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.
Today, lets focus on one aspect of lensrank that is [...]
mac33 has an excellent post on lensrank decay on one of his lenses and the impact of traffic on his lensrank.
It is an excellent example of how a few ticks of traffic to your lens don’t necessarily mean you will instantly climb to the top of the lensrank ladder. If your visitors arent engaging with [...]
I see remarkably little written across the various blogs, forums and other sites that populate the Squidoo community about lens labels. I can only assume that not very many people use them in their accounts or they are not used very effectively.
This is truly a shame as I find that lens labels are perhaps one [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time in the past talking about how Lensrank, while a potentially nice boost, shouldn’t be a cornerstone of your money making plan.
A stepping stone? Yes, definitely. Who doesn’t love a few extra bucks coming in every month? In fact, it’s possible to make several hundred bucks a month this way.
Why [...]
Now that we’ve established that rating swaps for lensrank are not worth your time, let’s talk about why doing (almost) anything for earnings from lensrank aren’t really worth it either.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation. You are a new squidoo lensmaster. You want to turn squidoo into a major income stream of yours, earning $2,000 a [...]
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 [...]
Weird #1 lens today…….. (I didn’t photoshop this except to crop it and it’s not one of my lenses.) You can find the lens here. Not sure how long this will stay up.
On Sunday Morning, squidoo lensranks (the ‘rank’ of a ‘lens’ is how well it is doing in comparison to other pages on squidoo’s site) changed a bit more than usual.
Now, in and of itself, this is not an unusual thing, as Lensrank usually shifts a bit more on Sundays due to some parts of the [...]
Okay, so after spending all day on Sunday re-tagging over 70 lenses (thank my piratey stars that the keyboard shortcuts for fast tagging still work.) based on the results of a test I was running (more on that later..) I’ve come to some conclusions about labels.
1) They save you a lot of time if set [...]
As tends to happen every 3 months or so, it appears that Squidoo HQ has again updated the special sauce that keeps Squidoo interesting, Lensrank.
The last lensrank ranking change brought us a much heavier weight placed on traffic and less placed on having a single star rating. This shifted focus towards bringing traffic to your [...]
