does it work?....the million dollar question. You can check my follow-up here in which I talk about some of the flaws of (owm) one week marketing. OWM Review The deal is this- Most plans or strategies that deal with systems do work...it is always better to have a system than to simply try to work without one. The problem is that most of these systems take work....something that most who want to make money online don't want to do.

Interesting….I was considering OWM but doing “review” research to get a feel for how effective to the program is. With your last post Leo, can you provide some additional detail about your thoughts and determination about the program? Does it work in general (assuming a good niche + hubpages – squidoo) or whatever combination would make it a viable investment or should it be a general “pass” as not a good learning opportunity to invest in?

Just a little heads up:

Day 5 and I have one squidoo lens that has been indexed. This is despite the fact that each lens has a ezinearticle pointing to it as well as the other stuff I was supposed to do.

In contrast, I made a hubpage, same niche…just a basic rewrite of the squidoo lens..I did Nothing. I didn’t even ping the damn thing and it indexed literally 3 hours after it went live.

@ Nicola, I have actually thrown up a couple hubpages as well (did it this morning when I woke up) and I will no nothing more than point a EZA at it to see how quickly it gets indexed. My guess is that it will get indexed very quickly especially given the 100 hub challenge that is going on right now.

I have never been keen on hubpages because it is so community driven and they really don’t like affiliates (although they love the content). When I have used hubpages in the past, I have always used it as the “destination” point in the funnel since they are quite finicky in when they follow or do nofollow.

I know that Court has mentioned that it isn’t that hard to get an author ranking of 74 or higher (which is when your links become “dofollow”) but what I have found is that the less outbound links you have, the higher the score. Another thing I have kind of discovered by accident is that if you let a hub site unpublished for a couple days, the score will raise….not sure why that is…perhaps it is because they think you are really working on it…who know, lol.

I bought the OWM but haven't tried it yet because I really dislike Squidoo - I think I'll try it with Hubpages instead. Nicola’s last blog post..Brown Calf Stitch Boots

@ John- a parasite host is nothing more than a free hosted platform. This could be squidoo. It could wetpaint. It could be wordpress. Typically the reason why marketers use them is because of the trustrank that they give (although there are other reasons as well).

@Amanda- Mark and Court’s program is good from what I have heard. Tell me…I keep getting traffic from his forum but can’t see what is being discussed b/c I am not a member. Good things, I hope?

Leo, I’m new to internet marketing. When you use the term “parasite host” are you referring to all free web hosts or are you just referring to those that take a cut of the profits (e.g., Hubpages, Squidoo). If you’ve defined the term in the past, my apologies.
