Sometimes the video modules at Squidoo can be a torment. Here’s the best way to add the module to your lens. (In this example I’m using the Video module. It’s the same for the Youtube module) First find the video you want to display. Here’s a screenshot of the video I’m going to add from [...]

Linkspam can kill you
Posted on May 7, 2012 ·
You all know what linkspam is. Originally it appeared in internet guestbooks, where spammers would repeatedly fill a guestbook with links to their own site and no relevant comment. If an actual comment was given it was often just “cool page”, “nice website”, or keywords of the spammed link. (That’s just one of the reasons [...]

Links in Forum Signatures
Posted on October 1, 2011 ·
We all make nice sigs in our account at the SquidU Forums. We leave links to our favourite lens and very often to our blogs. This is a backlink of course and, although it’s not a very important one, it’s a backlink just the same. But do you actually look at someone’s sig? Do you [...]
Linking lenses to each other
Posted on August 26, 2011 ·
I told you recently about Modules that Google can’t See and I’ve been trying to think of another way to display links that will attract readers and also show up in Google. The Link List is perfectly well suited to show your links to readers and search engines alike, it’s just a pain to go [...]
Modules that Google can’t see
Posted on August 12, 2011 ·
I’ve been a devoted fan of the My Lens module since it was first launched and I’ve got at least one of them on every lens, but they’re no good! The bad news is – they are set to not be visible to Google. So the links aren’t visible to Google either! Neither is the [...]
My Lens Module
Posted on July 10, 2011 ·
One of the exciting modules in Squidoo is the My Lenses Module. I love the way it updates automatically, pulling in fresh content into a lens. As Squidoo normally updates when we’re asleep it’s always a little thrill to see fresh content has appeared overnight on my lenses while I was non compos mentis. You [...]
Christmas Ideas
Posted on July 9, 2011 ·
1. Make your own wishlist from Amazon products. Five is a good number or, if you want a lot of things, try 10. Use the Amazon Spotlight module, a wonderful module for featuring one product. Not sure how to use it? Here’s a recap of the Amazon Spotlight Module 2. I’m still looking for Christmas [...]
Sidebar Widgets

In the top right hand corner you will see Workshop Tools and Manage Widgets Click on the Manage Widgets Now [...]
Gotta Love that SquidLit!
Posted on June 15, 2010 ·
Have you given SquidLit a try? It’s a little ripper! SquidLit is a portal specifically for lenses about books and it practically creates itself. But like other Squidoo quickbuilders (wizards), there’s a right way to use it and a (very) wrong way. Why not open one now and have a look? Here’s the link to [...]
