Squidoo lens

Že pred časom sem naredil nekaj Squidoo lensov in nato na njih pozabil, ker sem opazil, da so linki nofollow.

Danes pa sem prebral, da povezave postanejo dofollow, če je tvoj Squidoo lens live. Moji so vsi work-in-progress.

Ima kdo kakšen nasvet, kako spraviti lens v live status?

Žal imam za vse, ki so na Squidu in tukaj objavljamo svoje leče eno slabo novico. Tole, kar je spodaj copy-paste, se je pojavilo na FB skupini http://www.facebook.com/groups/15945307607/

Glede na napisano se mi zdi, da se nam, ki smo tukaj objavljali svoje leče in izmenjavali lajke ne obeta nič dobrega. Mislim, da nas čaka zaklepanje leč, ban računov,.....

Za tale prispevek sem se na novo registriral na IM, ker če na ta forum uletijo Squidoo administratorji, nočem da vedo kdo je napisal ta prispevek.

Copy-Paste iz FB objave:

I've sent some feedback to HQ. It's one of those communications that one probably shouldn't send but the lens that prompted, a product of the circumstances discussed last night, got to me:

Feedback: What do you want us to know?

What do I want you to know? I want you to know just how wearying it is to spend time producing honest lenses and then see trite piles of badly spun horse manure like this with 72 Likes, bounced from one cheating lensmaster to another. It's wearying to see the Slovenian mafia posting any old crap and using everything from explicit mutual Like circles to illegal accounts to gain advancement.

Paul Ward Apologies to the honest lensmasters from that part of the world - some of your countrymen are letting you down badly.

Belinda Whitaker Hopefully you'll have better luck with your feedback than I did! I reported one of these about a week back. A solid tier one lens with average traffic...except one day a week when it shoots up to over 2000 visits in a single day. I sent an email with that lens and about 3 others by the same person--same scenario. No response and the lenses are still going strong. I hate to say it, but I've reported a few blatant ones and seen nothing done, so from here out I'm ducking my head and concentrating on sales. Tier 1 & 2 Lensrank is almost impossible to achieve ethically anymore. (Except for the old-timers who are experts, of course! And even they are getting hammered by lenses like these.)

Barbara Hart Radisavljevic My once Tier 1 lens is now Tier 3. HubPages is also putting hubs to sleep so people can't see them and internal links to them won't work. Maybe I should forget trying to remake things that were considered complete at one time when it's a vain exercise, and just host them myself. I just doubt if I can get that much traffic to a self-hosted site. I have to admit having a community helps with traffic generation.

Pat Thompson Months ago I reported a lot of those lenses with no response, so I stopped reporting them. I guess if they are making money for $squidoo, that's all that matters. I have a 5+year old lens that has had the same consistent traffic all along and a constant 2nd tier rank until this month...same traffic but now 3rd tier.

Paul Ward You do indeed have to take the rough with the smooth - but it's good to kick the rough in the goolies every now and again

AJ Ashley Paul - I do hope that was a typo and you meant "kick" not "lick"!!!

But seriously, I manage to retain my sanity by not reporting anymore (waste of time and too upsetting when you get ignored) and looking at Tier payments as a bonus.

But it is hard not to get upset when you see good lenses pushed down by the cheats.

Rhonda Sachs Albom Well done Paul. We have just returned after 7 months of extensive world travel and I have so much to write, I am just wondering if Squidoo is the right place anymore. First I am trying to recover what I lost with the lack of attention - am I wasting my time with that too? I am really out of the loop.

Allen McCloud I report lenses all the time, as I come across a lot of squidon'ts. I've shot down a whole account with warez in it (over 20 lenses), one lens that was on a 2-digit tier 1 rank and got over 700 visitors a day. A smaller lens, too. And I recently reported a tier 1 with thousands of visitors a day that sells scammy weight loss products. When I report a lens, I also do it to test what stays and what doesn't. For the lens with the thousands of visitors/day, I actually wrote to the staff that I'll be watching, and if it stays, I'll assume it's legit and I can make one for its rather lucrative keywords myself. We'll see what they do. Anyway, the more undeserved tier 1 lenses I snipe off the website, the more empty spots get available. Tally-ho, everyone

Phallin Marie can someone show me an example of one of these cheating lenses, I'm just curious what they are like.....or would that be giving them more promotion?

Lee Hansen Like AJ and Paul, I've given up bothering to report. They just ignore me it seems. So I follow suit and am putting attention elsewhere.

Barbara Hart Radisavljevic Phallin Marie, I don't know which ones are current, but I saw a few when I was an angel that definitely were out of line. I would ding them, but they'd still go back up in rank. That's one reason I quit being and angel. I felt its was wasted effort for time I didn't really have.

