    I again think this is right place to post here. Bcoz I found lots of squidoo lover post here in link developement.

    As we all know squidoo.com is good to have link building. But today i find one post on squidoo blog and would like to share it with you.

    The post say that squidoo lens builder software are not allowed in theire TOS. They are coding to stop such lens builder.

    But in next line Seth Godin Say "If we partner with someone to create a lens builder helper that’s approved, we’ll tell you on this blog and on our site"

    The full detail will be here Squidoo lens builder

    I dont knw as a lensmaster i dont want lots of spammed lens..
    I think we dont need any such lens builder. What you Say??

    Quite right too. I build lenses, they're great way of generating quick and relevant backlinks, and you can add to them over time to grow them into their own money making sites to your portfolio.

    Spam would be a huge problem, and creating thousands of squidoo pages in profitable niches with great keywords would completely devalue Squidoo, so congratulations to Seth for stopping it!

    Yep try using real squidoo lenses and not auto generated ones. After all what are you losing other than time to do the work.

    i just starting building squidoo lens .. and i just found out that Squidoo is nofollow ... and i always thought that it's a dofollow which is good for link building...

    or did Squidoo just changed to nofollow cos of too much spamming ?

    If or when Squidoo allows an automated lens builder it'll most likely be made in such a way that it can't be used as a prolific spam tool.

    I think that was their greatest fear. And rightly so.

    Question for everyone:
    What is your average ctr % to your page (if your promoting a site) on squidoo?

    Yep, it's official the tool is out of business. The links at squidoo are dofollow, you just need to wait they come with a green circle (which means published and aproved)

    Squidoo has a number of official 'lens building' tools (ish), for example ever.com, squidwho.com, squidvids.com and more. A full list can be found here: Squidoo Co-Branding.

    hey I am busy and just visited the forum. I give you one tip to give backlink to your squidoo lenses.

    Create squidoo love as I have created.

    Did anyone earn from Squidoo??
