2006's - 2009's BEST AnomalyMan Listings

The AnomalyMan Listing has been one of Squidoo's top pages for over 3 years - bringing a mix of Heavy News and High Strangeness to the World. This lens will become the archive for all the great links that appeared in the Daily Section of the AnomalyMan Listing.

So, spend some time here; and, get to know the page - there is a lot of material that is updated nearly weekly as I transfer links over to this page  - so you might want to bookmark this page and return later too.

Thanks for visiting - now - onto the content.

The Top 10 AnomalyMan Links Of 2006 

I started the AnomalyMan Listing in 2006 under the name Anomalies, The ParaNormal, and Mind Perceptions. In those days I rarely saved links, so these few that I saved in 2006 were the super special links. The kind you still come to The AnomalyMan Listing today to read.

Every link here is special and works. Take a minute for some great esoteric links.
Number One - The O'Hare Ufo Incident
My original description - "So far, this is clearly the number one UFO incident of the century. On Nov. 7th, at less than 1,500 ft, a UFO appeared above one of the gates at O'Hare airport in Chicago. The incident, in broad daylight, in restricted airspace, begs for a explanation beyond the FAA's denial of Jan. 2007. Indeed, in my blog www.theheavystuff.com you can read just what I wrote about the incident. It's the kind of analysis that you won't find on your hometown editorial page.

But, via THIS LINK, you can read the original description of the event. If you are NOT familiar with the whole affair - you need to read up on it. Ranked the number one anomaly of 2006."

I have many posts on my blog about this incident - please check out www.theheavystuff.com for much more.
Number Two - The UNCracked Duck Egg Miracle
Original Description - "Until eclipsed by the O'Hare incident, this story appeared a shoe-in for Fortean Story of the year. The story is that an uncracked duckegg was found on the shore; noticing movement - the shell was cracked open to find THREE MINNOWS inside of the egg. The picture on this one is - as they say - priceless - you must see it. How do you explain this one?"

You must see this picture.
Number Three - Did 2006 Have Another SETI `WOW' Signal?
Original Description - "In 1977 - at Ohio State University there was the famous WOW signal of the SETI program --- but, did another happen in 2006 that was `covered up'? Would they really tell the public about `other life' in the universe in this manner - don't hold your breath."

This is a quick read.
Number Four - Top 10 Cryptozoo Pictures Of The Year 2006
Original Description - "Please hit this link -- you must see the sea serpent picture - wow. And, I mean WOW. Very recommended link."

10 Pictures You Have To See.
Number Five - The One That DIDN'T Get Away
Original Description - "You have to see the fantastic picture of the giant catfish these men caught in Spain. You've heard stories of these huge fish before swimming near your hometown dam right(?) --- see one for yourself here."

Amazing Picture.
Number Six - Best Detective Story Of 2006
Original Description - "World's very rarest coins were `found' at a US mint in 2006 --- if you have the slightest interest in coin collecting you will want to read this or e-mail this story to someone who is a coin collector. Amazing story."

If you only read one story - this is it - you will send this to a friend if you read it.
Number Seven - Edge Of Cosmology
Original Description - "In 2006 a particle was discovered which had the characteristic of `going-between' matter and antimatter `trillions' of times per second. To me, the most amazing thing of this story is that such a small measurement of time is even possible with instruments."

Best Science Link Here.
Number Eight - Brain Dead?
This is the incredible story of a `vegatative comatose' patient and the research done with and on her that determined that her mind was far from `vegatative'. Excellent two minute read.
Number Nine - Bigfoot 2006
Original Description - "The search goes on (and on) for the elusive creature - occasionally even breaking thru to the TV media."

Great story including the Indian History of Bigfoot.
Number Ten - Smile For The Invisible Drone
Original Description - "Invisibility seemed to be nearly here-now in 2006 - this is one example of such stories beginning to surface."

Super science here on this one.

The Top AnomalyMan Links Of 2007 

I started what is now called the AnomalyMan Listing back in March 2006 as a way to keep track of the links I'd found on the web and that I enjoyed. By 2007, my webpage on Squidoo - called Anomalies, ParaNormal and Mind Perceptions - began to change as I started to `market' the website and started my main two blogs.

