How To Build A Quiz Online (and get more followers)
For those of you in a hurry! Here’s the secret: Take an interesting and timely topic, build a fun and takeable (and talkaboutable) quiz, share with a network of people ready to play with you, add a dash of charity story for dogooding and good measure. There you go. You can stop reading and go [...]4 Proven Steps To More Traffic, More Royalties
One of the most popular questions we get, especially during a big online shopping (and giving) season like this one: “How do I get more traffic and make more money?” The good news is it takes some work. Why is that good news? Because that means the lazies, the spammers, the shortcutters won’t win. And [...]The YouTube module: Fix is on the way!
The long and short of it is: YouTube decommissioned the old API we were using. That is why you might have noticed some empty, videoless YouTube modules right now. We’re aware, and we’re working to upgrade to the new API. Smarter brains than mine (ie, Gil!) says the module will be back in action [...]Are You Gross? (And other quizzes)
True to form, the Squidoo community is surprising me with the diversity, completeness, creativity (and in some cases, downright weirdness) of the SquidQuizzes they’re creating. If you’re stuck at work late on this Friday night, or looking for some trivia (some trivial) pursuits, try your hand at a few of these top quizzes. Some favorites so [...]Guestbook upgrades, coming soon
Very soon we’ll be releasing some upgrades to the Guestbook module. This goes way beyond Guestbook 2.0. More like Guestbook 9000. Here’s what comes bundled with the upgrade. An option for Squidoo lensmaster-only commenting (with inline login). Not new, but improved. Commenting login via Twitter and FacebookConnect. Even if your readers aren’t logged in Squidoo lensmasters, they can [...]Seth Godin's Blog

Adding “ReTweet” Buttons To Your Lens
The TweetMeme retweet button is for website and blog publishers who want to encourage their audience to tweet their content on Twitter. The button shows a live count of the number of times your webpage or blog post has been tweeted. You may have already seen buttons like this one appearing on this and other blogs all over No related posts.Improved Tag Pages at Squidoo
Recently, Squidoo updated their tag pages to be more useful to visitors and search engines. If you’re not familiar with tag pages, these are pages that list lenses that use a particular tag. Have a look at the Lensography tag page for an example. There are hundreds of thousands of tags on Squidoo, providing an additional Related posts:How To Pick Your Primary Tags
Originally posted on SquidU Forum as The Importance of Primary Tags. This post was published on April 21st, 2008 and updated on July 23rd, 2009. The Primary Tag is the first tag you are asked to define when creating your new lens, and it is an often misunderstood and poorly utilised by many Lensmasters. Admittedly, it doesn’t Related posts:How To Search for Lenses and Groups
Searching for Squidoo lenses on a search engine can be a real pain sometimes, as the results are very often filled with non-content pages. Finding the best groups for your lens to join can also be very tricky. SquidUtils provides two custom searches (powered by Google) that are optimised to only return the searches that you Related posts:How to Add a FanClub Counter
Back in June 2008, I introduced the ‘FanClub Counter’ – an orange box that shows how many fans you have in your FanClub, linking back to your profile on Squidoo.

Once upon a time, probably during April of 2007, I started making a few tools for Squidoo Lensmasters. I don’t know the exact date, but I figure that “2 years ago” is close enough. The very first tool was the Lensmaster RSS Feed. I remember requesting this on the forum, but a month later I had Related posts:A Browser Toolbar for Squidoo Lensmasters
This news has already been leaked out via a few other blogs, so this post marks the official release of the SquidUtils Toolbar. It is available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, on Windows, Mac and Linux. This toolbar is designed to make the job of a Lensmaster easier, by putting some of the most used Related posts:Squidoo Releases New Lens Workshop
Squidoo have overhauled their lens editor, and today released Workshop 2.0! The guys at HQ have done a wonderful job, and have really improved the lens editing experience.

A couple months ago, Seth Godin wrote a blog post about critical mass, and how it applies to social networking. There was this particular paragraph that resonated with me: “If you have a presence on twitter, squidoo, blogs, facebook, myspace, linkedin and 20 other sites, the chances of finding critical mass at any of them is No related posts.The Best Lens Directories
Some of the best places to get backlinks to your lenses are directories. These are websites that collect and categorize links to other websites, and there are a growing number of directories specifically tailored to Squidoo Lenses. I have been assessing the relative merits of these Squidoo directories, and I have put together this review of No related posts.Birthdays

"Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don't need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies." ~ Elad Shippony
