Article Category: Internet

The owners of Squidoo claim it is the "World's Most Popular Site" and while that is obviously a big claim there is no doubt that it's one of the easiest sites for online novices to create a presence on the web and make make a nice second income while doing so. It is possible to have a really nice looking Squidoo Lens created within minutes and making money.

Unlike traditional websites, where information is passed from the webmaster to the visitor, Squidoo is more lively, encouraging the public or community members to provide exciting content for the site. Squidoo was established to help promote the creation of knowledge rich communities on the Web and to give more people some clout on line. Best of all it's a free service that actually pays you to participate.

Squidoo was launched in 2005 as a networking medium to allow individual users to create single web pages on subjects they are passionate about, interested in or have professional knowledge about. Of course, some experienced marketers saw a great opportunity to make money with minimal work on their part.

Squidoo users claim it is "The World's Most Popular Site" not just because of the number of users it has but because it allows anyone interested in building pages to reflect their passions, interests, books, videos or any other material for that matter, without much censorship. As long as the content is clean and not overtly offensive, illegal, or hateful, just about anything goes.

Many Squidoo publishers use the site to promote their organization, their charity, their favorite book, a book they wrote, promote a social cause and more. You will also find many others use Squidoo as an Internet Marketing vehicle to drive targeted visitors to their website or offers. Squidoo call these pages, "Lenses," which are single page sites on a topic a user is hoping to advertise.

All you need to do is post a simple promotional paragraph highlighting some passion or product and include a link to your web address for people to go and read more about it. This is where the Squidoo traffic generation magic really pays off.

Another great use for Squidoo is to get to know other people interested in the same subject as you. One of the primary driving forces behind Web 2.0 was to allow users who have a common interest to form online communities rather than just creating static web sites controlled by single webmasters where information is fed to viewers and there is no interaction. Squidoo provides a medium for that missing interaction to take place.

Yet another great use of Squidoo is for increasing your web visibility, and to gain credibility as an authority on a certain subject or information.

You see, you can build as many Squidoo lenses as you like. There is no known limit. Plus, most of the pages on Squidoo.com are easily picked up by Google and other top search engines, so Squidoo provides an excellent gateway for generating targeted traffic.

A very nice bonus is making autopilot money. A lens creator can earn commissions for their company or favorite charity because Squidoo offers a built-in system allowing shared compensation paid directly to owners of lens pages or to charities designated by lens owners. One can even designate a percentage to charity with the balance going into the user's bank account. Nice, eh?
