|

Heard about this thing called "Squidoo" few months ago, and decided to check it out. I guess it's similiar in a way to My Space
"Squidoo: SKWID-OO, n. v., adj., addiction. 1) thousands of people creating a handbuilt catalog of the best stuff online 2) a free and fun way to make your own page and get traffic 3) a place to find what you're looking for, fast."
http://www.squidoo.com/
You can create what they call "Lenses", and create multiple, many lenses on various topics, products, etc to advertise. Also creating tags for the lenses that you make and publish.
I just thru this one below together rather quickly advertising eCrater, and what eCrater is all about.
http://www.squidoo.com/ecrater/
These are 2 other "Lenses" I created just this week advertising 2 products
http://www.squidoo.com/lightspeedspc/
http://www.squidoo.com/pcdiscolightkit/
Had 2 sales on this LED PC Disco Light last week from the Squidoo page,,, I messaged the customer thanking them for the purchase and asked them how they found the product,,, Google, Froogle, Products, Yahoo, etc?
they replied back thru the shopping catagory, and searching the Squidoo posts.
You guys might want to look into it, it's fairly easy to do, and you can create as many "Lenses" as you like on topics or Advertising your site and products. It's Free,, and check out, search the other "Lenses" on Squidoo just to get an idea.
If you would like to, send me your eCrater store URL, and a brief description, and i will add to the Squidoo Ecrater page above in a 1 page listing of stores at eCrater. |

Yeah, I've got a Squidoo site. I don't know how well it does in terms of promotion -- I've a feeling you've really got to promote IT in order for it to do much good -- but it was fun to set up and has a lot of neat features.

Mine is: http://www.squidoo.com/cuteasabug
Like Traffic Swarm and many other sites I think you really have to work it and there are only so many hours in the day.

Hi,
Please add my ecrater site to your page. It is
http://www.hawaiivacationgifts.ecrater.com
For unique handmade hawaiian gifts, gift baskets, tropical flowers and leis, kona coffee, macadamia nuts, fresh pineapple and hawaiian papaya delivery!
I don't know how to give you my logo other than if you don't mind copying and using the one from my ecrater site above.
I have made a couple of squidoo lenses before and I encourage people to use it and think of it as a free marketing tool. If you add your keywords to the title and body of your text, your page may show up higher than you think in natural searches at google, etc.
It also never hurts having more links that lead to your site.

I have done this yet, but I have looked at it.
How did you add your products? Is it easy to do? |

I found Squidoo. It certainly is addicting! And Fun!
I set up this lense to showcase my designs in beaded jewelry: http://www.squidoo.com/KnotGypsyDesigns.
Although, I suspect it is true that you would have to promote it, rather than have it promote you. It becomes one more hub in my "mighty" network.
I found it a little confusing at first, but there is a lot of help available. Once I found the help, it became very easy to produce a lens. I enjoy it so much, I am planning on making some lenses on other topics just for fun. |

Oh yeah, it couldn't be much easier -- if I remember correctly you just put in the URL for the RSS feed for your eCrater store and I think the eBay listings go by your eBay ID. |

HA! I figured it out!
Take your RSS feed off the bottom of your page and use that. DON'T forget to state HMTL for the pictures!
WOW! |

For those of you using RSS to your ecrater store... how did you get the BIN shopping cart icons? Mine just goes to a list of some of my items. |
