To anyone reading this since 2010… Groups are now dead and buried!

Squidoo killed them off to focus solely on lenses instead.

I have always wondered about squidoo groups. I need to get on with it.

I haven’t made any of my own groups, but do add my lenses to groups that others have made. Does that help, too?

Your post on tags and their current impotence (thanks for the explanation) and now groups are virile and receive more attention from Google, I understand. However, why were groups created in the first place, and what is the intended purpose and function of a group? And best use?

Thanks

@Gia – It’s really amazing how fast Squidoo works sometimes!
@Paul – I am considering making more groups than lenses because of this!

@Art – thanks for noticing! I just fixed it. I didn’t mean to write Google groups.

hi lewis another great post – and the idea works – all you have to do is study what the giants do and it then becomes obvious.