These links from 2007 were the BEST of the best - don't miss them.
Proof on a Navy Seals Video
I ran the hottest link of 2006 on my lens for all of 2007 --- now, here's your chance to be blown away with one of the ultimate stories out there. The story is that Navy Seals observed and videotaped a `troop' of humaniods with spines running down their backs in a jungle. Amazing if true.
The O'Hare Ufo Incident Pictures
On Nov. 7th, 2006 -- something was observed over a gate at O'Hare Airport in Chicago ---- in broad daylight. Several pictures emerged and more will be below too.

http://ufos.about.com/b/a/256856.htm
The Austin Texas Ufo
With the release of the Haiti UFO this year (a huge fake that made the media) Who KNOWS anymore - but, this looks very real and others exist that look very similar. Want to see a saucer close up? Here's your chance.

Similar to the Mexico City display years ago -- here's the same thing happening in 2007 -- this is a TV report of the sighting of this MASSIVE display of some objects of unknown origin.
OOPA --- Yep, A Shark In Pa.
Where the Groundhog lives none the less - best out of place animal story of the year.

Elephant Brains
Can elephants tell `good' people from `bad' people? Yes, according to this research study. 2 minute read.

Super cool picture from earlier in 2007 out of Florida.
Robotic Insect Takes Off
Again, a great picture -- to be used for spying?
??? Alien `baby' Found In Dumpster??
Many of the video's of 2007 were over the edge and not `authenticated' - but - who's to say for sure.
? Human-Mondey `Baby' in 2007??
Another over the edge video -- this time - more plausible I'm sorry to say. Seems like someone might have been messing with the DNA of this creature.
New Star Systems Found Close To Earth
249 are within 33 light years -- in 2007 they JUST discovered a star 12 light years away. Heavy. Science article.
Roswell Deathbed Confession

Bootes Void
Just how empty is the emptiest part of the observable universe? Here's the answer

Top Ufo Images of 2007
Many daytime images and the stories behind them. Definitely worth the click.

IS THIS THE ANOMALY OF THE YEAR? What the F is going on in GREENLAND on the melting iceshelf? SOMETHING is emerging from the icepack --------- it is 80 MILES LONG. ORANGE. AND ALMOST 2 MILES WIDE. This is a link to the video from Google Earth. What in the world are those of us on Earth to make of this? HOW CAN THIS JUST NOW BE HITTING THE INTERNET?

Doppelgangers - The Ultimate Entity 

Doppelganger

Product Description

Doppelgangers are monsters, hardwired for murder.

They are not supposed to have doubts, but this one does. He wishes he could be different. More human, maybe. But even that can't stop him from killing people so he can take their places and live their lives. He has to do it; it's who he is.

But when the doppelganger murders a small-town teenager, assumes his shape, and takes over his life, he's shocked by the world he steps into. Engulfed in a whirlwind of peer pressure, messy family dynamics, and a provocative relationship with a beautiful girl, he quickly learns that there's more than one way to be human, and many ways to be a monster.

Told in the tortured voice of a most extraordinary teen, this contemporary gothic romance brews a captivating combination of violence, desire, and atonement. Here is the story of a monster yearning for a human life.

November 08 - Someone is getting a little careless with the cloaking devices - wouldn't you say?

I was at 1,200 feet and it was considerably higher."

Georges said he and Cardenas manuevered the helicopter to get a better look at the lights through Air10's Power Zoom camera.

"(Angel and I) were both amazed at the odd lights and movement. I started flying toward it, but it began to fade away and disappeared to the southeast," Georges said. "Not knowing the size of the object, I couldn't determine how far away we were, but I believe it was some distance away as the image was fuzzy even through the PowerZoom camera."

Another O'Hare Ufo Incident; Aug. 4th (2008)

Again, The ROSWELL Proof
Aug. 09 -> As you would expect - the story - just this month - has ONLY been an internet story. That said, how long will the MSM (mainstream media) let this sit - my bet is - NOT long.

This is very very very close to proof the Roswell incident WAS alien craft.
Another Florida Triangle UFO
Aug. 09 -> One of the best - starts to see the craft at 2minutes 30 seconds.
Over The Top UFO or Something (Picture)
Aug. 09 -> Seems surreal - if it was in the sky a half hour - why no video? Amazingly clear photo of strange object in sky for sure.

The 1952 Washington D.C. Ufo's - Amazing Video
Sept. 09 -> One of the most amazing 33 seconds you will ever see as far as a UFO video goes. The fact that this has only 25,000 views or so is amazing. See the footage that should be on every UFO special.

Marijuana Users LESS Likely To Suffer Injury Compared To NON-USERS
Feb 09 - From the article "What better indication of this could there be than the fact that people who show up all bloody at the emergency room are disproportionately not high on pot?

