Religion and Spirituality lenses (and more)

The total I’ve got on these lenses is not that much - so copying them is not a good idea. Together these lenses have about $10,- on the dashboard… Still they perform better than the rest of them do.
Many of these lenses actually tend to sell things I haven’t put on them. In other [...]

Sometimes a question from a loyal reader can bring out a lens. I created a lens today about keyword research: how to find that precise topic for your (money making) lens.
[I know, shortest blogpost ever].

In his post about the best squidoo lens directories, thefluffanutta gave a few hints about how lenses get shown in his own squidoo directory.
He had done a post about how to pick the best primary tag a few months ago, but not until I read this latest post did it finally click for me…
For [...]

I’ve made a lens about becoming popular on squidoo before.
Today I was so frustrated with my not so popular lenses (as in getting 0 to 5 visitors in the last week) I thought I’d make a lens about them. I’m sure someone else beat me to the punch with that idea, so please share [...]

This is partly an ‘I’m sorry I was wrong’ post.
It turns out that google does index and follow links on profile pages - even if there are more than a 100 links on that page. They said so themselves a bit after I blogged to watch out for this issue.
In other words: don’t [...]

I just tried out the new Amazon search module on my 2009 Spiritual Calendars lens. Obviously the main intent of this lens is to sell calendars. I found calendars on cafepress, amazon and all posters.com. But the pictures in the amazon search modules are so small, I wonder if they will sell at all…
Have [...]

Generally speaking there are two ways to do squidoo well:

Finding key words that are popular, but haven’t been covered by other websites and lenses yet
Making excellent lenses on a subject you are really into - even though there may already be a lot of information out there on the topic

The first is what I’d like [...]

I just had to say this. Trying to dispel a myth here.
It is NO use to submit your squidoo lens (or blog or website) in google. It is a waste of time.
I don’t know about yahoo and MSN, perhaps submitting your lens (or website or blog) there gets it traffic, but in google [...]

That’s the question… I made a Hey Monkeybrain lens about this: Would you rather have a squidangel blessing or a quality link?

One of the less known SEO considerations is that if there are too many links on a page, google may not take all of them into account. An often heard number is 100. So if there are more than a hundred links on a page, only the top 100 actually help the pages they link [...]
