Hubpages and Squidoo for Industrial SEO

A sheet metal fabrication article with a list of environmentally friendly fabrication techniques could be written. An industry could write a Squidoo “lens” about the basics of their industry and supplement the lens with fun graphics, gadgets and other tools which make the lens more interactive. With Hubpages, which is similar to Squidoo, the “hub” you create is given a grade in terms of how successful it is, which will help you steer your content in the right direction. Hubpages recently gained a Google PageRank of 6 meaning it’s a valuable information source for Google. consider adding some of your industry’s information on Squidoo and Hubpages as a way of dipping your toes in the social media world. The links you create are free and the information you put into the interactive world never expires. You’ll be gaining visitors long into the future, if you write a useful, content rich lens or hub.
