The Benefits of Squidoo

I have a squidoo lens, called the storyteller, in which I am attempting to gain PR for my site. It is a long and arduous journey, this 'marketting', but I think I've become a bit better each day at it.

The squidoo lens is basically a place for hobbyists and specialists to expose their knowledge. People who have a passion for a particular subject matter can go on the site and basically talk about their passion/expertise/interests.

The only trouble is that it is a bit difficult to actually market anything with the site. I say 'difficult' and not 'impossible', because I do see how the site can benefit people attempting to market a service or product, but I have yet to figure out how to get high traffic to my squidoo, which would in essence be how it would market for me.

In other words, it is simply another site that I am trying to get traffic unto...

However, after perusing some of the other sites, I am seeing a specific growth in the content. It is, after all, a relatively new project, and I am seeing significant and consistent support. They have recently, for instance, opened up the site to groups, so that groups of "lensmasters" (people who talk about their passion/expertise/interests) can get together and (hopefully) trade and increase traffic.

I am still waiting on my own site-growth. We shall see, in the future, if it will increase...
