Has anyone had any luck getting traffic or decent back links from Squidoo or Hub Pages? I've heard that they are great for this but I don't want to put too much time into them if they are not worth it,,,
Hub Pages and Squidoo

Yeah, they're great for building backlinks, but not great for driving referred traffic really. Although, to be fair, Squidoo isn't as good for this as it used to be - Google "Squidoo slap" to find out more.

In this situation, Google would be the pimp and Squidoo would be the ho who has been stuffing twenties into her pockets at the end of her shift.

Yeah, I made a few and noticed some of the bookmarking sites would not take the Squidoo lenses.

With Hub Pages I've heard that you get your links to change from "no follow" (not counting to Google) to "do follow" based on the number of "points" you've accumulated on the site. I think you have to have somewhere between 75-80 points in order to get the links changed. If you can get that many points, it's definitely worth the time invested. I've also found they're really picky and if you post an article on there that is posted somewhere else online, they don't want you to have any links in the article, or they consider it spam.
Both of these sites are also good at ranking in Google, in their own rights. So while you may not get "Link Juice" or SEO benefits from either of them you can still attract direct traffic.
We have been using Squidoo and Hubpages for clients, using some long tail keywords and they work well.
There are examples on non competitive terms of having multiple listings. Your website AND your Squidoo lens. So why settle for one listing on the first page when yo ucan have two!
That said if you only want link value then these are not really for you.
Hope this helps...

I have created pages on squidoo, activerain, linkedin, and hubpage. All have helped a little bit on page rank but hubpage is kind of strict in that your page can not be overly promotional and has to have original content.
