Mozilla Firefox & Squidoo Lenses- Easy Add Content


Some of the most useful tools that I use to add content to my squidoo lenses, whether they are content oriented or commerce, are the Mozilla Firefox extensions. As I am browsing the internet, for news or following great links, if I find something relevant to one of my lenses, I use that tool to place it in my lens.

You must have a link module for this to be useful to you, but if you don't you are given the option of creating a new one. Once you add your link, if you like it will publish your lens for you as soon as you've finished.

Be careful, though, because in this way I have published a number of lenses before their time!

Since great content and good links are all needed for good Google rankings, I suggest you try out the extension and see how you like it!

Peacocks Pressing Right Along!


In the Mall on Squidoo, we are just like a peacock with his tail down. Strutting along, pressing right along, and hopefully when we receive visitors our tail fans out and we show our best and most beautiful.

The star ranking algorithms as they are stand. According to Gil, it is inaccurate to say that they are 'broken' though there are many who have felt that way. So, since it appears that there will be no major changes that make the algorithm more predictable, it is time to go through each of the individual feathers in the Mall and shine them up!

I am reinstating the star ranking that I give to each lens that comes across my desk, just as I explained in my tutorials. We will count on all those factors being the primary ones in play as they have been since I started.

I will also be looking for additional things that will be important in your lensrank, but more importantly, we will be looking for GOOGLE rankings, which will be the place where your primary customers come from.

If we can spruce the place up, we won't need star rankings to be the lovely peacock at Squidoo!