The researchers note that marijuana use may sometimes take place in safer environments than alcohol use and that marijuana users as a group might be more careful to avoid risks while under the influence. I'm sure both of these points are correct, but to really sum all this up: marijuana just doesn't make you do dumb shit.

Only 2,000 Of Squidoo's 1,000,000 Are Considered Top Tier 

Visit My Number One Lens Please Before You Go

The AnomalyMan Archive Presents - The Squidoo Marketing Research 2006 and 2007 Findings 

What is below was once two lenses here on Squidoo - If you like Squidoo and like research findings - Enjoy.

The Original Study on WHAT MAKES A SQUIDOO LENS PROFITABLE?

Hello Fellow Lensmasters and Squidooers - and welcome to the one lens based on the now non-existent Most Profitable Listing of Squidoo. The Most Profitable Listing on Squidoo was a `rolling' Top 100 most profitable lenses on a given day. The lens research was based on the listing in May 2006 and then again in late 2006.

Using a marketing research based approach - I examined the top 10 most profitable lenses and then replicated the features of those lenses - to provide an example for all lensmasters who wished for a more successful lens. And, indeed, originally THIS lens replicated various examples of the top 10 lenses and suggested other similar approaches that would probably work. Indeed, in the original lens and before they were `topics' - the analysis suggested lenses on `Bullying' and `Al Capone' - both of which went on to be successfull niches for Squidoo.

In late 2006 I conducted more research on the *Most Profitable List (MPL) and in 2007 provided a research look into the tag `marketing' on Squidoo - both of those studies, which at one time were lenses, can be found in summary below (down the page) and make for some very interesting reading about Squidoo.

Finally, what I've decided to do in the re-vamp of this research presentation is to abandon the `replicating' of lens ideas that make money on Squidoo - but - instead, concentrate on the qualitative aspects of what makes lenses profitable in the general sense that was found out about in the first two projects of researching the MPL.

*At one time it was suggested that the Most Profitable List was removed at the request of those LensMasters on the list - as others - made similar lenses on the same topics and lower the originals value.

So, if you want to know how a market researcher feels about Squidoo's attributes - this is the lens for you. You may want to favorite it yourself. Thanks for visiting.

May 2006 - Most Profitable Lens List Research - Qualitative Findings  

These are the actual words - copied and pasted from the original lens.

May 2006 - Most Profitable Lens List Research - Qualitative Findings
Part One

#1 Squidoo Moneymaker on May 29th, 2006 - CSSERVICE - This overall ranked #9 lens probably has a number of reasons for being the biggest moneymaker on Squidoo -- the first of which is that `customer service' is one thing that is VITAL to EVERY Squidoo which is focused in a business way --- an unlimited market here on Squidoo, indeed.

Additionally, the CSSERVICE Lens is amazingly referenced and very believable -- giving full credibility to the sites recommendations in its various Amazon modules selling books. Indeed, the lensmaster has about five sub-lenses (other lenses) that feature Amazon book focuses too as the moneymaker module. The sub-lenses are all well linked in this site to make navigation easier (as is the site itself, taking one to various parts of the large page). Somehow, the presence of so many links within the content of the material seems to give additional perceptions of credibility.

Additionally, the Lens has great Karma (and talks about how great customer service does more than sell things) with all profits from this number one lens going to charity. Interestingly, while the Lens `points' at a blog -- both have little personal data about the blogger or lensmaster. This selflessness and good karma is extended in the lens to include the words of some of history's greatest people including Einstein, Jesus, MLK, Ghandi and more. Very creative.

So, the key lesson here is ` establishing credibility, having as your focus important broadbased business advice, and finally, supporting your main lens with sub-lenses'. Oh, and having great Karma in the Lens.

#2) #2 Squidoo Moneymaker - ACOA - by Linda Moran
Adult Children Of Alcoholics

As with the number one moneymaker on Squidoo - the number two profitmaker is ranked for good reason too.

If you can't focus on `good behavior' --- IE: good customer service --------- a Lens can always pick a human shortcoming or problem. In this case - being raised by an alcoholic parent(s).

Like needing customer service improvement which fits the needs of EVERY business -- this Lens seeks to improve the lives of MANY -- a huge segment of folks (those whose parents drank).

While obviously, many raised in such circumstances do not need such help; many do. And, this Lens seeks to provide that service via being credibly written by a licensed teacher and trained crisis counselor.

