Thread: Do follow sites like Squidoo and Hubpages

I recently joined hubpages and created my first hub a few minutes ago. The 2 links I added were nofollow. The profile page though seems to be dofollow for links.

The hub will remain nofollow until your profile score is 75.

As Will told you already, profile score needs to be minimum 75. You can take these steps to increase the score -

Post 3-4 Hubs at a gap of 3-4 days.
Comment on others' good hubs
Be their fan if you found them great to be with
Join Hubpages forums and join one or two discussions everyday.

Your score should be 75 within a week or so.

Here's a critical tip I learned recently about both Squidoo and HubPages.

You can promote your lenses and hubs by adding popular tags to them, which will get them listed on tag pages and will pull PageRank to them.

You can find popular tag pages on both systems by using the Google site: operator:

HubPages
site:hubpages.com "hot hubs"

Squidoo
site:www.squidoo.com "Squidoo : Tags"

To find relevant tag pages, just add your keywords to those searches.

Tag-bombing Squidoo is just super popular

It's probably smarter to just use Squidoo purely like any other article marketing site; Squidoo Lenses used to be super powerful before, but they're just weaning in value currently.

In my opinion, it's better stragety to focus on a quality over quantity approach rather than blasting articles out. A couple accounts on article marketing sites can be more effective to drive traffic to your site than a lower quality strategy.

That sound like a lot of work but certainly more effective than blasting articles.

I agree with you, squidoo links seems to be loosing their value due to excessive abuse on its platform.

Squidoo has already banned most of the abused niches like Forex, diet pills, weight loss, SEO, loans.. They have started regaining their value recently.

I like to use YoStuff.com a lot. It is very easy to use and you can earn a nice amount of money.
