    Default Squidoo Voting and Lensroll Idea

    I have seen this done before and its been quite effective for the Squidoo link lovers out there.

    My proposal is as follows:

    Each person can post up to 4 of their lenses
    The Next person in the thread
    - visit each lens of the previous poster ONLY.
    - vote 5 stars on each of the lenses.
    - include each lens in a lensroll or favourite it.

    To Lensroll a lens :

    To include the lens you are viewing in your Lensroll just click on the smily face link under "save and share" on the left of the page and then chose one of your lenses where you want to link it from and hit "continue".

    To favourite a lens press "favourite it" under your blue edit box on the right of the page.

    Here are my lenses as a starter: (next person please vote and lensroll or favourite or both!)

    Thanks.

    I participated in a scheme like the one you propose on another forum, however, I do not do it any longer. Squidoo frowns highly on trading ratings. In fact, the scheme is termed "fools gold ratings" and you can read about it here (see #18). Squidoo now has algorithms in place that detect mass ratings or ratings trades.

    Reminds me, I need to write a blog entry on all the wrong things I've done that I no longer do.

    Also, I can tell you from experience (200+ lenses) that ratings do not matter any more. Or at least they have little effect on lensrank. This lens had only 5 or 6 ratings early on and was in (and still is) the top 20 lenses at Squidoo. It's all about traffic.

    BTW, here is a lens that shows that lensrank is about traffic at Squidoo. Today, the lens has lensrank of 50 and by all intents and purposes, the lens sucks! The lensmaster didn't even bother to change the default titles in the few modules he has. He got lucky in finding a phrase/topic that receives search engine traffic. Also, you'll notice he only has 10 feedback, with an average of 3!

    I don't know much about squidoo other than i did post one lens. That lens shows up for number two rankings in google ca but not as well in regular google. Maybe if i would have optimized it a little better i probably could have pulled a better ranking in google.

    I don't see the need in using such a scheme to get good links, it seems like you will have to mingle with people and once they get to know you and like, they will link to you. just try to network with others and show love and the love will come back.

    It is always better to learn from others mistakes, but I am sure that we have all made our fair share. I have recently been building Squidoo lenses too and it does appear that ranks have little effect on the overall success of a lens.

    Would I be showing my age if I asked, what is: Squidoo & Lenses?

    What and how are they used for real estate web sites?

    Here ya go!

    And yes, folks use Squidoo to garner real estate related traffic, as well as a source of inbound links to their real estate website.
