How to Get your Squidoo Lens in Google SERPs Part 1 – Links

I’ve seen a lot of questions lately on getting your lens indexed in Google and keeping there. I’m no stranger to having my lenses dropped out of Google search results after a few days, or never getting indexed at all. From what I can tell there are several major factors that play a role in [...]

Are you Using Jumptags to tag your lenses?

I’ve been using Jumptags a lot lately to bookmark my lenses as I complete them. They have a very nifty Firefox or IE extension that allows you to right click on any web page you are on and bookmark it.

I can also sort by lensrank….
Why this is cool
Can’t remember what the lens name was or was it tagged really [...]

My Squidoo Dashboard Wishlist

I’ve been trying to pound out some lenses today and have been struggling (as usual) with the unwieldy size of my dashboard. Having 300 lenses listed in one place is great for my ego, but not for getting anything productive done. Opening multiple accounts doesn’t really solve much but forcing me to remember more logins [...]
