Rate One Another`s Squidoo Lenses

[TeamPlayer]

A lot`s been written about Squidoo lately, yet it`s surprising how many still know very little about it.

I know a person who has a book site, and he swears by Squidoo because of the increased traffic his Lenses (as Squidoo call their pages) has brought to his site.

Why Create Your Own Squidoo Lens?

What is a lens? It's many different things. It's a small look at the world. It's a list of your favorite things. It's a way to share your resume or promote your business.

The best way to learn what a lens is is to create one. Play with it. Add stuff. Delete stuff. Move things around. You won't break anything.

Squidoo is a website hosting hundreds of thousands of handbuilt webpages ("lenses"). Each lens is one person's look at something online. Your take on football or business or the best thai food in town.

Lenses are free to set up.

Lenses pay a royalty to hundreds of charities. Or straight to you! And you decide the payout point, $1, $5, $10 etc.

Lenses get you credibility and traffic... and lenses only take a few minutes to build.

Some Benefits:

* You can highlight the best websites
* You can teach people about a concept
* You can do a poll to gauge what people think
* You can highlight an eBay auction

Register with technorati, digg and others and get seen.

Rate others` lenses and give them stars for how good you think their lens is. Once you`ve rated someone`s lens, just post in this thread to let them know, they can do the same for you. (Tip, if you don`t want low ratings it`s best not to publish your lens until it is completed, or somewhere close to completion).

If you like another lens, just go to it and click on Lensroll and that lens will have a link on your own lens.

If you join the SquidU Forum you can interact with other Squids, and if you want get the SquidU email letter sent each week.

If you`re not yet with Squidoo, why not sign up here. It`s absolutely FREE.

Temi, I`ve added your lens Yurts and Tipis on Squidoo to my Lensroll, which means that your link is now on mine.

Worth remembering too that all links, either internal, or external, are not `nofollow.`

Yes, the problem is that I do not know how to add other people to it, when I try to I get the error in the attached image.

Oh, I had that.

Basically, your lens is still in "Work In Progress" mode. Squidoo - to prevent spam - put lens' in that until it gets enough traffic or content (and it's quite a lot, look at mine and Teamplayer's for an example).

I'd wait. Hopefully the traffic from this thread will be enough, if you're still having problems in 24 hours, try padding out the content more.

Thanks very much for that, will add a few contents

My Lenses

Chester and Cheshire on Squidoo
North Wales Holiday Parks on Squidoo
Double Glazing and Conservatories on Squidoo

Hopefully we can all grow. I've added all the above lenses to what I perceive to be relevant categories
