I was going back over some of my payout records for squidoo and I realized something that made me do a very hard double take. I believe that it’s actually better for lensmasters and they make more money when squidoo uses the tiered adsense sharing program they currently have in place.
Before I explain why, here [...]
During our little discussion on tags the past few days, I noticed that Drew from Squidoography posted an excellent tip on easily searching different squidoo tag pages using Firefox.
Essentially, you can create a firefox bookmark that allows you to type ‘tag search+tag+here‘ into your Firefox address bar and instantly pull up the related squidoo tag [...]
If you missed it, make sure and read the first part of my series on Squidoo link flow from and to lenses.
Now that we’ve established where the links from lenses go to, lets discuss a little bit about how those Squidoo tag pages I crow about so much play into the whole system.

This is the beginning of a 4-part series I’m going to release this week that describes how I believe Squidoo’s internal link structure works to help you get better rankings and what you can do to take advantage of it.
Let’s start off by looking at the 4 different ‘types’ of links that go into and [...]
I don’t know if squidoo has reached some kind of ‘next level’ or what, but there seems to be an explosion of new Squidoo blogs, people using twitter, and now friendfeed feeds of lensmasters.
Now, this captain sails a fast ship but things are obviously moving at breakneck speed.
Hold on to the ride and we’ll see [...]
For the first time today, one of my lenses has made me over $1,000 in a month. Not all of my lenses, one. This is a huge milestone for me and I’m super duper excited about it!
It’s taken me almost a year of steady lensbuilding ( 11 months to the day to be exact ) [...]
Well, as Squidoo HQ has mentioned several times, they continue to adjust and update their templates for lenses and how users interact with them.
If you haven’t had a chance to go look at a lens in the last few days, go take a peek. It’ okay… I’ll wait.
…
Okay, so it looks a little bit different. [...]
There was a huge hubub a few months ago when the PepperJam Affiliate Network (run by Kris Jones) opened to the public. I signed up early in their release but I wanted to use the system a while before I threw my 0.02 in on the issue.
How does PepperJam stack up?

All of the graphics and [...]
Do you ever get total writer’s block with Squidoo? or you have ideas but you just can’t seem to get the energy to put them down in a lens?
When this happens to me I have a fun method I use that I thought I would share with you all.
Step 1 – Make sure you have [...]
My fine lensmastering friend Katiyana just announced yesterday that she is opening up her lens creation services to the public. She’s offering to build lenses for your eCrater, eBay, Etsy, or BluJay store. Her full lens creation and maintenance services are actually quite reasonable, and I’m sure she’s going to have more clients than she [...]
