Squidoo has you create a page, which is also called a lens. From this lens, you can actually direct others on the Internet to the places that you would like for them to visit. In other words, you provide links to sites you want to promote.

Your lens can be easily built to suit you. You can use your lens to tell others what matters to you, to teach others something of interest to you, or to let others know about products you have for sale.
