RSS: Fast Easy Way To Make A Squidoo Lensography

Ranked #109 in Squidoo Community, #16,157 overall

Squidoo Lenses RSS Feed For Lensmaster Tipi

Why would a Squid Angel recommend making an RSS Lensography? There are several reasons to do it and I will tell you what some of those good reasons are, because I would like to help you increase all your lenses'  health, increase lensranks and ratings,  and how to make a fast and easy lens at the same time. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about using RSS, I've already done the foot work and am happy to be of service to others in the Squidoo community. Yes, I know that you are the 'competition' but in the interest of good community spirit I volunteer my expertise and experience to you.

A Squidoo lensography of all of my lenses in an RSS: also known as "Rich Site Summary" and is a kin of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works such as Squidoo lenses, blog entries, audio, news headlines, and video in a slandered format. An RSS document is called a feed or web feed. Here you can subscribe to the RSS Feed for Tipi's Squidoo lenses for rich content for your blog. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. (Which is the best explanation I have read) This is a Squidoo Lensograhy.

Subscribe To RSS Feeds For Blog Content

RSS is Really Simple and Fast

Web feeds help publishers (lensmasters) by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web, desktop, or mobile-device based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and then viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI - often referred to as a URL (uniform resource locator). By clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription, the RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.

::Tipi's Tip::

This lens has earned over $58 so far.

* Notice that I have a "Updated: date and time" in the introduction.
* All I need to do is change the Date and Time in the intro, Publish, and the lens is updated.
* I try to update this lens everyday, after Squidoo updates.

*** Updating lenses once a month like Squidoo suggests probably won't get high lensranks in most cases ~ though it's a good start. I would suggest that you update a lens every 1 to 10 days and you'll have higher lens-ranks. I promise! Note: Just changing the Date and Time works occassionally, ...but I do find that I need to make other updates on a regular basis. Change modules around, change the intro picture, add some HTML to the intro, rewrite content, add more content. ~ Content is king. An updated lens is a happy lens!

RSS: Lensography of Squidoo Lenses

Add Pictures To Increase Search Traffic

Sunset and Forest Picture: Flickr Photos
I found that photo by going to Search Creative Commons typed in what I wanted and searched on Google images, that are public domain and free to use on Squidoo lenses.

I'm using the Text With Big Picture module here.

I love seeing a lens or lensography with at least one nice big picture to really get my visual interest after a nicely written introduction with a picture that draws me in. I choose this sunset picture at Lake Kabetogama, Minnesota, where I am from and plan to return to someday. I have lenses about Kabetogama in Voyageurs National Park and VNP lenses. People that have visited learn about a place I love and decided to take their vacation there. So! I have helped the community there and I feel real good about that.


Seriously, nice images do bring in search traffic, because people look at pictures and when they see one they like they will come and see your lens, maybe. Remember to add "good keywords" to your picture descriptions for find-ability.

RSS: Add content to your blog

Lensrank order automatically updated when Squidoo updates!


You can find your RSS Link at SquidUtils.com. Then copy and paste it in the "RSS: Add your blog" module and pick your display options you want. It will be updated according to lensrank when Squidoo updates lens ranks. Set the option to as many lenses as you want to display, no excerpt, 100 characters, or everything available.

RSS is a fast and easy way to put all of your lenses into a lensography and it gets updated for you automatically. An RSS also gives all of your lenses a Back Link which increases the health of all of your lenses. A healthier lenses will have a higher over-all lens rank. To increase more In-Links and Out-Links on Squidoo lenses is important to do. So! After you publish a RSS Lensorgaphy, lensroll it to all of your lenses for Back Links. You need to what until the new lens is Ranked and Rated to be able to lensroll all of your other lenses to it, giving them a New Back Link and increasing their health.

OK, you chocked it out of me! ~ Another good reason to have a RSS lensography is because Squidoo allows 1 unique hit to lenses per-week for each IP address. If you have a lens that needs a little more traffic, an RSS will do that for you. Do I use these links? ~ Why, yes I do! ~ They do help my lenses that are of low traffic!

Developing Feeds with Rss and Atom

Developing Feeds with Rss and Atom

Amazon Price: $8.40 (as of 02/15/2012)Buy Now

Product Description
Perhaps the most explosive technological trend over the past two years has been blogging. As a matter of fact, it's been reported that the number of blogs during that time has grown from 100,000 to 4.8 million-with no end to this growth in sight. What's the technology that makes blogging tick? The answer is RSS--a format that allows bloggers to offer XML-based feeds of their content. It's also the same technology that's incorporated into the websites of media outlets so they can offer material (headlines, links, articles, etc.) syndicated by other sites. As the main technology behind this rapidly growing field of content syndication, RSS is constantly evolving to keep pace with worldwide demand. That's where Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom steps in. It provides bloggers, web developers, and programmers with a thorough explanation of syndication in general and the most popular technologies used to develop feeds. This book not only highlights all the new features of RSS 2.0-the most recent RSS specification-but also offers complete coverage of its close second in the XML-feed arena, Atom. The book has been exhaustively revised to explain:

* metadata interpretation
* the different forms of content syndication
* the increasing use of web services
* how to use popular RSS news aggregators on the market

After an introduction that examines Internet content syndication in general (its purpose, limitations, and traditions), this step-by-step guide tackles various RSS and Atom vocabularies, as well as techniques for applying syndication to problems beyond news feeds. Most importantly, it gives you a firm handle on how to create your own feeds, and consume or combine other feeds. If you're interested in producing your own content feed, Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom is the one book you'll want in hand.

How To Make A Successful Lensography

This is my main lensography it ranks high on Squidoo.

I have slaved over this lensography to make it great, and it stays in Tier 1 now without having to do much for updates. It has a theme, and it gets traffic, sales and click-outs.
