I have been on Squidoo for over 4 years, although it has only been within the past 6 months that I have been working more seriously at it. My top rated lens is that very first one I put up - on free plastic canvas patterns. It is in tier 1 for payments and keeps me motivated to produce more quality lenses. One lesson I learned over time was the importance of refreshing your lenses periodically.
My free plastic canvas patterns lens has been steadily earning since I put it up. However last year, I noticed I wasn't getting regular payments from Squidoo anymore. When I did some investigating, my lens rank had gone way up. (The lower your lens rank, the better.) The lens hadn't been updated since I put it up, so I shouldn't be too surprised. However, when I updated the lens, the lens rank steadily improved. Since then, I have tried to refresh it every month or so. What a difference that has made! The lens is back in tier one and remains there.
So the point of this post... refresh your lenses regularly, especially your top ranked ones. You could be missing out on income if you don't. I would suggest editing your top lenses monthly to keep them fresh.
In that spirit, I went in and refreshed my Make Your Own Zhu Zhu Pet Clothes lens. It hadn't been updated in a year so I know it could be doing better in lens rank. Other than that, I still need to finish my geocaching for kids lens. I have started a doc file with all my Squidoo lens ideas. Much better than keeping them on scraps of paper that somehow end up in the trash :)
Happy Squidooing!
