Greets everyone.
I see most of you already have well placed and ranked lenses.
This is a guide for those who may have skipped things.
As you know Squidoo have made a few changes...
============================================================
Hi there! Just a quick update from us to you. We made some small changes to the site in the last week or so, and wanted to give you a heads up...
1. Introducing Featured lenses vs. Work-in-Progress lenses: Featured lenses are those with a LensRank above a certain threshold. If your lens is featured, it shows up in Squidoo search results. Work-in-Progress lenses, on the other hand, have a LensRank below that threshold. If your lens is a WIP, it won't be featured in Squidoo search results. It will still be accessible, of course, via your direct URL and through search engines. Below you'll see new status icons next to each lens, to tell you which lenses are featured (green check mark) and which are not (gray minus sign). The best way to get featured and make sure your lens shows in Squidoo search results is to share good content, stay authentic, and promote your lenses to people who want to see them.
2. Undeveloped lenses: Lenses with only one or two content modules aren't usually as good as they could be. Now, when you publish what we call an "undeveloped" lens with only a few modules in it, we'll index it as Work-in-Progress. If your lens is currently appearing as unpublished, or as Work-in-Progress, there's an easy fix! Just edit it to add some of your favorite links, videos, pictures or products on that topic, and hit Publish again. Put your best foot forward, and you'll win.
3. Do you know about our Zero Tolerance Spam policy? Thanks to everyone who is helping keep Squidoo a clean, well-lighted, place! We've got the coolest community in town.
4. BONUS: Just for fun... How do YOU think the last Harry Potter book should end? Cast your vote. (No spoilers, please).

...Well I was caught on No.1 after being offline for a month. For starters, some of my lenses needed extra work due to new changes now required.
So what I did is go back into all my lenses and add other modules to keep them happy.
Yeah right...they wanted more than 3 modules before I was considered for Featured Lenses.
Thought to myself "Ok I'll give you modules!!!"
...I proceeded to check out all the modules. The more I played around the various modules the more I started to see things. Patterns and structures that were missing in my lenses. Things that when added would greatly increase Google ranking and rating. The modules seemed to compliment as well as cross reference many various and varied areas for marketing.
So with a few changes and additions I have redone all 16 lenses of mine.
I need you all to go and see the following for yourself.
Type into Google...
Honest Holly...or...
The Coolest Guy Around...and you will see they are ranked as No.1

http://www.myspace.com/entrepreneurlifestylesIf HTML has been switched off in Squidoo by the LensMaster then don't worry. Just means the person has an inactive link and must therefore Copy and Paste the URL link instead of being able to click on it.
If HTML is allowed in your comments then this way it back-links you to my Featured ranked lenses giving you even more exposure. Especially the lenses that are currently still Ranking as No.1 in Google.
Always TAG your name...this helps you find all your things in the massive mess we call the internet. Plus it is a good way to index everything you have done...
