There sure are a lot of great lensmasters out there! Amazing things can happen when we put our heads together, just look at the Giant Squids. One great offshoots of the Superhero contest was that so many great people stood up and took the lead, paid attention and participated and made a name for themselves. They [...]

A great way to wrap up a week

All of us, at some point, were new to Squidoo. For those of us who were new a longer time ago, it’s hard to appreciate the amazing amount of new information new users must learn as they jump into building lenses, Squidcasting, monetizing modules, and link building. New members have so much to [...]

The Squidoo Answer Deck: A new kind of FAQ

When I was planning my wedding, I set up a website with a whole bunch of helpful info for our guests. Where to stay. What “black and white attire” meant (no, it’s not black tie!). Why we didn’t have a registry. Et cetera. No one read it. They called instead. Or sent emails. My husband and [...]

BRB, LotD

Squidoo’s Lens of the Day is real popular. Wicked popular. So popular that it’s time for an upgrade. We’re working this week with Google-owned Feedburner to be one of the first on their brand new email system. This means better reliability, scheduling options, a smoother subscribe and unsub process, and hey, you know you’re in good [...]

New Tools for Squidoo Lensmasters

If you don’t already know, the prime purpose of SquidUtils is to provide tools and utilities for Lensmasters. You can get a summary of what’s on offer here by reading the post Welcome to SquidUtils, and then come back here to catch up with what’s new. In recent weeks, I have been building some new tools, [...]

4 Out Of 5 Lenses Have Poor Health!

I have analysed almost 70 thousand lenses at Squidoo by 2,250 Lensmasters, and I’ve identified a number of issues that common to a staggering 80% of these lenses. Some of these issues are preventing the lenses from ranking well in the Search Engines, and many Lensmasters have posted to the forums complaining about a [...]

How to Use Your Lensmaster Feed

One of the oldest tools here at SquidUtils is the Lensmaster Feeds. These are RSS Feeds that contain links to all of your lenses (or groups). These are perfect for syndicating - which will result in many websites linking directly to your lenses. And the great thing is, as you build new lenses, they will [...]

Do Your Amazon Links Still Work?

The Amazon Link Error Report alerts you when your lenses have Amazon Links that have been changed or deleted. It will also tell you which lenses these links are on, so you can then go to your workshop and fix them. All you need to do is login, and look out for the warning message [...]

Relevance is Key!

One of the most common pieces of advice these days seems to be “write good, unique content”. While this is true, there’s a word that I seem to use a lot in my forum posts: “relevance”. Why? Search engines love to make associations between ‘things’ that are related - this is how they work. Ultimately, they [...]

Being an Amazon Associate on Squidoo

The great thing about Squidoo is that you can sell Amazon products on your lens, without needing to sign up as an Amazon Associate first. There are 4 great Amazon modules that you can add to your lens. Squidoo handles all of that on your behalf, gets the maximum commission rate, and splits the revenue [...]

How To Pick Your Primary Tags

Originally posted on SquidU Forum as The Importance of Primary Tags. 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 seem do a whole lot, but there are some important points you should [...]

Welcome to the SquidUtils Blog

First of all, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself. I joined Squidoo in September of 2006, and I’ve build a few lenses in that time, which I have showcased in my Lensography. I think that Squidoo is a fabulous platform, and I have been contributing my bit to its development, as well as [...]

"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
