In the Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint I talk about setting up a blog to support your lenses. This can be a blogger blog, it can be a sel hosted wordpress blog, it can be a tumblr blog ~ it can really be pretty much anywhere. The one place it can NOT be is at wordpress.com. The terms of service at wordpress.com expressly prohibit sites that are for monetary gain or linking to other sites to support search engine ranking.

September 24, 2009 By 48 Comments
When you create a lens you probably check the stats ~ you know the search volume, the competition, how many other lenses there already are on Squidoo for your topic.
