Just an FYI,
I’ve finally found a way to convert my training videos to a format that would upload on YouTube. If anyone is interested in seeing them again, or putting them on your lenses (hint, hint )� They can be found under Captain Squidoo.
The Next series of videos will be on using CJ [...]
The New Year is a time for goal setting. Anything is possible. Looking back on 2007 and my Squidoo experience, I get really excited.
Excited about the people I’ve met.
Excited about the potential of Squidoo.
Excited about helping others learn about it.
I’ve set a new Squidoo goal for myself in the 2008 year.
I want to have 1,000 [...]
Seth and the team over at HQ have been super busy, as always. The latest in the line of Squidoo Developments is experimenting with a new ad setup.
The New Squidoo Ad Setup
The old Google Adsense Ads remain on the page. A new 300 pixel ad has been added in the upper right hand corner, a [...]
Arrrggghh…. Because I’m the Captain and I like keeping my matey’s up to date, I’ve created a special treat for ye this week.
I’m proud to present the first Captain Squid E-Book : The Lens Publishing Checklist !
What is it?
The Lens Publishing Checklist is a 12 Step ( with a bonus 13th step for some lenses) [...]
The Fluffanutta has recently done a total facelift on Squid Utils. We first talked about using Squid Utils and Zimbio to quickly promote all of your lenses as RSS feeds. Now, some new features have been added, allowing you to manage your lenses even more effectively.
Combining multiple tools in one place is something the Captain [...]

Total: $574.79
This was the Captain’s best month ever for both segments, nearly doubling the [...]
There are tons of social bookmarking and networking sites out there. However, if you don’t have any friends on these sites, you aren’t very likely to be heard.
So, in the interest of spreading the word about all the great lenses everyone is making, we have created the Captain’s Roving Band.
We have created core groups on [...]
There’s a new module on the ‘Interact’ page of the Module picker titled’ Amazon Recomendations’. It’s an interesting twist on the classic Amazon Plexo that’s worth checking out.
It basically pulls a 5 item plexo list from Amazon with items that are ‘related’ to the item you give the module to start with.
Why this is awesome:

Doug Eby pointed this one out to me the other day, it’s definitely a must have for going back and optimizing your keywords.
After you begin to see search traffic from your lens, the keywords used to find it will be displayed on your Traffic tab of your Stats area. This is all well and good, [...]
I feel that the YouTube module is one of the most poorly used modules as a whole across Squidoo when it has the potential to be one of the most powerful.
