Squidoo and Hubpages are both Web 2.0-type services which let you very quickly create a web page with a lot of interactive features. I’ve used both of them to some success to promote my sites and other people’s sites (as an affiliate). Squidoo and Hubpages call these pages “Lenses” and “Hubs” respectively (see the current article below).

One of the advantages of creating these special types of pages is that it’s possible to rapidly get your Lens or Hub indexed on the search engines (Google in particular), and they can often rank quite high on the SE results pages - if you know how.

One important thing is, of course, to choose the right title for these pages, making sure than it includes the right keywords than you want to turn up in the search engines. But I’ve still only had limited success.

Yesterday I picked up a cheap report (5 bucks) which gave a very interesting angle on creating effective Lenses and Hubs. It’s certainly is something I’d not considered before. I’ll quote from the sales page for the report:

• Step One: Create a Hubpage or Squidoo Lens.
• Step Two: Do this trick.
• Step Three: Start Getting Traffic Instantly!

Unlike some cheap reports I’ve read recently, this 10-pager is concise and fluff-free! And the “trick” is certainly something I’m going to play around with this weekend. You can pick it up from here:

Incidentally, this is one of those “100% instant commission” jobs, so you’ll be paying me the five bucks. If you don’t like the report I will, of course, refund you. But I think you’ll like it
