Advice for Squidoo – Ebay Affiliates

Recently (May), Ebay released some policy changes for their affiliates, not allowing them to put links on domains they don’t ‘control’ instead of content.
This has caused some big time ripples as it is the latest in a string of moves by eBay that increasingly makes their affiliate program more and more hostile towards its own [...]

A Guide to Squidoo Lens Labels

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.
