squidoo is really good and powerful, it is free and must be included in your marketing plan. My lenses have ranked well in google.. squidoo,hubpages,ezine-- they give good backlinks
I love hubpages, but I think squidoo ranks better. Just make sure the content on it has a high keyword density, relevant title and that you tag your site with good keywords. Also, to make it pleasing to the viewer, throw in some vids or pics.
I'm curious, do the search engines rank squidoo and hubpages sites well?
Basically, you can get any page on the Internet to rank well in search engines. If you focus on the getting back links, having quality articles with targeted keywords, and est.
Its a little tougher with hubpages, blogger, and squidoo because you have less control on the design and coding of the page. But the advantage is that their free.
How I see it. This is the formula for ranking good in search engines.
Back Links + Quality Content = High Ranking
xentech, its more of lack of experience with hubpages and squidoo but the reason I said, "little tougher" is because other authority sites are more hesitant to give links back (not saying they don't but just tougher). Personally, When someone request links to their hubpage, blogger, and squidoo, I normally turn them down. However I might be making a mistake on my part on turning these links down.
