Squidoo Hopping--What Are Outlinks?

Good Thursday to all----my first question--what are outlinks?  How do you see what outlinks are on a lens?
I have one of my lenses marked for:

Spam content see less

We're no puritans, but there are certain words and word patterns that often indicate a type of lens content or topic that we can't support on Squidoo. Our system has found a few of these topic or word patterns on this lens. Read a brief set of guidelines about SquidDon't topics: http://www.squidoo.com/squiddont.

P.S. It's possible your lens is in good standing, yet one of your readers has posted spam content in a Guestbook or Duel module. Try reviewing the comments published on this lens. If you find spam there, chances are good that's why your lens is flagged.

Exceeds the outbound link limit see less

There is a limit to the number of links to the same domain that you can have on any single lens. We consider more than 9 links to the same domain to be overly promotional. Read more about the outbound link limit at http://www.squidoo.com/outboundlinklimit.

 

http://www.squidoo.com/earnwithmarsha is the lens in question.   There are loads of other lenses just like my own of people pushing for referrals in websites they do online to earn money.  I don't think, or hope it isn't, the reason--the spam part listed.

I posted in the forum and was told there is an outlink 10 times...it goes to Cafepress and looks like a sign up page.  So, how do I get rid of it?  I don't even know how you look to see what outlinks there are there.  I really want to keep this lens up as I have gotten a couple of referrals through it. (when I am reading, Cafepress is on the whitelist anyway of allowed outlinks?)

Otherwise, I did keep my promise to myself to build a new lens and to update at least 2 this past week.

I built  Learning About Greece.  This will be an ongoing lens as I will update after we finish each book.  It should do well in the ranks for bit anyway. (well for me is under 200,000)

I updated both Online Craft Mall and Online Parties to include the banner for the upcoming Christmas celebration.  I'm ashamed it's taken me so long to get it in there though---early bird sign up is almost upon us!  I have my 2 spots, but haven't chosen them yet.

Shop Hop Saturday--Let's See About this Rock Climbing

Last week Ruthi put out a challenge with the weekly Shop Hop.  You can read about it:

Ruthi Rock Climbing Week One

I do have goals.

1.  Build a new squidoo lens each week as well as update at least 2 others.

2.  Post at least 3 things a week to redgage.

3.  Post 2 things a week into my etsy store and continue to move other things to my zibbet store.

4.  Keep up with the reviews and regular postings to my blog.

5.  Sew at least a little but each day. (this goes with accomplishing goal 3)

This past week I did build a new squidoo lens and updated 2 others.   I didn't get to redgage.  I did just post 2 new items to my etsy shop:

Cotton Crocheted Washcloths Set of 3 in Potpourri 

 

Table Runner 

 

I am behind on my reviews here on my blog  :(  I've managed to sew each day this week even if it was 5 minutes, but have spent a lot of time getting things ready to sew.

 

I listed several more books on half.com and have a stack next to me to still list.....also some in the garage that I am still pondering on listing.

The other thing I want to talk about this week is the Christmas Celebration coming up with the Online Craft Mall.  I will talk more about it as it gets closer, but I do hope you will click the banner and check it out.  Please consider signing up to be a vendor.  Until November 8 you can use the early bird special and get your spot for only $5!!  That's one hour of presentation time to sell your wares.  After Nov. 8 and up to Nov 22 sign up is $10 per spot.

 

 

That's it for me this week.  I hope you will click the button and hop along---or hop through the list of participants.
