Squidoo Module Pages

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.

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.

If you have been on Squidoo for more than a few months, you will have updated your lenses a few times, and promoted them on social networking sites, on Twitter, in forums, and so on. But now instead of just sending out the entire lens, you can highlight features of your lens. You can push the poll, and get people to send the poll to their friends. You can gather many more statistics, and at the same time, draw people to your lens in a simpler 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.

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.

The Squidoo Module Pages give you the opportunity to interact even more with your readers. If your readers are interested in your topic, then they will also be interested in voting on plexos, adding comments, adding to a discussion in a duel, or voting in a poll. You can blog about your plexo list and ask for additions. There are just so many ways that you can interact and create more interest in your topic, and often pick up ideas from your readers to expand your lens or create a new one.

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.

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).

The Squidoo Module Pages have ads on them just like your regular lens. These are ads generated by the Squidoo system. At this time you cannot put your own links or adds that are not in the actual modules from the original lens page. However, if a reader clicks on any ad link that is on the module page, the revenue goes to the ad pool that it would from the main lens page.

If you look at the individual Squidoo Module Pages, you will notice numerous links to your main lens. There is the module being featured, and also at minimum the table of contents in the right sidebar. At the bottom of the page is a link to the main lens also. Just that many more pathways leading to your lens page.
