Fun Squidoo Polls

I love taking polls, and here on Squidoo, both the participant and the lens master can earn points from polls, which is great.
So I figured I would create a lens purely for polls, mostly based on Squidoo, but some other random polls too, so watch out for those.  See more.....

I did a lens about Banksy. Grafitti artist.

Banksy is someone I admire, not just for his talented artwork, but for the messages he portrays in them. He is controversial and has a way of getting that message across. Quite often Banksy has featured in the news for some stunt he has pulled which involves a piece of his artwork.   A while ago, a group of us started a little project, trying to get people more aware of Banksy and his work, so this lense includes some of that work.  Banksy: Graffiti Legend.

A day of creating backlinks to my Squidoo lenses.

Today my aim is to create back-links to all my lenses and add all those places I submit to on here to give others ideas of where they can also submit to. Building backlinks helps greatly, not only with your lense rank, but also with Google ranking.

• Redgage
• She Told Me
• Lensroll
• Squid Directory
• Clipmarks
• Jumptags
• My Link Vault 
• Digg (Not only submitting a link to Digg, but also adding links to your profile under settings)
• SquidU  - Join the Squidoo forum and create a link in your signature to one of your lense and this will create a backlink for you. The more you participate, the better.
• InfoPirate

Cool things I have learned so far on Squidoo.....

Firstly, I have learned not only to spice up my Squidoo lenses, but also my blogs with these cool borders. Here are the lense that have helped me do this: HTML Border backgrounds and HTML tips for color  Both of which I recommend you taking a look at if you want to add a bit of spice and personality to your lenses.

 

Below are some other cool lenses and sites that have also been very useful to a newbie like myself.

My Squidoo journey begins.....

I've actually been a member of Squidoo for over two years now, but never realised what potential this great site held. So over the last week or two I've been creating lenses and reading up on what others are doing and how the whole site works.                                                                                    I did have one lense on there already, but without Amazon or eBay products on sale.... silly me didn't realise that was another money making opportunity too! Anyway, that lense has earned me a grand total of $0.28 so far and I didn't even do anything with it promotion wise.                                                                                                                                                                                                              So here my Squidoo journey begins and I have 11 lenses up and running now, with my best lens currently at a rank of 6265 which is titled My online earnings.   This is going to be my diary on how I am progressing on Squidoo and along the way I will share my earnings and any useful tips with you.
