This method of generating traffic is simple to get started with yet not many people know about it. It’s quite powerful and if you use it with a popular affiliate product or any product that you’re selling, it has the potential of making some money quickly.

I’ve utilised this technique over the course of the last year on Squidoo, and this technique also works well on HubPages too, so I’ve implemented it there too. This technique could just be what you need to boost your Squidoo lenses and HubPages hubs to a greater level of traffic generation and income for you.

Both sites have something called tag pages, and this technique is based around those pages. If you are not familiar with what they are, you can go to either site, take a look at any page, and you’ll see tags quite clearly. A tag page has a list of all the HubPages hubs or Squidoo lenses that use that tag.

You may know the term tag more commonly used as a keyword, or search term, these are used to describe what a hub or lens is all about. After having tested this successfully on Squidoo, this was then tested several weeks later on HubPages, and in each scenario, substantial traffic was generated for the respective hub or lens, which in turn generated revenue for my affiliate product.

A good number of tag pages for both Squidoo and HubPages are ranked well with Google – a Google Page Rank of 6 is not unheard of for these kind of tag pages, and a first page ranking on Google took for that keyword. Adding that tag page to your hub or lens, then it will be listed there and you can start to generate some good traffic quite quickly.

This is a simple tip to get extra exposure and traffic to your hub or lens for free. This is very effective at getting increased traffic and popularity to your page so that you too can appear on that coveted first page for that specific tag. If there are only a few listings for your keyword, then you have a much greater chance of getting highly ranked.
