What is The Ever Project? In November 2007, Squidoo launched the Ever project - the first use of a new
domain (and not a squid domain) for our site. People from around the web can build pages like worst.restaurant.ever.com or funniest.joke.ever.com or skinnest.actress.ever.com. We've partnered with Digimedia, owners of ever.com, in a venture to match great handbuilt content with really promotable URLs.
Why should I make an Ever page? Why? Why not! You get a smoking URL that's totally worth talking about.
Tastiest.pizza.ever.com... do you have the recipe? Best.photographer.ever.com... is that you? Smartest.designer.ever.com... tell me that wouldn't make a great resume URL for a designer for hire.
Cutest.dog.ever.com... yours?
Coolest.boss.ever.com... well, if you're the suck-up sort. :)
But you get the point. We're not only giving you a gotta-have URL that's fun to spread around... we're also making it dead simple for you to set up a page sharing everything you know about that topic. Put yourself at the center of the conversation online, pick a great superlative, and your competition will have to shake their heads as you pass them by. All for free. So, we ask you again... why not?
How much do these domains cost me? Zero. Zip. Zilch. They're totally free for you to run. Have fun!
How many Ever.com URLS can I grab? Well, be careful of the word "grab." You can start up to 10 Squidoo pages a day... including Ever.com pages. So if you've hit your limit for today, why not go give your existing pages a little TLC and make 'em shine. Then, if you want more, come back tomorrow and make another 10!
And if you go grabhappy (hey, it happens), but don't do anything with your pages for a long while, and you never add customized content, we may someday send you a note about freeing up your URL for someone else. But we won't do it without telling you first.
So, the secret is that you need to put the best content ever on your pages--Squidoo lenses and Ever pages alike. Personalize them with great stories, opinions, links, products for sale, photos, maps, videos and more. Point to destinations online worth promoting. (Like your own blog and projects, of course). That's the best way to make sure those cool domains stay yours, well, forever.
Wow! I can earn money from these domains? Indeed you can. Yes, they're totally free. But when you make a sale off your page, like through our Amazon or eBay modules, you get a royalty. You also get a royalty from the Google ads we run on these pages. Since we're partnered with Digimedia, the revenue structure is a little different than it is for Squidoo proper, but we still give you, our users (we call you lensmasters), half of what Squidoo gets.
