Why I Miss Squidoo for Affiliate Marketing

I think many of us who used to write from the year 2008 to 2012, miss squidoo for many reasons. I think that site was responsible for feeding many families with extra income. And it has managed to change the life of the people who wanted to do affiliate marketing. And that’s one reason many affiliate marketing people like myself miss the site. I think that was the only site in the revenue sharing world which used to allow the affiliate links from others. And they didn’t mind posting links on their property. This is very strange considering how many sites that don’t allow this these days. And though squidoo got penalized by the google, I still think that squidoo was one of the good website that was out there. And I used to usee the following techniques for the affiliate marketing.

Zazzle

Most of the article writers used to try the zazzle for the marketing from squidoo. I know there used to be many writers who manually used the zazzle artwork on the site. And the amount of efforts required here were minimal. For example, zazzle was a good site showing you plenty of good products and it tempted many people to buy stuff. And that’s the best part about the squidoo. It used to have sales with less efforts. And just maintaining one lens alone could make it easier for many people to make some sales here and there. And that sort of thing is harder to come by these days.

Amazon and Ebay

The site used to share the revenue earned from amazon and ebay. Also there used to be people using their own links. This made it very good for the site to earn in time. I have seen people using such tricks. But these days it never works on any other site. It just wastes your time and money. I hope in future they find some ways to manage the amazon and ebay networks on sites like this.

But squidoo is dead now. And there is no way you can have affiliate marketing the same way anymore.

    • I miss Squidoo so bad, I feel like I've been betrayed. There was nothing wrong with that site! It was one of the best sites for affiliate marketers. Then Seth Godin gave it up. It has never been replaced. Though HUBPages, the site that acquired Squidoo, is really trying. Frankly, I wish they would have left Squidoo the way it was and simply switched owners. If something's not broke, why fix it?? Anyway ... in the end it was probably just about money. No doubt the Squidoo management was offered a sweet dollar for the site. Bye bye Squidoo!
