I’ve been on Squidoo since August of 2007, but I haven’t really put much time or thought into it until lately. I have blogged before about some sites, like Flickr, being good for backlinks and SEO, but Squidoo, until now, had not really been a part of my strategy.
Now that I started Bears on Patrol, I took a second look at Squidoo because they raise money for charities with each lens that you create, if you specify in your settings that you would like your earnings to go to charity. I have sent the information to request that Bears on Patrol be listed as one of their charities, and I’m expecting that to be approved within a week.
Since I’m looking at Squidoo again, I’m starting to think about possible new lenses (which are Squidoo’s term for the “posts” or pages that you create). I have already written lenses about Bears on Patrol, my Zazzle gallery, and Blake’s Sublime Designs. I can see writing some more about amateur radio, especially my interest in using the radio to receive NOAA satellite images, and possibly Paint.NET and Inkscape tutorials.
There is definitely some potential there, and I am excited about getting others to specify Bears on Patrol as the beneficiary of their earnings once we are approved.
