worked on Squidoo. I think Squidoo is much better then Hub Pages.

Successful backlinking means getting as many unique Class C IPs to link to your website as possible. Use both.

I also suggest putting very well-written and high quality content on both, because you could also earn residual traffic from those sites. Putting up spun or poorly written garbage will negate any positive impact you could have gained there. Save the poorly written crap for the article directories...

What is your objective of using them? Gaining traffic for your money site(s)? Backlinks? Or try to rank your lens/hubs and make money out of it?

As for me, I use them to get traffic and quality backlinks. I made a lot more squidoo lenses than hubs, just because it's easier for a lens to go live. But, I've never done any test to check which one is more effective to boost my rank.

I prefer HubPages over Squidoo. My Amazon product review hubs rank very well and convert very well. I specifically like the ability to use hub templates by copying existing hubs. I know Squidoo offers similar functionality to Giant Squid but I don't use Squidoo enough so I haven't reached that level yet.

The one thing that really sets HubPages apart from Squidoo, for me at least, is the lack of distractions. I just think Squidoo has too much going on. Hubs are just cleaner and allow me to steer people to my affiliate links.

take time to used both and you will benefit from both. youll get traffic from both their communities and the serps

For me hubpages is better

I've never been a huge fan of Hubpages strictly because I think the layouts are bland. I can get more creative and develop a lens on Squidoo that's a lot more engaging. Now, if you're just using either platform for backlinks, then the visual aesthetics is a non-issue. I build money pages on Squidoo, and I think the tagging options with Squidoo is a lot more fundamentality beneficial from an SEO perspective to get a ton of internal links and PR flowing your way.

Both are good and I dont see many difference between them.

I've been experimenting with Squidoo for backlinks simply because it's much easier to get dofollow links. IIRC hubpages require you to reach and maintain a certain level of engagement for the links in your hub to stay dofollow.

My squidoo lens is now live and complete and has the required 20 likes. Traffic is nothing.

thanks , good to know about this while doing my part

I see Squidoo and/or Hubpages work well for getting backlinks..high PR onesand some residual traffic as well. But what about yahooanswers (sorry if this question is out of context on this forum, but just wanted to know)?

Squidoo....is the best

I'm making good money from Squidoo. I have a few hubs but somehow never got it going. Just don't like it as much.

Of course if you're looking at the two platforms, however, as a means to backlink to your own sites, both are equally good.

Btw just wanted to point out that there is NO required min. of 20 likes. You can safely ignore that 100% completion for a lens, it's a totally useless metric.

I am slowly getting to know about squidoo and hubpages and their potential. Are they good sources to make a part-time living? Do we need to be really active to make a part-time living from these?

i like hubpages most, although i haven't earn any money with these two websites.

the reason i choose hubpages is that it's convenient for me to get a free google adsense account when i post some hubs .

They are not good from back linking perspective as links are generally no-follow. It is a lot of work in Squidoo to get do follow links.

I love Hubpages due to the good community that it possess and also the traffic they bring to my site.

Nowadays, you can benefit from Hubpages more than Squidoo. I said this out of my experience. I have been a Squidoo person for a long time, the game has changed and now hubs give better weight on link than Squidoo.

Bottom Line: write quality content and these two high pr websites can help you

For me squidoo is better due to new algorithm on big G...squidoo got it most...^_^

Both are good and free websites your get the good referral traffic from these sites. so use both

Hubpages is the Best.. I am really fed up with Squidoo lens.. I really gave up my hope in making it possible. Got everything last time and got rejected.

Squidoo & HubPages both are web 2.0 sites. Both of the sites are good in term of generating quality traffic as well as authority backlinks, if good quality content is used.

I love Squidoo compare to Hub-pages. There are lots of lenses on almost every category/area which you need. It is kind of another search engine for me, to explore more things. Next major reason for my favor towards Squidoo lens is, It is possible to get rank quicker on Google for squidoo lens, compare to Hubpages, I would say, Squidoo is more SEO friendly even

Squidoo seems to be less effective lately than Hubpages. If I had to choose just one, Hubpages but you may as well do both because you never know what will work 6 months from now.
