The amazing thing about one Amazon link on your Squidoo lens or web page is that it can lead to several sales to the same person in one go.
Many people make a lens or page containing many links to different products on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or other Amazon sites in your targeted countries. That’s not a bad thing to do as long as your page is interesting enough to keep visitors reading and looking at your links. This is why it’s important to make your links to Amazon products relevant to the subject of the lens.

I had so much trouble writing my latest lens, Celebrate National Women’s Friendship Day. I struggled with it for days and I was on the point of deleting it even though it was kind of finished. I just didn’t think it was particularly good.
As a last resort I posted a link on the Fresh Squids Forum and asked for help and got some good suggestions which I implemented. I’m delighted to report that the page was awarded a Purple Star yesterday.

Big Ben, London, UK
I’ve said before I like making quizzes on Squidoo so it’s no surprise that I’ve just done another one – How Well Do You Know London?
Like the other quizzes I’ve done, this one supports my existing pages on London. As I’ve done several of these, I hope that it will increase traffic to them.
One thing I’ve not done yet is to link to the quiz from my other London pages and that’s just because I’m away from home at the moment. I shall do it as soon as possible, though, so that people who are interested in reading about London are sent to the quiz.
I did list my other quizzes on the new one and they have all had increased visitor numbers over the last week so it shows Squidoo pages do send people from one lens to another. I never doubted this, actually!

Every morning since the beginning of September I’ve trawled through lenses on Squidoo looking for ones to bless. I have to bless a minimum of five a day. Some days it’s fairly easy and quick to find them, other days it can take hours and involve looking at an enormous number of pages.

It’s true – since September 1st I’ve blessed 105 lenses on Squidoo counting those I did today. What’s amazing is the wide variety of subjects covered on the network. There are pages on just about every topic you can think of. The very first one that got a blessing from me this month was The Great Depression Era – 1930s while number 105 is about the Day of the Dead.
In between those two are pages about calligraphy, patchwork quilting, dogs, flowers, music, autism, recipes and just about everything else you can imagine.
You can see the complete list on Angel in Disguise.

The role of Squidoo Angels has changed slightly for this new intake of Angels. I’m lucky to be accepted again because I love the chance to bless outstanding lenses. We now have to bless a minimum of five lenses a day for about a month. At that time, new Angels will be appointed although we can re-apply.
Today I blessed a mixture of new and old lenses. They are:

I see the heading “My Lens Needs a Blessing” often on Squidoo’s Angels Forum and it always makes me want to shout, “No, it doesn’t!”
Quite often the body of the post reads like the writer thinks an Angel’s Blessing is something to which he or she is entitled just by virtue of finishing a lens.

It looks like I’ve beaten my writer’s block with the post I wrote about it.
This week I’ve written two new Squidoo lenses (web pages). The first one was in response to a suggestion on Get Cracking With Bonnie and Robin to write about a specific fear so I wrote about my dental phobia. As I explain, it started when I was a child in response to something a dentist said to me and it continued for many years. It was desperation that finally led me to conquering it with the help of a very understanding, patient and sensitive dentist. You can read more about it on Fear of the Dentist.

We are now in the final few days of May and we really should be working hard on summer web pages for Squidoo or other web sites.
People are now thinking about their summer vacations, recipes, drinks, clothes and many other associated topics. We need to have the information ready and waiting for them now.
