Online marketing with spiritual integrity
I had a panicky email from a fellow squid this weekend who was worried about whether she’d get to stay in the Giant Squid program, after having been accused of problem making on the new squidu forums. It really is unfortunate when people who worry are perceived as rocking the boat. When what they’re doing [...]

Chefkeem at Wizzley shared some great tips for making it online on their forums today. One post he shared was the Noble Samurai videos on web conversion. Web conversion is basically the art of turning traffic into buyers. This post is about how to turn traffic into buyers on affiliate sites. Noble Samurai has published [...]

This is a post that AJ wrote on Squidu. I thought it well worth sharing with you all. So many times I see answers to questions about how to get traffic that tell people to go and comment on other people’s lenses. Yes, DO participate in the community. Yes, go visit and comment but at [...]

Loads of people relied on lensroll as a quick and easy way to give their own lenses links from their own lenses. In fact – some people absolutely abused the feature. With lensroll gone very soon (some time today), it’s time to replace those links. Not, as HQ suggests by using the related lenses feature. [...]

Since loading time affects (to a very small extent) how Google ranks pages and sites, it is in all of our best interests to have fast lenses. One way of speeding up lenses is to not set modules like the twitter-search module to look for new content every hour. Set it to every day. That [...]

I was amazed to read in the last post on the ‘official squidoo blog’ that a lensmaster thought the only disadvantage to not using CSS at all (for a Rocketmom challenge) was not being able to center images. http://blogs.squidoo.com/squidblog/2011 … -optional/ Why was I amazed? It’s not true. There are a few modules that do [...]

The lens doesn’t rank, but the squidu thread does. Let’s see how the blogpost does, shall we? It’s an often asked question: why did my lens / blog / hub suddenly lose traffic? I wrote a lens to answer that question: Why did I suddenly lose google traffic? The short answer? Probably nothing to do [...]

I’m archiving my best Squidu posts here, for future reference. Adapting slightly in view of comments made there. A recent TED video made me realize just how far we’ve come from the days when search engine results were the same for everybody. There is not much we can do about it, unfortunately, but it’s still [...]

Well, with me and other prominent squids having deserted Squidu, I guess it’s time to reevaluate on how to keep informed about the best way to make use of the platform. For me, for instance, about half my online income comes from Squidoo (that includes my own affiliate links). I have to stay informed about [...]

Darcy wrote on my latest blogpost that I attributed 50% of my success to Squidoo. I was like: no, I don’t. I attribute about 10% of my success to Squidoo. 90% of my success is me. I’m serious: if it wasn’t Squidoo, it would be something else. Sure, I make about 50% of my online income [...]
