Update on our ad experiments

We’re deep in a 2-week experiment with new forms of advertising on lenses.

You’ve probably seen the Glam ad banner by now, as well as some green text link ads on lenses.

There’s good news (some of it is working very well!) and lots of background, philosophy, and detail in this announcement and thread on SquidU, in case you missed it.

And before you worry too much about the (not so gory) details, remember that if you’re not here for the royalties, you can easily opt-out of any of these ads!

Thanks for reading the thread.

And happy 4th.

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
