How well do you think this would work? www.Squidoo.com allows you to build "lenses" for free about any topic you want. It is basically a web page of concentrated info about this one topic. Then if that isn't enough, they let you set up links, rss feeds, videos, amazon and ebay auctions, and more. If money is made from your lens you can opt to keep it or share it with a charity.
Now the point I am trying to get at is how well do you think something like this would effect some of your affiliate program sales if you produced lenses featuring those items?
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
John Guanzon

Not sure about Squidoo for affiliate products sales. I know a couple people including one of my clients Chris Sanderson, have affiliate marketing lenses. The ones I know of are designed more as informational lenses and to drive traffic back to the person's main site. Last I talked to Chris a LONG time ago about it, he said it had not been that great for traffic.
Does their TOS prohibit affiliate links? That's one thing to look into for sure.

I have several lenses that I use for affiliate promotions. There are no rules against it and in fact, Seth (Godin, the founder), welcomes you to create as many lenses as you want for marketing purposes.
I have an eBook for marketing on Squidoo, but I don't want to violate any tos here for posting a link, so if you want it, feel free to contact me here or at the Warrior Forum.
take care and good luck with it!

PS - You can also look me up on Squidoo and see how I'm doing some affiliate marketing.
I have seen your lenses and book! Looks great, I wish you the best of luck! Since this post and the launch of several lenses I must say that squidoo is a viable source of traffic and possible leads if you work it correctly. I believe Tiffany is the closest to making it a science.
Best Regards,
John Guanzon

thanks for welcoming me in. I have been kind of sick lately w/my toddler,
so my first visit was cut short, I'm afraid.
but I did pu the Squidoo link (and some others) in my sig and I'd be
more than happy to help wherever I can and of course, absorb from your forum, too!
Take care,

- did not forget that squidoo is new to the market and there many lens rank well but the problem is are they convert well or not , just back links.
- I think every thing should have time and test. another thing depending to your niche market study your niche market and you will have many answers and look to squidoo most research keyword it can will help you.
