Woot-Lens 37!

I've published my 37th lens! Looking for The Office videos? Watch full episodes online! Find the links at this Squidoo lens, updated weekly with every new episode! Hulu.com puts up the latest 5 episodes every week, so find the links here! Also, you can find some hilarious The Office videos from YouTube, buy the seasons on DVD, and more!

In other news, I really like the SquidUtils toolbar. I've been using it a lot since I installed it. And tomorrow I'll be posting my review of the two new modules Squidoo has added.

Leave a comment, tell me what you think of my new lens! And don't forget to bookmark this blog for future updates!

SquidUtils Toolbar!

Remember that post about pinging and Squid Utils from just a few days ago? Well just recently, SquidUtils.com released their Toolbar!

Here's a screencap of it from my own window, in case you want to see...


From what I see so far, this toolbar is very useful! I've already been using it some, and I love it! Here's a list of the main features of the toolbar...

Main Features
  • Keep up to date with the latest blog posts from Squidoo HQ
  • Switch easily between multiple Lensmaster accounts
  • Quick access to your dashboard, with notification of Lensrank updates
  • Rate, favorite and comment on lenses without scrolling up and down
  • Submit a lens to social bookmarking sites and lens directories
  • Build a new lens with any of the co-brands
  • Direct access to all the tools you love at SquidUtils.com

Check out the Squidoo lens for more information on the new toolbar!

Ping! It works!

If you're a Squidoo Squidmaster and you haven't visited (or used) SquidUtils.com yet, you should go...run!

SquidUtils has tons of widgets that are great for lensmasters...you can edit your lenses, see all your groups, and have access to utilities and tools that are very helpful.

Check out the lens to learn more about SquidUtils, or better yet, just check out the site!

But this post is about more than just using SquidUtils: specifically, it's about the Pinging. What is Pinging? Ok, it's a verb I just made up, but on SquidUtils, it actually means submitting your lens to multiple search engines! How much easier can life get with this!? And from what I see from my lenses so far, all my lenses that have been "pinged" get more traffic from Google and MSN, some of them even getting traffic within hours of being published! Now, it's not all concrete that it is actually the "pinging" that is helping out my lenses, but I highly suggest everyone out there who Squidoos' (more verb inventing) to go and "Ping" your lenses! It's free and it won't hurt!

Well, there's my tip for the day. I'm done procrastinating from those 2 essays I have to write as well as a plethora of math.
