Captain Squid IS the Best Squidoo Blog

Pot Pie Girl released a list of the Top 100 Squidoo Blogs over the weekend and guess who is topping the charts?

Yours Truly!

Make sure and go check out the list, there are some great blogs on there that are worth taking a look at. Pot Pie Girl has also left admissions open, so if you are an up and coming Squidoo blogger, you can get your name on the list and start climbing the ranks as well!

It’s an honor to be in the top slot and I’m only there because of all you guys, so thank you very much for that. I fully expect a few of you to be charging hard to overtake my spot and I welcome the challenge. More and better blogs about Squidoo only means more and better information being out there on how to make money for yourself or a great cause being available to everyone.

Thanks for putting that list together PotPie Girl!

I wrote a guest post for PotPieGirl yesterday exploring some new tricks I’ve learned about getting passive backlinks with YouTube modules.

I haven’t published that trick anywhere else, so it’s worth checking out. PotPieGirl runs a great marketing and SEO blog and talks a lot about actual implementation of theories you hear so much about.

Thanks for the chance to guest post PotPie Girl! If anyone else would like me to guest post, please feel free to contact me. It was a lot of fun and I’d definitely do guest posting again.

Weekly Squidoo News: Monkey Brain Edition

Wow, that was a friggin quick week!ï¿½ Let’s get right too it -

Squidoo HQ announced the release of their next front door : Hey MonkeyBrain. This is a debate themed site where the magic build lenses are designed around two sides to an argument. I thought something like this might have been in the works, but the actual product turned out awesome! Mashable and Digg agree.

Sell My Lens is gaining some steam. Fluffanutta sold a set of lenses for over $100 this week. Pot Pie Girl’s post on her Squidoo Lensmaking for clients reminded me – If you have a service like that, feel free to post it as a classified ad on Sell My Lens!

New site on my radar -

Hurox (pronounced ‘who rocks’) – Could be very similar to Squidoo, entirely built on Ajax and VERY fast. Still in early Beta.

Promotion idea -

Dosh Dosh wrote an article last month with 40 of the highest quality social networking sites. As usual, it’s great link bait so I’m biting.

That’s all for this week – More Piratey Squidoo News next week…