Lee Hansen I'm still angeling and I'm still not bothering to do anything except bless if worthy and/or like if quality. I walk away ALOT.

Nancy Carol Brown Hardin I'm still angeling too, but I think I expect a lot more in a lens these days than what I am seeing. I do bless the ones it seems like the person spent some time thinking through and writing, if they have their photos correctly attributed and all other things being equal.

Deborah Baumann Caikoski I haven't reported a lens in about 6 months, and please believe me, I used to be very very active in trying to get the 'crap' off of squidoo. Just before Tom came on board I was feeling very ignored with my reports, especially if they were about any lensmaster that was 'known' on the forum. When Tom came, I thought 'yea-hoo', someone to cover the job, but it seems he's been religated to many other duties than getting rid of cheaters. He really did try at the beginning, and would reply to reports, but I think he's overwhelmed now.

Nancy Carol Brown Hardin That's entirely possible Deborah, they really don't have enough staff to handle all the members and the associated problems. I feel rather bad for all of them, because they get blamed for everything, but they only have two hands and two eyes each. That doesn't allow them to be everywhere.

Marika Charalambous I did report one yesterday, sent email with screenshots where the guy actually admitted in a forum that he was buying fake likes and getting tons of Clickbank sales to shady make money online products. So far no report from HQ, but I don't want to give up hope just yet...

Ne verjamem, da bo do česa prišlo. Izmenjujemo si lajke, pa kaj? Važno, da so leče kvalitetno napisane in izdelane in da niso proti squidoo don'ts. Tudi meni samo ena leča drži v tier 2 ostalo je že vse na 40.000+ pa ne jokam zaradi tega.

Nisi potreboval novega računa za to povedat :)

In kaj bi bilo tukaj spornega za nas? Sej tole ni nič novega. Slo like mafijo pa verjetno mislijo prodajo squidoo lajkov na iverrju, kjer res dominiramo ;). Sam upam, da niso tolk neumni, da klikajo na url-je kar iz fiverrja in d a poskrbijo, da jer referral link kak fb ali podobno.

Idioti Americki ! Ne mogu oni nas sa svih stranica obrisat. Oni kad zaradjuju to je OK , kad mi zaradjujemo onda nije ok ? NJihovi lensovi bolji jer im je to maternji jezik ? Ma vraga !

Pa še ironično je to, da se bunijo na tem groupu čez organizirane kroge, ki si umetno lajkajo leče. A ne vedo, da so tud sami del take organizirane skupine?

Tile starešine na squidoo se precej bojijo konkurence. Žal je danes tako, da samo vsebina ni več dovolj, če želiš biti uspešen, ampak tega stare gospe in gospodje nočejo slišati.

Je pa verjetno tukaj prisotne tudi nekaj fovšije, ker sami niso del tako dobro organizirane skupine.

Ne bomo se sekirali, gremo dalje:
Get Well Gifts

Hvala, ker sem lahko del te fantastične skupnosti!

Ravno o tem sem razmišljal danes, če bo slučajno potrebno pripravit kakšen odgovor. Tam nekje nekdo omenja 70likov in več. Pa saj nas ni tukaj toliko. Vse tiste fb skupine so pa narejene zato, da se izmenjuje promet in liki. Ali mi je mogoče kaj ušlo, da ima kdo kakšen drug razlog, da na dan objavi 5 leč?. Mislim pa, da je pomembno to, da imaš like iz različnih strani in na različne strani (s tem mislim, da nebi imeli mi le med sabo, ostalo pa nič). Vsaj jaz delam tako.
So me pa vrgli ven iz tiste FB Skupine, verjetno zato, ker sem član SLO mafije - Sedaj US vsaj ve, kje je Slovenija :))

Jaz pa sedaj nimam nobene nove :)

Naša tema ni nič drugačna od drugih FB skupin. Objaviš link do nove leče, kjer dobiš en backlink, s tem pa posledično še kakšen like, komentar, share itd. Nihče ne prosi za like (to je prepovedano na Squidoo) ter nihče jih tudi ne prodaja tukaj. Se pravi smo legalni.

Smo le skupnost, tako kot vse ostale skupine. Ne vem, kje tukaj vidijo goljufanje in da mi krademo zaradi tega njihov zaslužek. Like je le en zelo majhen del lensranka in nič drugega. Za zaslužek je potrebno veliko več, kot pa dobiti nekaj like-ov!

Škoda je vseh negativnih komentarjev iz njihove strani, v bistvu s tem škodijo le sebi.

Vseeno pa predlagam, da bi se ta tema dala na zasebno in da jo imamo zase. Določiti bi se morali samo administratorji oz. nekdo, ki bi dodajal nove ljudi k temi. Lahko se s tem ukvarjam tudi jaz sam. Kaj o tem mislite vi?
