I’m sure everyone has heard of Squidoo especially if you are trying to make any money from the Internet. I have over 200 lenses and have in the past loved the ranking power these lenses have. Google loves them to bits and with a bit of effort can get a PR3-4 lens with plenty of juice in about 6 months to a year.
But they have really ticked me off this time. They have changed their definition of what constitutes a spammy lens and has started to lock them. To date I’ve had five of my best performing lenses locked with no explanation or reason given. These lenses receive about 800 hits a day have pages of comments and no affiliate links except an Amazon module.
I’ve emailed Squidoo and to date have not had a single lens reinstated 
So I’m hacked off. I notice that Squidoo have increased the number of ads displayed on a page by adding text links (you have to opt out if you don’t want them).
What gives then? Squidoo increases it’s links (many of which are spammy) but tells us that certain niches are off limits (Diets, Colon cleansers etc). I think it’s outragous trying to pander to the big G (Google) and stiffing us in the mean time.
My advice is move Squidoo to Squidnoo and move it down your list of favourites. Squidoo used to be my number one place to start now it’s at about number six and it doesn’t get my best material.
So for me it’s a big Squdnooooooooo.
Good luck.
