Thus by next christmas his popularity will increase and your will stay at back door. They will promptly add no-index tag to your lens (remember you are number one in google for that keyword), and you will see that google de index your page and your competitor sitting there. But squid’s great great SEO’s do not know this. (Even a street dog knows that no body will search for “Christmas gift for girlfriend” on these month.
So even if your lens is number one for a high premium low volume christmas keyphrase, your lens is not going to have any traffic from february to november. They have a funny system in place that will automatically add no-index tag to all lenses that fall below a certain rank (say 400 000 now).
Yes it is a useless to write for upcoming festival for squidoo. They will be sending lot of requests and funny messages to you to write for upcoming festival. They will take that money and distribute that with the lenses that have less than 80 000 rank. What about you have a 100 lenses that each made 20 cents/month? You are not eligible for any money. All the other lenses and their lensmasters are ignored. Not only that they will pay revenue upt0 80 000 lenses. As a SEO guy I know that even 1st and 10th position in google got big big difference. 1st lens and 1000th lense gets same money!!!. Remaining money will be shared with other lens masters who is not eligible for that much. Why? Just imagine your article had 1 million page views in that month and we know that one million page views can earn around 1500 to 10 000 doller. In my view this is as if they take their part properly and just throw the other 50% to the street. First tier lenses get one amount (may be from 10 to 50 usd), 2nd tier gets another amount and 3rd tier gets much less (In cents some time). They will take their 50% of money and remaining 50% they share it in a 3 tier basis. Squidoo earnings: In my view they never took any real effort to make a logical way to share their revenue among writers. Easy to write system: Their system is very user friendly and publishing is fun with their system.50% revenue share is really reasonable and is a good amount Revenue share: They pay 50% of revenue share and looks like they are honest in that.Ok I will come to detail Squidoo Positives Squidoo will delete any lense, if they found there are lot of nofollw backlinks to your lense(so funny and stupid). (as a rule, any forum links, links from your own articles to bring traffic to your websites should have nofollow attribute as it is not an organic link. Google is asking to add the nofollow attribute to omit those links while calculating page rank. Nofollow Comedy: Google says add nofollow attribute when you are buying a link or just adding a link yourself, where you know that lot of traffic is there and you can get lot of traffic. You can see your competitor sitting there and happily sweeping the backlinks from the bloggers and social media bookmarking and getting more stronger by next Christmas.ģ. But no use, as the Christmas traffic fades, your lens rank will will go higher and higher, and by May or june, they will throw your lens out of google index, by automatically adding noindex tag in the header. For example your Christmas article (They call it as lens) may be number one in google, for a high sought key phrase for Christmas, and you might have made 100’s of dollar from amazon sale from christmas items and gifts. Holiday articles: They will send you lot requests and emails asking for special lens for Halloween, Christmas etc etc. But wait!!! they will give you maxim only 10 or 50 usd (tier one payment).Ģ. You may be eligible for 1000 US dollar in a month, as your article may have bought one million visitors in that particular month. 50% revenue share: They take 50% of total adsense revenue and share the other half with writers in a funny way. Note: If you are looking to make serious money then I recommend hubpages.
Hub page also have a fair and common sense policy for article moderation. You will also enjoy high quality neighborhood, as Hubpages have better quality articles. Their method of revenue share is far better than squidoo, as they show your adsense 2 times and their ads at one time (2:1). Hubpages is far better, in terms of revenue share (67% vs 50% of squidoo). Their methods and policy makes this site not good for writers, if they want to make money by writing. They share 50%t of the revenue in a non fairway :). In the past lot of people abused their platform, and now they are more strict and funny. Squidoo accepts articles from writers and share revenue with writers.