Of interest is that the Lens while #2 at being most profitable is number 68 ranked. Linda also is following the `many Lens' theory to Lens making - with over 30 other Lens. Many of these Lens also have the `problem' or `situation' human positioning such as Down Syndrom, Color Blind, etc. When covering these topics the Lensmasters skills at freelance topic writing come thru too.

#3) #3 Squidoo Moneymaker - Trailer Park Boys - Welcome To Sunnydale
Pick a Hot TV Show or Topic

This Lens by David Pye is ranked #10 overall on Squidoo, and, like Linda Mann, (ranked #2) he also is following the `many Lens' theory with about 30 or so Lens to his credit. In MANY of those Lens David can be seen choosing the `hot' idea or topic - almost always with a built in fanbase. Examples of this are sports teams (New England Patriots), movies (Indiana Jones), and celebrities (John Belushi)(Dean Martin).

Like the #1 and #2 Squidoo Profitmakers -- this Lens is written with passion about the Canadian TV show Trailer Park Boys. Obviously, this guy is into the show and writes easily on his subject matter -- these top Lenses all show the same level of involvement in the subject matter. A vital point to remember. The Lens is also nicely done overall with lots of pictures used and internal links.

Because this style of Lens has a built in audience for the particular `feature/star', it evidently, is easily able to sell via Cafe Press, Amazon and others the items that `fans' want to have - such as `posters' DVD's and books.

#4) #4 Squidoo Moneymaker - Spiritual Age Leadership - by Mike Brewer
Another Focus on a Positive Human Characteristic ------ Leadership

Mike Brewer is the author of this Lens, one of about 7 he has done. This site, like many others, points at his blog. The Lens is ranked #171 which shows that highest rank is NOT a ultimate need to make money on Squidoo (but ranked #171 certainly means a Lens with traffic).

This is also one of the few most profitable Lens which does NOT seem to have significant `credibility' - in the way that it has been developed in the top 3 lenses. That also, is enlightening -- it shows that ultimately -- MONEY is made on the QUALITY of the ideas in the books offered ----- the Amazon Module again being the most important for this Lens. Obviously, this author has picked good books for the characteristic of `leadership'. Good book choices make good profitable lenses.

#5) #5 Squidoo Moneymaker - Food Cost Control - by Joe Dunbar
The True Expert Positioning

In this Blog `pointing' 69th ranked Lens (rated 3.5 by 8 Lensmasters) we encounter the `Real Expert' positioning. Joe comes thru as a real person dedicated to one thing; SAVING restaurants/instituions/any business involved with food purchasing - MONEY. Indeed, the fact that this Lens is the authors ONLY Lens, makes it even more credible. To me, in every way, Joe comes across as an EXPERT consultant in this area of business.

As everyone knows in ANY business; SAVING MONEY is a BIG deal -- the number of Lens by experts at saving money or really consultants doing anything seems limitless. This may indeed be a huge area of growth in Squidoo considering the number of business consultants.

This Lens seems to make its money the old standard way for experts - Well Picked Amazon Books; but, it also had a CafePress element -- really, CafePress does a great job of designs out of virtually any TAG. Make sure to use CafePress.

#6) #6 Squidoo Moneymaker - Official 2006 World Cup Shirts - The Gaffer
Pick a Huge Sports Event

Wow. I love this idea -- pick a HUGE upcoming sports event, with a built in fanbase -- and build a large and knowledgeable Lens. This built in fanbase is a natural for the merchandise/trinkets associated with the event as built in buyers for Amazon or other stores merchandise (the superstore).

The author of this #93 ranked (with no ratings until I rated it highly) great Lens idea is The Gaffer, a former PR ad executive and marketing guru. This author has about 10 other Lenses mostly featuring `sport' themes in one way or the other. Interestingly however, one of those 10 Lenses' is about the band THE CULT.

This Lensmasters is indeed smart marketingwise; `cult' bands (whose fans buy merchandise)are a NATURAL for a Squidoo Lens. So, the lesson learned at this stop is -- pick a big event/big band with cult following -- and make a Lens.

Not a bad strategy at all.

#7) #7 Squidoo Moneymaker - Attila The Hun - by Julie O'brady
Pick a Historical Figure with Flare

Here is yet another possible approach to a successful (profitable) Lens on Squidoo - and, it's a good idea indeed by Julie -- who seems to be a very connected person and Bzz Agent X's 10.

This Lens, with no ratings until mine, is ranked 1,071st and is one of about 45 or so Lenses by Julie (everything from a Lens on Polka Dots, to Lenses on places in Europe)who is definitely following the `many Lens' worldview. This low ranking of this particular lens is indeed PROOF that it is the subject matter of the `content' that matters on a Lens -- even if it is of a notorious historical figure -- in making a Lens profitable. And, what images are evoked by Attila the Hun, an excellent historical choice.

