What are Squidoo Module Pages?
A Squidoo Module Page is a stand alone webpage that is automatically generated by Squidoo for each of several different interaction modules, ie. Duels, Comments, and Plexos. It allows you the lensmaster to send just the interaction module out via email, twitter or just about any other place you would like to publicize your topic.
The Squidoo Module Page is a way for you to publicize your lens in a new way, interact with your readers with just one module, gain more revenue from a single lens, and have multiple new avenues to link to your lens.
The picture to the left is a Link Plexo Module Page for my lens Eco-Chic Green Fashion.

Squidoo Lens Page
This is the main page of your lens that you create
I am going to use my lens Eco-Chic Green Fashion to demonstrate the Squidoo Module Pages, because this lens has several interaction modules that have their own Squidoo Module Pages.
The picture above is the main lens, which you can see looks like a lens does from the lensmaster screen. This is what every lens looks like to the lensmaster that creates it. Nothing has changed here with the addition of the module pages.
Squidoo Poll Module
Share the poll module only
If you scroll down the page of Eco-Chic Green Fashion, you can see that the first module after the table of contents links is the Poll Module.
Squidoo has changed the appearance slightly of the Poll Module, by adding a button at the top right that tells the reader how many people have taken the poll, and a button on the bottom right of the Poll Module, that allows you to share the Poll Module only. When you click on the second button, a pop-up box comes up that gives you several choices of how to share the poll.
When you share this Poll Module, you will actually be sharing the Poll Module Page (pictured below).
This new feature allows you to send out the poll without the rest of the lens, but still draw people to the lens. If you notice, on the sidebar of the Poll Module Page is a list of links to places in your lens, along with your introduction lens photo.
Publicize Your Lens in a New Way
And the bonus is that you can send the Squidoo Module Page out to the world the same way you did with your entire lens. You can tweet it, digg it, bookmark it and so on.

Squidoo Link Plexo Module
If you scroll down the lens Eco-Chic Green Fashion, the next interaction module is the Link Plexo Module, which also looks slightly different than before. At the top right of the module, you will notice a button that shows the number of links in the plexo. At the bottom right is another drop down button to share the plexo. Again, this button will share the Squidoo Link Plexo Module Page if you share the Link Plexo Module. This page is pictured below.
Interacting with Your Readers
Are you maximizing the interaction with each interaction module?
To show you how this works, I have set up a plexo module just below this one to ask you a question. Answer the question and share the plexo with your friends. Then you can vote on the best answer.

Squidoo Duel Module
This is my personal favorite interaction module and can create a lot of responses
Another Squidoo Module Page is generated by my favorite interaction module, the Duel Module. At the top right of the page, you will see a button the shows you how many responses you have in your module both for and against your Duel topic. At the bottom right, you will find the button that will share the Squidoo Duel Module Page (pictured below).

Squidoo Module pages are terrific! I can see many uses for them. They allow me to be more creative with my existing lenses by allowing me to be more flexible in the way I share what I publish. This is something I've wanted for a long time. Kudos to Squidoo Developers for coming up with this one!

Thanks for your good work! I am new to all this, so I find your lens quite helful. I will have to study it more carefully later.

So far I like the module pages. I found the one for the guestbook before I read the announcement. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be doing anything with them. I haven't figured out yet how to. But I do think it's likely readers will be sharing specific modules in future. Which surely should work well.

I think that are a wonderful addition to an already great system. It enhances our abilities to promote and also interact with our readers. Quite innovative and forward thinking on the part of HQ.

I don't like the Squidoo Module Pages.
astire says:
Module pages are good but "Module only pages" are not good. Good mix of content with related modules makes a lens interesting

Jimmie, I think that you are misunderstanding the way the pages are working right now. If you click the link, it sends the module page, but you don't see it then. If you send it to Twitter for instance, then click the link that comes up, you will be going to the module page instead of your original lens. If you were asking a question on a lens for homeschooling, you could just send out the question to a forum of readers, to get a response to that question only.

Jimmie says:
The modules that have pages are my least favorite ones. I doubt I'll ever use these. And I found that a lot of them don't even work. The page stays the same even after clicking on the link.

- Yes, when you send the Squidoo Module Page to Twitter, it just says "Reading this" before the link to the module page. I recommend changing it to the actual question on the module or another tweet message. Probably a complication that hasn't been looked at yet.
