Squidoo and Adsense


Many people mention squidoo, and some of them compare squidoo with hubpages, I have an account on hubpages, and set up my Adsense ID in my hubpages profile along with Kontera, Amazon and eBay. I tried to sign up an account with squidoo, and started to create a lens, but I couldn't find anywhere to insert my Adsense ID.

And I found out that actually you couldn't use your Adsense ID on squidoo! Squidoo uses theirs and then when the ads are clicked on your lenses, you get your share from squidoo.

Adsense revenue is calculated like this: All revenue is dropped in one big pool. 45% is subtracted for Squidoo operations, 5% goes to Squidoo charity. That leaves 50% in the pool for lensmasters (owners of lenses). That pool is then divided according to an algorithm.

This is quite funny, and you will find more on this if earning loyalty is your main concern.

And if you haven't got your own Adsense account or for some reasons banned by Google, it's a good way to publish and earn through Squidoo.

Good post.
We have a pretty good comparison of Squidoo and Hubpages over on our blog that covers a couple of interesting and useful points.

Thanks again for the info.

It is kindof fishy the way Squidoo does their adsense integration. I love that in hubpages you can put your own code in and trak things from your own adsense account!

I am with you. But if people get banned by Google or due to some other reasons they haven't got an Adsense account, the Squidoo might be a good alternative.

yes it all seems a bit sided towards squidoo to me - is it possible to make money using these pages I wonder?

I have just recently found out also that the 50% left for the lensmasters is divided up amongst the top 85,000 lenses. So, if your lens isn't in the top 85,000...and earns money through adsense...you don't see a dime.

Not sure that's exactly fair.

I'm not sure if my first comment went through cause there was no word verification below.

Anyhow, my comment was that I have recently found also that the 50% of the adsense funds that is divided amongst the lensmasters is only divided among those whose lenses are in the top 85,000. So, if your lense is higher thatn 85,000 and is earning adsense...you won't see a dime.

Not sure that's entirely fair. I can't seem to find a reason for it.

Yeha, they earn a lot from adsense. This is Squidoo's tactics though. But if you gain some profits from it, then it is a win-win situation.

Well I did a Squidoo lens about Saudi Arabia. How do I get some money from AdSense? How do I place AdSense in this lens?

Virgin Media Netgear Wireless Router Username and Password

As Virgin Media customer, if you find your wireless router is Netgear, then you may type the router's setup URL into a web browser address bar. http://192.168.0.1 is the default Netgear router IP address. http://192.168.1.1 will work for some Netgear models. Mine setup URL is http://192.168.1.1 . Then you are required to enter a username and password. If you haven't change the default setting, it is "virgin" and "password", you may find that on a label stuck on the router. This default username and password of Virgin Wireless router is different from that of the normal Netgear router. The default username of Netgear is admin and the password is either password or 1234. Then you open the configure interface, change the settings, such as change your DNS server to OpenDNS . For a normal Netgear router, if you forget the username and password, you can reset and restore the NETGEAR device to factory default settings. But I couldn't find any button on

Vodafone Router Configuration for Incoming Connection and other Services

This post is about specific Vodafone Home Broadband Router configuration for Incoming Connection and other service on your home computer. This is not a tutorial, and will not be going into details of the services and router configuaration, I just want to point out couple of points you need to pay attention to. 1. Port Forwarding. Vadafone Router has its own name for Port Forwarding, it's called Port Mapping under Port Management category.The picture below shows that I set up web server on my desktop, I map my local address on port 80; and I set up PPTP incoming connection by mapping local address on port 1723. Port Forwarding 2. Exposed Host. If you have set up Port Mapping, you still can't get what you want, then you have to put your device outside the Firewall, i.e. bypass Vodafone Connects (means Router) firewall, in a Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), using it's Exposted Host Function. Static NAT (Network Address Translation) means the Router will translate publi
