Featured Lenses/ Works in Progress

Wow the changes since I last blogged! They also will make a HUGE difference in how I see and promote YOUR lenses in the Mall on Squidoo GROUPS.

There is almost too much to write about for weeks on end.

The first change that is good to talk about is the Featured Lenses/Works in Progress lenses.

On your new dashboard you will see little green checks or a grey - sign. This will tell you if your lens is a Featured Lens or a Work In Progress lens.

We had seen the adsense revenues for even the top lenses dropping month by month, due to the increasing number of undeveloped lenses also sharing in adsense revenues.

Headquarters has rectified this and has established a tight tier system for lenses which awards the adsense pool based on quality, traffic and other factors. Unpublished or undeveloped lenses will no longer share in the adsense pool and dilute it for the performing lenses.

Now the top tier of lenses received $3.80 in adsense revenues alone, making such a page worth approximately $900 on the open market! This is without considering the value of additional revenues the page may be generating.

Squidoo has graduated from a purely fun site with lots of potential to a serious investment grade site.

As I continue to work on updating the Mall group, this new system restores the usefulness of lensrank when I consider how I will feature and promote the Mall on Squidoo and its member lenses.

NOW is a great time to work on your Works in Progress lenses and make something great out of them~

Tutorial: Four Stars- Rock Star!

If you have received 4 stars from me, this means that YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!!

You will likely be featured as a NOT TO MISS STORE. I may write a review of your commerce lens and blog it, just for fun. You may discover that your lens is lensrolled into the Mall on Squidoo lens. It may even be favorited. I may have already emailed it to other great lensmasters to see, or to friends or family. I will purposely visit ALL YOUR OTHER LENSES AND THIS TIME, I will do the same. I will email the best ones to other great lensmasters to look at. I will email them to family and friends. If possible, I will lensroll them into one or more of my own lenses or groups. I will keep your best lenses in mind for good contests, or for a review. I will favorite each one that I really like. I will consider you among the first bunch of FEATURED LENSMASTERS.

How do you get this?

You'll have a great intro. You will have great information about your products. Great pictures. Your lens will be focused. Your bio will be pertinent to this specific lens. I will be convinced that you have done everything you can to take care of the customers. Your mugshot will show up in other lenses by comment, you will be participating in the blog, in the lounge, in contests. I will see other lenses in your lensrolls.

A four star rating from me means that you are a winner, someone to watch, and a great example of a great squidoo'er.
