What Are The Squid Angels? 

Receiving a Squid Angel blessing.

In the Squidoo community there are about a dozen or so SquidAngels. From the SquidU forum Angels sticky:


  • Every SquidAngel makes a difference. If one Angel blesses a lens, the lens gets a small boost. If several Angels bless it, the boost jumps to a new tier.  The idea is not to form a jury and drive a traditional consensus. That would be an entirely different program. Instead, the idea is to empower you as individuals. The Angels group is varied, by design, and I'm betting you'll each browse and bless (or ding) different lenses in a broad range of topics. Then, when diverse opinions from top lensmasters converge naturally in the same place, that's when something really special happens.

  • Nope, Angels are not required to give editorial reviews of lenses that are posted in the Angels forum. But if they'd like to, they can.

  • Nope, Angels won't ding lenses that are still under construction.

  • Nope, LensRank doesn't affect your Google traffic or other search engine results.

  • Yep, Angels are allowed to bless a few (not all!) of their own lenses. Hey, they're working hard for everyone else, they deserve the same perk.

How Is A Lens 'Blessed?' 

What exactly is a SquidAngel Blessing.

Squid Angel Screen Shot


When the Squid Angels are logged in they see a "Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down" icon, as seen in the screen shot of this (the lens you are currently viewing) Squid Angel lens. The icons allow the Squid Angels to promote the lens, or demote the lens. Both have an effect on lensrank. As this plays out for most Squid Angels, most lenses are neither promoted nor demoted, as it should be. However, the really good ones are promoted, the standard ones, nothing in terms of a blessing, and the really bad ones are demoted. If you want to produce a quality lens, then consider the resources provided in this module.

Who Be SemperFidelis? 

What are Joe & Colleen Lane doing these days.

  • My husband Joe and I have 5 children ages 2, 8, 9, 17, & 18. Girl, boy, girl, boy, girl! Planned it that way! Yeah right! :)
  • Joe and I have been married for 22 years and have always been self employed. We've owned and ran several businesses, however, our painting and building contracting business allowed us to semi-retire several years ago. Joe is currently 48, and I am 40.
  • We generate income through real estate sales and have donated 100% of the income to World Vision. This video (if you have time, watch all the videos!) reports on one of the opportunities we support.
  • Presently, Joe submitted us (well, me) in a SEO contest for the Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World. We'll see what happens.
  • We are Christians and try to live accordingly. We're not perfect, but we do ok.
  • For fun, we ski when it is cold, and camp when it is warm.
  • At Squidoo we are Giant Squids, Citizen Squid Alumni, and recently, a Squid Angel.

As time permits, I'll elaborate on the above points.
For now, they will serve as an outline for things to come!

Hi Colleen,
I'm a web designer and new to this site. I'm creating my second lens so far. I'm trying to optimized my lens for search engine robots. I notice you were able to post a picture on this lens called: angel-butterfly.jpg directly linked from your real estate site-http://www.joelane.com/images/angel-butterfly.jpg
I want to be abel to do the exact thing on my lens. It's better to link my photos directly from my own personal site for optimization. I've inspected all the modules squidoo offers and I can't find the one you used that lets you put your own pictures linked from your own private website. Can you please tell me what module you used or how you were able to do this.
Thanks in advacne,
Alex Calderon
