This weekend I was hanging out in the Squidoo Chat room with Troy and we came up with a little competition that I think you guys (and gals) might enjoy following along with.
From Last friday (the 9th) till this coming Friday (the 16th) Troy and I will each build ten lenses.
The lenses will follow the [...]
There are three different modules that I try and use in ALL of my local based lenses, and I’ve had great success with them.
1. Google Maps Module – No guarantee that it helps your google maps ranking in search results but I’ve seen promising things. Also, make sure and put the address of your location [...]
In my writings here on Captain Squid, you will often hear me mention the term ‘evergreen modules‘. I wanted to dedicate a post defining evergreen modules and what it means when I am talking about them so everyone is on the same page.
Evergreen Module – A squidoo module that can be updated either automatically or [...]
Getting some great questions on lenses so far guys, keep it up! I’ll continue to answer them here as we move along.
First question I want to tackle relates to how long it takes me to build lenses.
From Lewis:
Hey Joe!
Maybe you could also post about how long the lenses take you – I know you make [...]
Recently, after the demise of the Discovery tool and with Squidoo Groups having faded into (mostly) obscure places in the far reaches of Squidoo, an old stand by for optimizing your lens has re-emerged into viability – tagging your lens.
Tag pages are once again indexable by the major search engines. Fluffanutta has an exceptional review [...]

This is truly a shame as I find that lens labels are perhaps one [...]
Okay, so you probably haven’t made $1,000 from Commission Junction and Squidoo quite yet but hopefully the video series of the past few days has proven useful to a few young squids out there.
As a special follow up treat, if you can’t seem to watch the videos in your browser for whatever reason you can [...]
The last two videos in the series (Yes a bonus! 2 videos in one day! ) are all about how to use Commission Junction’s powerful reporting features to drill down to each Squidoo lens (and each link if you want) to determine what is working the best and which products are converting the [...]
This is the 3rd video in my Commission Junction training course. If you already have a good understanding of how commission junction works but are unsure how to use it to your best advantage with Squidoo than this video is definitely a must watch.
The video covers how to insert products, descriptions, and images into your [...]
A while ago I created a set of training videos a while ago detailing step by step how to use Commission Junction and I’ve decided to release them to you guys gratis.
In a nutshell, they tell you how to build a kick butt affiliate lens using a third party affiliate program like Commission Junction. It’s [...]
