Anybody Using Squidoo?

EDIT: I seem to have changed my title while spell checking. Don't think I can change it, it's obviously supposed to be squidoo.... I will release my super secret sea life marketing technique at another time.

I heard squidoo was a good way to generate some traffic, so I decided to give it a try. It really is a neat little site. These are my first attempts at making a lens:

http://www.squidoo.com/no-limit-hold-em-strategies/
http://www.squidoo.com/top-10-poker-books/

They have only been up for a few days, but I'm already seeing a decent amount of hits from them. I also started a poker group so feel free to drop by and add your site to the top resources list, or post about your lens in the discussion area.

I think there is a lot of potential here, if some of us get together I think we could do a good job to improve all of our squidoo rankings by linking/ranking/visiting each other's lenses.

Interesting idea, Ryan....can see the potential.
One question though. Your stategy page says:

"Our goal is to turn you into a formless assassin on the poker tables."

What exactly is a "formless assassin"? I already lost my shape from overeating and lack of exercise....or, are you going to teach me how to
dematerialize and murder people from the "ether"? (Hmm, well, I do have an ethernet connection...)

Anyways, I do enjoy browsing your sites.
But why would you have an ad for the Poker affiliate guy who says he is going to send you 9 poker bots (which do not belong to him) for free and a whole bunch of dvd's and books and tells you you can withdraw your $50 deposit from Party and then just play on the $50 bonus?

I really think you weaken your own credibility by shilling for someone like that. And you do have credibility in my eyes. I can see what you are trying to do with your site.

Oh, well....business is business, I guess.

A lot of the training sites focus on teaching one specific style (LAG, TAG, ETC). Getting stuck playing one way can cause some trouble for players, so we try to teach a style that mixes all the others together. If you mix it up enough so you become "formless" it really confuses all opponents.

If you're talking about the squidoo pages, I have no control over what they ads say. I believe squidoo uses Google AdSense. I was kind of disappointed when I saw one of the ads say "I made 16,000 cheating at poker" I wouldn't want someone visiting my page then getting ripped off by one of those guys, but I really don't think there is anything to be done about those Google ads.

If you're talking about my main site I definitely don't have ads of that sort there, I only have poker site ads up. Glad you like the pages though, squidoo seems to be a pretty promising site.

I think you can post affiliate links within your lens at Squidoo. Am I wrong on this?

You can definitely post affiliate links, they even encourage it.
