Squidoo is one of those Web 2.0 innovations that has really taken off. What is Squidoo?

Well, it’s a way to get yourself on the web without having a website or blog. What you get is a ‘lens’ which is sort of like a blog, but not actually.

Squidoo is free to join and and you can create as many lenses as you like on different topics. You can also earn money. You can advertise your own (or other people’s) stuff and you get a share of the Adsense revenue that Squidoo makes. Here’s what they say about this:

‘Squidoo makes money from ads and affiliate links.

We give 5% of what we earn, right off the top, to charity. We keep 45% to cover our overhead and stuff.

That leaves 50%. That goes to charity or to the people who build the pages. And we leave it up to you to choose one or the other.

It’s that simple. You can earn a dollar, a nickel or a dime at a time for your favorite cause or for you.

Did we mention that Squidoo is free? Always has been’.

Squidoo lenses are also a great way to get inbound links to your blog or website because apparently the search engines love Squidoo. And Squidoo is actually quite good fun.
