Interesting News,
Gil announced that Squidoo has removed the no-follow links located in certain modules (About Me, My Lenses, Text with Big Picture).

RSS has had No-Follow ADDED to it. Before the changes there was absolutely no reason for RSS to have no-follow applied to RSS modules, as the entire module was rendered in a way [...]
One more week of my little lensbuilding contest with Grayth and it’s looking like I might draw the short end of the stick! We’ll see how it all works out in the end. (follow contest progress here)
Either way, the contest has given me some great new ideas for templates etc for future lensbuilding, as most [...]
The Amazon Fitness Lensbuilding Competition between Grayth (troy) and myself has begun as of Sunday and I’ve scored the first Sales with $1.24 currently pending on my dashboard from the 8 lenses I have entered in the competition.

In the spirit of the payday inspired post here’s a little teaser image of my earnings in my main squidoo account since inception:
Now, every month payday invariably brings about discussion of Lensrank, that magical formula that helps determine how much your lens makes in a month.

Are you trying to make a living with Squidoo? one of the most effective business models you can pursue is to go around town and build lenses for local businesses.

As some of you know, I’ve basically disappeared off the face of the Squidoo-verse for the last 4 months or so.
I was working on one of my most aggressive entrepreneurial projects ever.
It totally crashed and burned over the last few weeks.
Failing is something I do on a regular basis with various things, but I’m not going [...]
I’ve received a great response so far on my little Squidoo Quest and am noticing some repeated questions on keyword/topic research so I feel that we should dedicate a few posts here to talking about it.
Here’s my general philosophy on researching new squidoo lens topics (or new niches in general)

Getting some great questions on lenses so far guys, keep it up! I’ll continue to answer them here as we move along.
