I saw one fine program known as Squidoo. What you basically do is set up a lens. On this lens, you can enter anything you like. You could for instance list all the URLs of your adsense site.

Peek at some of the fine lenses that I have set up: Truck Driving, Business Hints, Cichlids, Contest of Champions, Communication, Articles, Indian Food, Gambling, Home Food.

This is a great way to get free links to your site. For instance, you I find it fine that Squidoo allows you to monetize your lenses. It places ads and other affiliate links on your page. If it makes any earning from your lenses, it shares a part of it with you. It is up to you whether you want to actually take the money home or donate it to charity.

Did you enjoy my lenses? Here are some more: Alternative Therapies, Walking, Dog Training, Supplies, Environment and Pollution, Gearing, Indian Explorers, MBA in India, Other Remedies.

My counsel to you would be to use Squidoo efficiently. It is one thing to just set up a page and forget it forever. It is entirely another to create a estimable page where you rank well and actually get traffic.

If you would like to look at some more lenses of mine, I do have some more: Grips, Stains, Increasing Efficiency In Business, Major Business, Newspapers, Code of Conduct, Brand Concepts, Training and Development.

I also believe that creating a Squidoo page solely for a link to your page is too much work. Instead you should try to get more out of the program. So, get with it and make the most of the occasion. I would also recommend that you read what other people have to say about Squidoo. Wikipedia article on Squidoo.
