Tips for Making Great Drink Lenses

Here are just a few of the reasons why lenses get denied acceptance to Enjoy A Refreshing Beverage.

The number one reason that lenses don't get accepted to EARB is that they aren't developed fully and consistently. Some lensmasters put a minimal content into a few random modules, and then apply to the group. That's NOT what we're looking for here. We want lenses full of great drink recipes, good background and history and personal recommendations.

The second most-frequent reason that a lens gets denied is because it goes off-topic or is off-topic to the group. Focused lenses are the most effective and helpful lenses! Make sure ALL the content you are creating really relates directly to what you are talking about and also matches your actual lens title.

The third most common reason for a lens rejection is that the lens doesn't offer any original written content, or has content that is represented elsewhere on the web. We don't want backwash, we want your original offerings and great taste!

After those considerations, the overall development of the lens is evaluated. Seemingly little things like no picture in the lens intro, unfinished modules and too many glaring affiliate links can hurt lenses that otherwise offer some good content.

If your lens gets denied acceptance to the group and you don't get a personalized message about it, your lens is deficient in one or more of the areas listed above.

~~~~~~~~~~

How To Get Cut Off At The Bar
(Booting and banning lenses)
- lenses that are not on-topic for the group will be denied acceptance
- accepted lenses that become "under review" will be booted
- accepted lenses that fall too far down in lensrank may be booted if other lenses on the same topic get submitted to the group that are ranked more highly and better maintained.
