ePN Promotes Using Squidoo on The ePN Blog
September 30th, 2008 | by admin |ePN is flexing the muscle of its blog promoting the use of Squidoo. As Internet Marketers most all of us have know the power of Squidoo for years. Creating lens on the site is a primary form of marketing for 1000’s of marketers, Sellers on not only eBay, but Amazon and other affiliate programs.
When I first heard of Squidoo the rumor was it wasn’t being crawled by Google and then it was. Some Marketers swear by the site and promote everything from pimple medication to cars.
The best thing in my mind about Squidoo is that everything on the site is unique content. Each lens needs to be built with authority and have valuable content for the users of the site looking for information. Information is what Internet Users want. If a conversion of a sale happens then you’ve done your job of writing Unique, Relevant Useful Content For Users. The very same criteria Google uses to rank your sites. So having links to your site from Squidoo will help your sites rank better in the index.
It’s about time ePN caught up with the rest of us! ePN doesn’t seem to understand what we go through to rank our sites and drive traffic to eBay. At least in there responses on there forum. Its almost like they want instant result from it’s affiliates. It shows when the start with quality scores and tell affiliate to archive non performing sites. How can you build a site naturally and have instant results. You can’t. Sites may have a honeymoon period, but after 30 days most site drop in the search engines and slowly climb back up. Those of us who use ePN should be happy that the ePN Blog has began to get on the same track as us. Hopefully they will learn more about how the cycle of site building works and loosen up on the quality issue and the user engagement they mentioned during the recent expiration’s of users.
Sept 11 2008 eBay block servers that 1000’s of ebay Partner sites where hosted on. At first eBay said nothing was wrong, but quickly learned of the major outage. The ePN community came together to fix this problem. EBay even asked a fellow BANS member for help. If it wasn’t for the affiliate marketers that ePN has been alienating for months the problem might have never been fixed. I sure hope Sept 11, 08 show eBay that where not all bad people like they have been treating some and come to realize if people work together much more good can be done. eBay needs to learn you get more with sugar than vinegar. IMO