While the actual `content' the lensmaster provides here is truely the bare minimum (taking it straight from wikipeda) and didn't involve much effort --- the expertise on this subject matter is going to come from the listings of books and Attila the Hun materials. Indeed, the money from the Lens comes from those types of listings on 3 different selling modules -- E-bay, Amazon, and the Superstore.

So, while I will pick just one `retail' for my example Lens -- you will want to have at least 3 for your historical figure. Also, you should provide more in links than on this site for a historical figure (it would seem) or, at any of the various Lens examples I've given (people come to squidoo for the referred links). Remember quality links matter.

So, again, the lesson learned from Julie O'brady is that a historical figure Lens can put you in the Top 10 in profitable Lenses.

#8) #8 Squidoo Moneymaker - `Fake' Lost Site - by Peter Thompson
Hoaxing, via unadvertised website, TV's hottest show and side promotion

Believe it or not; this is Squidoo's NUMBER ONE RATED LENS. Frankly, it's a little hard to analyze a `hoax' site that the author of says "I hope I haven't annoyed too many people".

This all said -- the idea of `research' when hoaxing is interesting. The idea of selling via Amazon the hottest show on TV - DVD's - with the strongest cultlike following -- even more interesting.

This is Peter's only Lens (with NO RATINGS BOX SOMEHOW -- something I noticed on some of the top sites) and proves that having the number one site matters, -- and that a way to get there is via the hottest cultlike showbase of fans.

Excellent Idea.

#9) #9 Squidoo Moneymaker - Mahmoud Darwish - by `Chris'
Mahmoud Darwish is a Palestinian Poet and Writer

This Lens, ranked 3,622, is one of about 20 Lenses for Chris who often uses the `famous person' idea for a Lens; in addition to other Lenses with cool ideas like Gas Station Collectables and NeoPets.

The sole cash means for this particular Lens is Amazon and selling the poets work (which must be popular for Chris to be on this list). So, that means we learn that even a Lens ranked in the 3,000's can be a winner in regards to being profitable -- and, staking claim to writers or even poets with a following is good Lensing.

Chris' positioning of collectables in the other Lens is a natural for `selling products' - expect to see more of these types of Lenses.

#10) #10 Squidoo Moneymaker (as of 5/29) - OPUS DEI - by D. DeMonte
Lens with built in `customer base'

This #82 ranked Lens (and rated 3.5 by 8 Lensmasters) is part of the Catholic Church - and is part of a group mainly made up of Laypersons. D. DeMonte has two other religious Lens also and this obviously is his passion.

This particular Lens promotes religion and also has rebutts to the current Devinci Code (which probably helps somewhat). However, the Lens, with its religion focus -- captures at least part of America and part of Squidoo users -- I would not be surprised to see more churchs using the Squidoo approach.

This Lens seems to make money by selling only ONE BOOK. Wow. Loyal fanbase helps.

THE SUMMARY Of The Original May 2006 Research  

The Original Analysis

THE SUMMARY Of The Original May 2006 Research
Most Profitable List On Squidoo

When I did the analysis on the Squidoo Top 100 Most Profitable Lenses on May 29th 2006 -- one of the most surprising findings was that (at that time) only 74 Lenses made ANY MONEY at all --- at least that is what I assume when the Top 100 only has 74 listings. Additionally, at the time there were nearly 28,000 Lenses ------------ ONLY 1/3 OF 1% OF ALL SQUIDOOS made ANY MONEY AT ALL. Evidently, even making a few pennies. That, in itself, is an EYE OPENER - or should be - to those making 100's of Lenses to `accumulate' earning something.

If Squidoo is ever to be a money maker for the Lens Makers -- a real money maker - the evidence is that the road will be a very very very long one. Squidoo could also - it seems - do a better job explaining the chance to make money in Lenses.

That all said, IF you are lucky enough to be of the 0.33% making money -- my analysis of the individual Lenses appeal stands. It helps to have a Great Subject with lots of appeal; it helps to Be An Expert (have significant credibility) in what you are writing about; and, it helps to have a Built In Target Market for your Lens.

Finally, I could see little evidence that any module other than Amazon was producing significant cash for the LensMakers --- book links are indeed hot moneymakers.

