Welcome to SquidAngels Headquarters

A place to meet Squidoo's team of angels.

What the heck is a SquidAngel anyway?

We are here to help good, content filled lenses rise to the top, and to knock out the spammy ones. If your lens gets blessed, you'll see a small LensRank boost. If it gets dinged, you'll notice a small LensRank fall. The more angels that rate your lens the larger the effect.

* There have been quite a few people trying to join our group. Everyone is welcome to leave a comment on the page, but please join only if you are a SquidAngel appointed by Squidoo. Thank You!

If you are an Angel join by adding a link to your lensography or biography. Feel free to add a favorite lens of yours too.

If you have a lens you would like to be reviewed by the angels head over to the Angels Forum. Or, you could leave a comment with a link to your lens in the Guestbook at the bottom of this page.

Their Lensographies

Why are there SquidAngels?

LensRank was created as a yardstick for measuring the very general "goodness" of a lens. The much-debated algorithm counts things like visitors to a lens, ratings, number of emailings, postings to delicious, lensrolls, favorites and more. These are all social, human impressions upon the lens. But, like all algorithms, and despite the spirit of its factors, LensRank is only an educated mathematical guess.

So Squidoo has added an important new editorial element to lenses. Squid Angels. It's their hope that this new degree of trusted human influence will make the algorithm just a little richer, and just a little more agile to respond when "spam" lenses game their way toward the top.

Things to remember

SquidAngels are not responsible for giving you an editorial review or sharing pointers on good lensbuilding habits (although they may, if they choose).

LensRank is still, by design, a volatile and ever-changing function. Your ranking can still rise and fall, drastically even, without any interference from a SquidAngel.

Please change the default headers on your modules to something that is relevant to the lens...it makes such a difference

If English is not your first language, please let us know in your bio or somewhere in your lens. I'm patient with a few typos and grammar mistakes, but I have my limits - too many careless errors and I may have to pass your lens by.

I would be glad to take a look at your lenses but please read my new Squid Angel Lens first to see what I'm looking for in a great lens, then fire away with your suggestions.

Make sure you have at least 3 modules full of content in addition to the introduction. Lenses with less than three modules are considered "unimproved" by Squidoo. You should also have a guestbook.

Hi, I am brand new here on Squidoo but I'm loving it already. I would appreciate it greatly if one of the Squid Angels would check out my first Lens Disney World Magic Kingdom Ride Guide. I've put a lot of hard work into it and tried to follow all of your Squid Angel guidance. If it's not up to scratch then please feel free to let me know why.

Thanks Squid Angels!

I was recently visited by a SquidAngel and up till then I wasn't sure who they were. Now I have a goal to become one. Anyway I would appreciate it if a SquidAngel would visit my SEO Guide and let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Inspired by Jaguar Julie's humor and style, I did my first MonkeyBrain debate and put a lot into it to make it fun, informative, and very interactive for visitors. Please visit, do the honors, tell me what you think, contact me with suggestions, and, well ... "Join the fray, and have your say!" on DOGS vs CATS.

Hey! Surely you have an opinion - and there's a poll, and a place for your comment and your links even if you prefer horses!

And thanks for putting this group together so that the rest of us can (1) better find Squid Angel lenses for enjoyment and as role models, and (2) invite you to visit our own. Each of you is great!
