Squidoo is one of the popular ways to get traffic. To cap it, Google loves Squidoo. Due to many spammers, Google is more cautious now, but if you provide information-rich content and optimize it, your Squidoo lens (as it is called) will start to naturally come up in Google searches for that particular keyword.

The thing that we love about Squidoo is that it has a dashboard that gives you statistics on how many visitors have come to visit your lens and better still, what keywords are they typing to find you. This is useful information that you can use on your website too.

Squidoo is very versatile. You can add YouTube videos, Flickr, Amazon products for sale, Del.icio.us bookmarks, eBay items, Google Blog Search, Link List, Orbitz! And add text.
Promote your business: Make a lens about your business. Research your keywords and add it to the title of your lens.

Tag it with keywords that you think people will search when looking for your online business. Once your lens is created, join groups. Promote your lens, rate other people's lens and they will rate yours.
