World Travel Destinations

So what is it that I look for in a great travel lens to be featured on the ExSquidition Travel Journal? All of the lenses have these qualities in common:

1. I like photos. Photos make a lens enticing, especially for travel. If it doesn't have enough photos, the reader many not have enough visual interest to keep on reading.

2. The lens will have original, not duplicate content information, added to the lens. The more of your own words, the better.

3. No default titles. Not even one. That means titles like "new guestbook" and "great stuff on eBay."

4. There's a Guestbook so I can contact the lensmaster.

5. The bio is complete, picture uploaded, description filled out.

6. The intro module is at least a few sentences long. Short introductions tell me that there's not much to see or read in that lens.

7. The affiliate/selling modules don't overwhelm the lens. Some is good, but stay on topic and sell only items related to the topic!

8. Stay on topic all the time. On your lens about Florida, don't talk about your cat Fluffy.

9. Lensmasters may contact me, or I might find them searching through Squidoo.

10. The lens is at least 4 or more modules long and easy to read. The content is divided into subtopics by module.

ExSquidition Travel Journal is all about the journeys of lensmasters on Squidoo. Where they've gone, where they'd like to go, or where they're about to visit. So far this year, you can read lenses about the Philippines, Mount St. Helens, the Oregon Coast, Zion National Park, County Cork Ireland, Joshua Tree National Park, some of the most famous beaches in the world, and lighthouses in Florida.

Each post, I'll highlight a different lensmaster (or two) and their lens on a particular travel destination.