The Nov. 2006 - Follow Up Study Of The Most Profitable List On Squidoo  

Analysis and Findings

The Nov. 2006 - Follow Up Study Of The Most Profitable List On Squidoo

SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS

The Direction Of Squidoo's Most Profitable Lenses
As already stated in this lens -- having high ticket items for sale on your lens is what can land you on the top of Squidoo's most profitable. But, it's more than that - the very top lenses have put a significant amount of time or effort into their lens offerings and are well written. Indeed, most of the top Most Profitable are heartfelt and well done lenses. That all said - having a hot, moderately priced item - like computer laptop bags; or video games - works on commerical lenses too.

What seems to have disappeared since the listing 6 months ago are the lenses which sell just one item -multiple listings being a bare minimum now to place on this list this time. And, the list is certainly more commercial and less `esoteric' or knowledge based than previously in May.

And, finally, the last six months has seen something OTHER than the Amazon module making money for lensmasters --- six months ago -- that was the whole action. Now, finally, E-bay and other modules are worth adding and certainly the future looks bright in this regard considering Squidoo's high placement in search engines (google). Squidoo could become a side marketplace for E-bay and others of significance due to the high showing on Google by Squidoo lenses.

Finally, all this matters now compared to 6 months ago. Then, Squidoo couldn't even fill a list of 100 lenses making any money (only 74 were on the list in May) -- now, the list is full. Then, the top lensmasters were making very little - now, the top lensmasters are making more than pocket cash. And, lastly, then - no one had ever sold a lens - now, some lenses `sell' for low 3 figures (5 figures if you include the cents). Real Money - the news - 6 months later.

The 2007 Squidoo Survey of the Marketing Tag - Analysis and Hand Tab 

This is the 2007 Research on Squidoo

The 2007 Squidoo Survey of the Marketing Tag - Analysis and Hand Tab

One of the reasons I undertook the task of researching the #1 alltime tag on squidoo.com was factfinding - just what did a sample of squidoo lenses look like. Not the blog of the day, not the top rated lenses, or the most profitable or the highest trafficed - to get an overall view. Additionally, I wanted to do the overview via squidoo's own most popular tag - marketing.
Obviously, if I choose a different tag - my results would have been different (or would they?) - but, the results from the marketing tagcloud are as representative as possible considering it is the Number One tag.
To me, it's a mixed bag of findings overall. First -- why in the world do so many lensmasters rate other lenses a five star? Don't they realize that `differentation' is what makes a rating have any meaning at all? If everything is a `5' -- nothing gets a boost in comparison. Do lensmasters really think that every lens DESERVES a `5'? How stupid.
The next finding is that content DOES MATTER and is found near the top of the lensrank - the formula is working - at least somewhat.
Still, one has to wonder about squidoo's overall content when lenses that are nearly empty garner lensranks in squidoo's top half. Many, about half, of all lenses have NEVER MOTIVATED A VISITOR TO RESPOND VIA GUESTBOOK OR VOTE. So much for great marketing efforts within the marketing tag.
That said, I `favorited' a few of these lenses as the ideas or folks behind them were interesting - I certainly never knew the degree of scams involving the internet and marketing to the internet - certainly, this is all very interesting considering we ALL are involved in it via squidoo and our sharing of adsense revenues. BUT, one gets the feeling as one wades thru the morass of `marketing lenses' that there is no silver bullet -- and -- that many of these lenses seem like scams waiting to happen. How can so many folks depend on stuff with this quality?
The other finding is that some lensmasters overall quality needs to be monitored - and perhaps their total lenses limited as quality is skewed to lensmasters with fewer lenses it seems. It is also amazing that these so-called expert marketers don't sell anything via the moneymaking modules on squidoo - how credible is that?
Hopefully, as other topics fill squidoo's top one half of all lensranks these marketing experts without bio's or even real names - will fade to the below expose line on squidoo - we can only hope it is soon.

A tab of the info - Number of modules; Two or less, 3/28, Three to Five 14/28, Six to Nine 3/28, Ten to Fifteen 7/28, Sixteen plus 1/28 (one set of data from the lensmaster listed twice). And remember, I counted both the introduction module and the guest book comments module.
Concerning the number of lenses the lensmaster had - Two or less 6/26, Three to Five 7/26, Six to Nine 8/26, Ten to Fifteen 2/26, and Sixteen or more 3/26 (one with 800+). Finally, a somewhat real number on these two attributes for squidoo members to be aware of. (Data not gathered for two lenses.) And, 16 of the 29 lens had at least one rating (but only 7 of 20 after the lensrank of 25,000) by a fellow lensmaster.
