squidoo and hubs

12 years ago

1- Yes, both Squidoo and Hubpages are ranking and passing link juice quite nicely these days, so they still have SEO value.

2- I'd use different accounts just in case they get shot down (so you don't lose all hubs/lenses at once).

3- I normally don't wait to put my links. As long as the content is decent, I don't think links to your page will be a problem.

Thanks

i have three seo questions:

1. are they still valuable for seo?

2. for seo, should i open them all under my account or each hub/lens from another account?

3. should i put a link to my money site on day one or let the hubs/lenses mature and only then add the link?
and if so, how long would you wait?

thanks

1. Yes

2. Different accounts with maybe the exception of hubpages because without a certain author rank your links will be nofollow (it's worth getting dofollow for this one in spite of the value of nofollow links)

3. I never wait, links right off the bat

Thanks

I agree with this. Hubpages and Squidoo are still good sites to create backlinks unlike article directories that have lost their value before. Well if you have good content you can include your links right away. Just don't put too many links though.

Good luck!

So what you all are suggesting is using squidoo as a buffer site or as the money site?

I would never use it as a money site myself, it can be taken down or deleted and you have no say.

As a buffer site tho yes they still work and rank well and pass link juice and I HIGHLY recommend it for serp improvements.

I second that. I have ignored Squidoo recently to my detriment but Squidoo lenses I created before are still going strong which reminds me...
