Welcome To The Lens Like List
Do you like lenses? Lenses are web pages designed and composed by the authors of Squidoo.
If you have ever wondered what makes Squidoo lenses likable, you have come to the right place.
This page is about what makes Squidoo lenses likable.
What Makes You Pull Over
When searching for something on the internet, the first thing most people do is type what they are looking for into a search engine. The next thing they do is browse from an overwhelming list of sites to find and select the best source (or sources) of items and information they are looking for.
Generally, the seeker looks for the basics: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. A good lens author will try to consider all basics when composing their lens.
Looking For A Likable Lens
Lens Traffic
People Like You And Me
If you are a new at constructing online web pages, consider your first two modules as the attention grabbers. When someone takes the time to visit a lens, often if the first two modules do not do not grab their attention by a striking graphic, title, or short paragraph. they may land for only a moment, then look elsewhere for the information they seek.
In Search Of
Looking For Love In All The Wrong Lenses
If you answered YES to any item on the above poll, you are not alone in your quest for real information. I know I can relate to your experience.
If I can't find information on the topic I am researching, it is a sure bet that no one else can find information about it, either. What good is an internet search engine if it produces benign search results?
One of the ways to correct the problem is by becoming a member of the online community and writing about topics you know about.
Lenses like many of those produced at Squdoo provide the internet with an alternative to dead links with credible, reliable sources.
It is always a pleasure to find truthful and relevant information on topics I am interested in. The best liked web pages of Squidoo are produced by real people who strive to make a real difference, and do.
Lenses I Don't Like
Squidoo Anti Spam Policies
As the subtitle states, Squidoo does not like spam. In fact, if the Squid Detectives find a lens that violates the "Squid No-No's," the lens will be blocked by the Spam Filter.
Sometimes things slip through the cracks. The purpose of this module is to help differentiate the good from the bad. If you find a lens that is so bad that it creates an issue with Squidoo or your fellow lens masters, anonymously add it to the list here. This is not a place where you would drop in a lens just because you don't like the topic. This is a place where you would report a lens that only meets the following criteria:
(1) Published lens has less than 4 modules with two or more having zero (0) content.
(2) Published lens has garbled copy that is irrelevant to the lens title and topic of interest.
(3) Published lens has spam links to everything but the lens title or topic.
(4) Published lens has x rated material that is irrelevant to the lens title or topic.
(5) Published lens has material that has been plagiarized without credit to the proper source(s).
Please Note: You are not the lens police. The links below are only serve as examples of what are considered undesirable, and are provided for informational purposes only.

Real Lens Masters
There isn't enough space for me to add all the lens masters I like here, but you will find them or their lenses mentioned in many of the lenses I've built over the past few years.
The masters behind the lenses are those who not only help others with the information they provide, they voluntarily spend time with others, and support charities to help those in need. Their lenses are composed with their heart in hand, and the knowledge they provide is not only a great service to Squidoo and fellow lens masters, but to the internet, as well.
Without the credible information provided by good people, there would be vast holes in the information resources available on the internet today.
Lenses You Like
Doing Time With Lenses I Like
If my attention is held through the first two modules, nine out of ten times I will take the time to read the lens from top to bottom. If the content is unique, and touches my heart, I will rate it. If it is outstanding, I will not only comment, but make it one of my favorites. Lens Like Short List
Lenses With A Purpose
When someone gets a rating or thumbs from me, it means that I have taken the time to read or look at the lens from top to bottom. That means the author of a lens has caught my attention long enough to keep it, and was successful in their presentation. Below are only a few of the lenses I like. I think you will like them, too.
These few lenses are diverse in their construction, and each serves a purpose.
