1. Squidoo allows you to create a lens, which in turn, allows you to either add content related to your desired topic, which drives traffic, and increases your page rank. This can teach someone the fundamentals of generating traffic which is crucial when you have a website.
2. Squidoo is 100% free!
3. The lens you create allows you to advertise for a large amount of companies such as cafepress.com, amazon.com, orbitz.com, etc. By doing this, and generating income, you are now being introduced to affiliate marketing, and allowing yourself the opportunity to generate an income.
4. A Squidoo lens is also a great way to promote your niche/blog. By promoting your blog via your lens, you are "trading traffic". What I mean by this is, the people who visit your blog will now see links to the lens and go there, and the people who are viewing your lens, will now visit the blog link. This draws traffic in from two networks and increases your potential to be seen.
5. Squidoo offers a large amount of support when developing your ideas. You are never left alone to fend for yourself.
6. Your lens can be about ANYTHING from your favorite movie, game, or even about world issues, or what bugs you most about your government.
7. The Lens will offer you a chance to talk to others, much like a blog, about the topics you are interested in.
8. Lastly, but most important, it provides you with a FREE base to get across any point you are trying to make, with the possibility of being viewed from all squidoo members and through SEO rankings.
For an example of a STARTER lens, check out mine about PC Gaming

This lens was created on July 19, and offers the reader information about games that they love to play. Here, I also advertise for amazon, offer videos, and have links to gamer products and my blog (trading traffic)
