Squidoo
Michael Gray (a.k.a. Graywolf) has mentioned a site called Squidoo a few times, and today I finally decided to try it out. Squidoo, one of Seth Godin’s pet projects, allows you to create a “lens”, which is essentially a collection of links and other web resources collected around one subject. Anyway, Graywolf has been talking about how some of his squidoo pages are ranking in the SERPs, and I figured I might as well get in while there are still some good lens names still available. I picked up a few today, and I’ll probably grab a few more over the weekend, it just seems crazy to not pick up some potentially valuable web real estate when it costs me nothing but the few minutes it takes to set up a new lens. I’ll keep y’all posted on how this works.

[...] My original post on Squidoo can be found here. After less than a week, the first results from Squidoo are in. If you had done a search for “Nate Kartchner” a week ago, the 4th entry from the top would have been the #1 result for my name (it should be the post where I got moded for being wrong about the crane kick in “The Karate Kid”). However, the #1 and #2 results are both from Squidoo now. Granted, these aren’t actual lenses I’ve created, so I’m still awaiting final judgment, however, this is a good sign that the domain is picking up some trust from Google, which bodes well for my lenses. And I can’t believe how many quality lens names are still available. I’m picking them up as quickly as I can think of them, but there are still plenty, if you’re still interested in getting while the getting’s good. [...]
