Oftentimes it’s easy to get wrapped up with just the basic modules in Squidoo. A lot of lensmasters get into a ‘groove’ where they know what modules they like and they know which ones they are going to use.
A lot of Squidoo lensmasters seem to occaisionally forget the real depth that is in the module [...]
From new and veteran lensmasters alike I often see the question of ‘How do the Squidoo Adsense Payouts work?’. While the Squidoo FAQ on Payment does an okay job of explaining this, I decided to take a stab at some of the finer points of the monthly Squidoo payout and how it works.
All about Adsense [...]
As promised, I’m going to walk everyone through a sample lens built with a Pepperjam affiliate program. If you haven’t already, learn how you can sign up with Pepperjam and get 10 bucks free so you can follow along. Not totally sure what type of affiliate network PepperJam is?

As many of you have probably heard, Squidoo is sponsoring a contest for eBay users masterminded by Giant Squid and Powerseller Katiyana. The Challenge? Build 10 lenses in 10 days from June 4 – June 17th about eBay. There are of course, lots of fabulous prizes and exposure up for grabs including an eBay Live [...]
Memorial Weekend was very ‘Dip’ like for me. I kept having things break, publishers discontinue their affiliate programs, lenses fall out of google like a rock, etc.
While frustrating, it’s certainly not the first time I’ve had a few days like that and it wont be the last. It did get me to thinking on the [...]

Let’s start off by looking at the 4 different ‘types’ of links that go into and [...]
Yesterday, Gil announced the release of a new Table of Contents Module.
Gil’s Example:
Fluffanutta’s example after applying some of his CSS Tricks:
How it Works

I’ve been trying to pound out some lenses today and have been struggling (as usual) with the unwieldy size of my dashboard.

If you click through, you can browse around the squidoo of early ‘06 a bit. Sometimes it’s good to look back on where things were in order to see how far you have come. More lenses have been built in the last 2 weeks than [...]
I’m constantly amazed at the people I find on forums that are still stuck in last summer and convinced that Squidoo is worthless as a tool for promotion or for making money. Their loss, my gain I suppose..
