Squidoo and Facebook Connect!

We've seen in the last few weeks Squidoo unite with Twitter for Twttrstrm, but Squidoo is stretching its tentacles even more! Facebook and Squidoo are now connected with Facebook Connect! What does this mean for you lensmasters? After you publish a lens, you will see the option to publish a "story" to Facebook, announcing your lens to all your friends on Facebook!

Getting your Squidoo Lenses noticed by Google

Contrary to popular belief, lens rank isn't what is important in getting your Squidoo lenses noticed. It's all about getting your lens recognized by Google, and other search engines! What way is there to do this? Well, first off, you could use SquidUtils.com, a resourceful site for Squidoo lensmasters. If you "Ping" your lenses, they get submitted to different engines like Google Blog Search, and etc.

Another, easier way to get your lenses listed by Google is to just post the link in other places! When Google sees more links to your lens, you move up in the Google chain! Instead of a #43 ranking, you could move up #19 ranking!

So just remember...promote your lenses! Get the links up on other websites, and you'll get noticed by Google eventually! SEO is a vital part for any website (or Squidoo lens)!

TWTTRSTRM Arrives!

Twttrstrm is an awesome new feature: Squidoo has teamed up with Twitter to have Squidoo duels! It's pretty awesome, and I've been loving it.

So far, I've made three lenses with Twttrstrm! My favorite one so far, though, is the most related to an upcoming holiday...Valentine's Day! Yes, I've been going crazy with the seasonal lenses, but that's ok. They're fun. :)

Is Valentine's Day Overrated?
Answer the question that everyone is wondering. Is it really a special day to celebrate with your loved ones, or do you think it's an over-commercialized holiday meant to sell more chocolates and teddy bears than usual? You respond!

Burger Shop Game - New Lens

Love playing those silly little computer games like Diner Dash, Wedding Dash, or...Burger Shop? Apparently there were no reviews of the Burger Shop game on Squidoo, so I had to make my own lens! The game costs $20 on average! Check out the lens!

Not to mention that with this new lens I just made, that means that I am now HALFWAY done to getting my 50 lenses so that I can apply to be a Giant Squid! Woot!

Reaching for Giant Squid Status

I love that feeling I get when I publish a new lens...I feel one step closer to Giant Squid status! Which is what I've decided is going to be my New Year's resolution!

So, my new goal is to make at least two lenses every week. I think it's working, since I've made 8 new lenses in the last 2 weeks, haha! I might change it to more often, since I really want to make the March 31st deadline. So far, I have 23 lenses (working on 24). And I have quite a few WIP lenses that I have to be working on.

I guess we'll see how I do by the end of this month. I'm nearly halfway there! Next Giant Squid deadline....March 31st! Go!

PS: Check out my new lens using Twttrstorm! Is Valentine's Day overrated?

Blessed and Featured!

It must have been my lucky Squidoo day yesterday, because I got my lens blessed by a SquidAngel, and both my new Valentine's lenses were featured in the SquidBlog! So those of you out there reading this, just a note, get to working on some Valentine's Day lenses! Holiday lenses may be seasonal, but they definitely get noticed in that season.
