Shoemoney to Host Adsense Rep

Shoemoney is hosting a Google Adsense rep on his radio show this week. Right now he is taking questions to ask the representative. There are already quite a few great questions listed on his blog so you may want to go over and get your burning question on the list. Should be a good show so don’t miss it.

Blog Spam

I find it amusing at some of the spam I get in the comments of this blog. I’m up to about 30 a day so I guess I’m getting popular. I really need to set up that Askimet plugin, if I could figure out how to get my API key I would but I guess I lost or deleted it when I first signed up for my word press account and I can’t seem to locate a link to get them to resend it.

Getting to the top of Squidoo

Well a week has went by in the Squidoo Challenge and I’m holding the number one slot with a rank of #89 for my lens at http://www.squidoo.com/affiliate-marketing-guide

I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to hold onto this position as there are some very talented people in this contest and several are coming up fast. I’ve actually learned a lot about Squidoo as a result of this contest and I really want to share some of it. Alot of people focus on the stars and think that has everything to do with gaining rank, I’m not so sure that has a lot to do with actual rank. I’m sure it is considered in the ranking formula, but I don’t think its as important as some of the old time lensmasters think. One of the most important aspects of ranking is fresh content. You have to keep the lens fresh or it won’t continue to rise in the ranks. There are also some other tricks that will help you rise even more. The key is to read the help files and observe what modules the most popular lenses use. I believe the modules you employ also contributes to how your lens ranks. I have no hard evidence to this but its would appear that certain modules can help you rank better.
