I think that the ‘Plexo’ modules on Squidoo are probably one of the least understood aspects of Squidoo. I have always been kind of ambivalent towards all of the plexo modules just because I never really saw how they could benefit me. Until Now.
The Real Facts about Plexo Modules:
Votes are pooled across all versions of [...]
Squidoo HQ has been a busy group of guys and gals the past couple of months, releasing what they call ‘co-brands’ or ‘front doors’ to Squidoo. These doorways offer some different formatting as well as some auto-magical lens building abilities that can get you started on your lens.
The Co-Brands are nice, but what if you [...]
Squidoo can be really frustrating at times. Perhaps you have tons of great content and you still aren’t getting more than a trickle of traffic. Perhaps you’ve tried submitting your lens everywhere under the sun with less than spectacular results. Maybe you just can’t make that first sale off of your eBay or Amazon modules.

If you are building a new lens with any kind of Amazon, CafePress, or other products that Squidoo allows you to add descriptions to, add a short description.

Just add the RSS feed to your favorite lenses, or your [...]

Fluffanutta has written an exceptional article on Primary Tagging as a forum post. I’m going to repost it here after offering a few of my thoughts on Primary Tagging.
1) If your lens is about polka dotted [...]
Tagging has been pretty extensively covered by Lewis and his Tagging Tricks Lens and the Publishing Video in my Squidoo Training Center.
But here’s a little trick you may not know. When you start to try and tag a lens you can really get on a roll, pressing the ‘Tab’ key to cycle to the next [...]
I’m happy to announce the official top-down remodeling of Sell My Lens. I originally designed this site over 8 months ago, but it was wayyyy to early, Squidoo wasn’t ready. But now, there’s been a lot of renewed interest in buying and selling lenses, and I’ve spent all weekend and a good chunk of last [...]
Ok, the new Squidcasts are pretty awesome. Let’s talk about why for a minute.
You can now communicate directly to your visitors with little thoughts and tidbits. This is awesome.
You can announce new events or updates across the squidoo universe (well, YOUR squidoo universe)
This is good. Really good.
But how do you promote your squidcasts to [...]
