It just doesn't matter
Oh, yippee yay! This is all about me and my Website and what I want you to buy. I am not going to add any of my personality or give you any information on the lens topic, because that would waste my time! In fact, I don't have a topic! After all, all I want to do is sell stuff and have you visit my site!!!! So, I am going to add some stuff on this lens for your perusal. Check it out, and don't forget: Visit my site!!!! It's at justsellingmystufftoyou.com.
Important!
This lens is for educational purposes only. I created it hoping that people who do these kinds of lenses will see that it's far better to help others by building lenses with substance rather than to waste their time (and ours) with lenses such as these. This type of lens is appreciated by the lens creator only.
The site, justsellingmystufftoyou.com, is made up. If such a site exists in reality, it has nothing to do with this lens.
Lots of great stuff HERE:

Have you checked the domain name I used here to see if it's being used or not? Please answer the poll question below. For the Record: I have not checked to see if it's in use; I STILL don't know if it exists! (Thank you to Rusty-Quill for this suggestion!)
Update: I inadvertantly clicked on a link in an email someone sent; I quickly clicked out because I didn't want a tab opening, but I did see what the answer to the question is. :)
Let's Discuss
What's your opinion
Some people think this lens is telling them not to sell anything on Squidoo.
Is this lens "best practices" or "anti-sales"?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byThis lens illustrates the wrong way to sell.
IanMayfield says:
I'm not an impulse buyer, so a lens which overdoes the Amazon modules has me going: "Mmmm... did I leave the iron on? And I think I missed a toenail this morning."
The "rite" way is to compose great content and THEN ever so subtly bung in links to relevant merchandise, so that the reader gets interested enough in the topic that they might JUST feel moved to buy something related to it.

TheLastResort says:
This was a great read, good humor, and most importantly, a good practical reference of what not to do - and not just on Squidoo, and not just on the internet - if people would just give a bit of real value before requesting something, the world would be better.

CruiseReady says:
Oh, it is definately "best practices" and done in a very cool way.

This lens tells me that selling is bad.
Cherrybomb2009 says:
It might be nice perhaps to post a lens exactly the opposite of this one, as a way to let those who would like to sell things on Squidoo know how they SHOULD do it. Someone trying to sell stuff might come to this page thinking that they should delete their whole lens because no one wants to visit a lens where someone is selling something. However, this lens does give some good example about a few obvious things (like having empty modules, making sure any links you post are closely related, not posting in someone's guestbook simply to get them to visit your site, etc).

You're not saying selling is bad... just do it the correct way.
I'm not a jewelry person, but I am having a hard time resisting the $$ earrings. The Big Daddy Ring is something everyman man needs. It's a great gift idea for cougars looking for young pups. LOL - 5 Stars and I Favorite It.

- Great lens. It's amazing how many well rated lenses I have come across that have NO content, just ads, and yet they have 60 likes and great comments. I don't get it, but thanks for doing this lens!

Bottom line: If you build indifference into your lenses, that is what your readers will give you in return -- indifference -- and maybe a few choice words about wasted time. Create Lenses Your Reader Can Value
Review and Compare
This lens, The Best Squidoo Lens NOT To Do, is a ME lens. To see a YOU lens, look at Teach Children Character. Notice that it's all about the reader. Notice that it still sells products -- after all, Squidoo is The Power of Recommendation. Either of these lens types is a personal choice you make when you get ready to build your own lenses. Which type are you going to create -- the ME lens type or the YOU lens type? How NOT to build a lens like this
