This one is super easy. Adding a poll to your lens. But why would you WANT to add a poll to your lens? For these reasons: To find answers to questions you have about your topic (What’s your favourite color?) To add INTERACTIVITY! To get your visitors to buy something (the ultimate interaction with your lens), you should first try and get them to interact with you and your lens in a smaller way....

If you have nearly 20 rubbish lenses, be worried. Well, I say ‘rubbish’. What I really mean is an ‘unimproved’ lens. An unimproved lens is one of those lenses you have with less than 4 modules.

Did you know there are some lensmasters who will buy your lens from you? Why? Because they know they can do something with it, because they know the lens will earn adsense income each month, and because they are absolutely obsessed with Squidoo. The highest price paid for a lens (as of June 29th 2007) is $400. I was the one selling the lens. If you have a lens you no longer want, there are several...
