What are you thoughts on this matter? Which one do you prefer? Personally I have been using Squidoo and think it is great but recently i have been using Hubpages. Not sure which i prefer better yet Tell us What you think
I've been using Squidoo with good success. Haven't used HubPages yet so I can't make a comparison. However, I believe using both would deliver a bigger bang. Hermas
i'm a newbie in this business but i believe squidoo is more popular with search engines-from what i have read, hubpages is not bad either.
Is it only me? Most of the time my hubpages out rank my squidoo lenses. I am talking long term here. Short term, squidoo lenses rank quickly.
I am frustrated with Hubpages at the moment I keep loosing work that i add to the hubs for some reason it logs me out and when i click save changes its all gone ahhhhhhhhh.
Never happened to me, maybe because I don't save my work. I go straight for "publish" or "done editing".
yahia: Never happened to me, maybe because I don't save my work. I go straight for "publish" or "done editing". lol - that's me! Just write and get it out there. I DID have it hapen at ezinearticles yesterday though ans I was so frustrated! I had a really great article and lost it when I went to submit, but thankfully I had most of it on another page so I could write the second one more quickly.... it's all part of the 'job' ..
I use both Hub Pages and Squidoo to create mini sites. I think that squidoo does a little better in the search engines but that point can be argued. I have seen a lot of instances were Hub Pages will beat out squidoo in the rankings. Overall In my opinion it squidoo monetizes much better.
Hubpages is new to me. I've never used it -or even heard of it until I stumbled upon this thread. I'll have to check into it for sure.
How are you using these sites? Are you using them as a landing page for promotion? Are you using them as backlinks for your own site? If this is the case I would suggest you use both, write your article on squidoo, then rewrite it on hubpages and now you have 2 backlinks pointing to your site. But to answer your question. I always get better results with squidoo and I find the interface easier to work with. Mike
I utilize both, but if I had to choose one based on looks and options, Squidoo gets my vote hands down. I really only use these sites as part of a "linkwheel" method. It just helps for my backlinks overall. I've used them for landing pages in the past, but it's usually best to just go with your own domain name and a wordpress blog for a lander.
Definitely...Hub-pages. Most of People suggesting squidoo lens.I felt it is create a hub is more easy in compare of squidoo. And hubpages page rank is bit small than squidoo but it is easy to promote your page on Hubpage. squidoo is diffucult and hard to bring visitors to the post.
I find Squidoo more user friendly for the technically challenged like myself or maybe it's just more familiar to me.
Both are good it is a matter of preference it would be wise to go ahead and create a few lenses and hubs to get a feel for which one is best for you. Also check out the Warrior forum since many internet marketers use these platforms to market their products you will find a lot of solid info.
Hub pages actually has a better Alexa ranking than Squidoo does at the moment. I have been doing some split testing and my Hub pages are ranking slightly better than equivalent Squidoo pages. I am thinking of running a couple of OWM campaigns through Hubs in the next few weeks to see what kind of overall response I get. I have been using Hub Pages mainly for backlinks, but actually started to get some good feedback and a couple of sales coming from Hub Page Hubs. We'll see......
mbasa: i'm a newbie in this business but i believe squidoo is more popular with search engines-from what i have read, hubpages is not bad either. I withdraw my statement. My hubpages are more progressive than my squidoo lenses.

Psssst: Note Pad or Word Pad , I've had too many similar situations. Write the aricle in word pad or note pad and copy over when your done. If it doesn't go through, you still have the article. Conversely you can copy from the HUB Page interface and save to word pad or note pad until you know it's gone through. For me it's easy as I always have a note pad open, if for nothing else to jot down my daily notes and million dollar ideas.

But they are both still great ways to market. Why not use both?
