The Three Stooges of Online Communities

Mar 10, 2008 in Uncategorized

You’ve seen them on blogs, forums, and most of all YOUTUBE. They are the stooges of the internet and they can break any online community.

The flamers out there criticize every comment or post with a long explanation of why they do, the haters just well… hate everything and and don’t bother to explain, and the spammers fill up message boards with gibberish.

They have one thing in common… they ruin the online experience.

Just check out this video.

A Squidoo Lens Stockpile

Mar 10, 2008 in Squidoo

The numbers getting up there.  This week I published 5 more lenses that are already indexed and receiving a healthy amount of traffic.   No sales though, boooooooo!  I did go back and mess with the keywords though on some of them, so hopefully the boost in traffic can spit out a sale or two.

That would be ideal.

What isn’t cool is that one of my larger lenses (by larger I mean by the amount of traffic it gets) lost a lot of hits this week.  I’m guessing a competitor came in and yoinked it from me… oh well, thats how the internet works.

5 more lenses coming soon.

No Sales, Just Traffic

Mar 04, 2008 in Squidoo

This is an update on the squidoo competition.

I now have 15 lenses that bring in about 150 visitors a week. 4 of the lenses were active on squidoo and indexed in google the next day, which is very impressive.

Now how much money have I made thus far? Well… no sales on clickbank, but I did make one sale through Amazon which puts me $1.43 ahead. Woohoo! No sales for Garet, but hey, I guess we still have till the 19th of this month.

I didn’t get around to releasing 20 lenses, but I did add more content to them and plan on publishing them shortly.
