SquidooMake money online for free is actually possible with Squidoo.

This is old news but my Squidoo lenses really suffered after The Big G gave Squidoo a big slap. When I saw what little income I was making from this source all but stop I just dropped Squidoo and moved on to something else. All I could think about was all the hard work I had put into it, well I just got a bit ticked and quit Squidoo-ing.

Not that I lost a lot of income as I was only getting started with Squidoo but it still knocked the wind out of my sails.

What I didn’t pay attention to though and this is important was the traffic I was getting to my other blogs and websites. Instead I just stopped using Squidoo and only went back periodically to see if there was an increase in the income.

Well I am started my Squidoo campaign again and this time I will concentrate on the traffic Squidoo can generate for my other sites instead of seeing how much I can make on Squidoo.

My latest project is to get my butt back over to Squidoo and start talking about my BANS sites. Let’s see what kind of traffic I can generate to each Build A Niche Store site.

I will use this particular Squidoo lens to share what I learn about BANS and how to make it better. I am already learning how to modify the BANS templates to make them more unique but I will leave the rest of what I am learning for my BANS Squidoo lens.

The process is pretty simple and only requires a few new paragraphs on my BANS Squidoo lens every few days to keep it fresh and growing. Plus search engines like fresh content so why put all that I have for this lens up in one sitting. Instead I will feed the Googlebot a little at a time.

I will also go through my previous post about Squidoo and link to my new BANS Squidoo lens to get a little more linking going on.

For those just starting with Squidoo remember to use this method to make money online for free. It doesn’t have to be used for BANS, I also use it to promote products and services I don’t even have websites for, instead it’s affiliate marketing for free.

I love living in Canada, although I wish this winter would end. It would be nice to spend the money I make online on my hobbies like buying a new bass boat but we have to pay a fortune for furnace oil and electricity.

I guess I could have started a blog complaining about the high prices of fuel for both heating and driving. Maybe that would take care of those expenses while I earn money online from my hobby blogs. Nothing like making money online with my fly fishing blog and BANS site and then spending it on my new fishing supplies.

Well we won’t have to put up with the cold and high oil prices. I am already retired and ready to start traveling but my beautiful wife doesn’t want to give up the job she has had for the past thrity years, although she was almost convinced this year with all the ice and snow. More than we usually get, but not a record, just a pain in the back, shoulders, legs…

We are already planning to purchase laptops so that we can both keep up with our websites while on the road to who knows where.

Well we are down to just over a foot of snow and ice in my backyard. It’s pretty to look at from my office window but I don’t like to play in it any more. I can see some of our shrubs poking their noses out of the snow and they don’t look happy at all.

I think a place in Florida will work for us. We have friends there and buying a property may be the only way I can get my wife to leave here, at least for a few months in the middle of our winter.

I definitely won’t be leaving New Brunswick in the spring through fall, the fly fishing for Atlantic salmon is just too much fun. Come on April 15, 2008. I can get two days of salmon fishing in before our 25th wedding anniversary.

Love you dear, please QUIT YOUR DAY JOB !!

Knowledge is power and ClickTale.com will track your visitors giving you the knowledge you need to make your sites powerful. The more you learn about the traffic you receive the better chance you have to make money online faster.

What are your visitors doing when they arrive at your site? Are they just leaving? Do they go through other pages on your site?

The answers to these questions can give you the power to make their visit better which will keep them on your site longer and even have them return over and over.

A few question from their ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section should give you all the anwers you need to make the choice to start using ClickTale.com.

1. How is ClickTale different from traditional web analytics?

While traditional web analytics provide aggregated visitor data across web pages, ClickTale provides information about individual visitor behavior inside the web page. They show website owners movies of browsing sessions, as well as meaningful reports of behavior inside their webpage by aggregating thousands of visitor sessions. Now, website owners can gain a deeper understanding of visitor behavior, which leads to improved website usability, enhanced navigation, and increased overall website effectiveness.

Seeing is believing.

2. How is ClickTale different from other website recording services?

ClickTale is a mature and reliable site-analysis service that has been running for over a year on thousands of production websites. ClickTale-enabled pages have been visited over 100 million times and over one million pages have been recorded. We offer Heatmaps for an aggregate view of your data, advanced search capabilities, automatic tagging, and recording of https pages such as checkout and login pages.

3. How does ClickTale work?

ClickTale is a hosted service, so no software installation on the server or client side is needed and visitors can browse your website as they always have. Account setup takes only a few minutes.

As with other web analytics packages, website owners add a small piece of JavaScript code to their web pages. The JavaScript collects browsing data and transmits it to the ClickTale servers for processing. ClickTale creates movies of browsing sessions in minutes, and website owners can log-in securely at any time to view these movies.

4. Will you record all my website visitors?

Not usually. ClickTale typically records a random subset of your daily visitors. The number of daily recordings is limited by the level of your subscription plan and the criteria you choose.

Well there you have it. Take a closer look at ClickTale.com and see what it can do for you.
