Squidoo: my experience
I have published a sort of Squidoo review in the past. The website is considered to be an authority. And it is highly recommended to post lenses to get links and traffic from that resource.
So, a month and a half ago I registered an account with Squidoo and created a test lens.
What I expected from Squidoo? I am not sure. What do you expect from an authority website in your field?
a. Links. But I did not get any Google indexed links to this website from Squidoo. Probably, there was no Google backlink update yet (hopefully, the link will surface).
b. Traffic. I have received one visitor in 45 days. Not much.
c. Earnings. I was aware that there would be no much income generated. Here is the result of my post advertising revenues:
WOWEEEE! It’s paytime, friend. So here’s the scoop on your Squidoo earnings from 09/01/2006 to 09/30/2006.
YOUR ROYALTIES (09/01/2006 to 09/30/2006)
Your previous balance + new Refer-A-Friend bonuses = $0.00
Your new lens earnings this period = $0.20
Total earnings = $0.20!So, here’s how you’re spending your $0.20…
$0.20 has been donated in your name to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Yes, the stats are for September only, but the amount is ridiculous.
Summary: Probably, it is too short period to expect anything from these modest attempts to market one’s website through Squidoo, but the results are discouraging. No traffic, no links, nothing.
With these results, I see no point to spend my time with Squidoo. Does anyone can share a better experience?
