Why Clickouts Rock your Payday
April 23rd, 2010
In the spirit of the payday inspired post here’s a little teaser image of my earnings in my main squidoo account since inception:

Now, every month payday invariably brings about discussion of Lensrank, that magical formula that helps determine how much your lens makes in a month.
Today, lets focus on one aspect of lensrank that is discussed some, but often not given the weight it deserves : clickouts.
I recently did an experiment and removed RSS feeds from about 40 of my lenses (Squidoo’s analytics do not as of the writing of this article track clickouts from RSS feeds in your stats) and replaced them with eBay modules (which do track clickouts).
the results were immediate and impressive. The clickouts that weren’t previously being captured are now being tracked properly.
And my lensrank SOARED on those lenses and has continued to stay very strong.
The moral of the story? Clickouts can make you more money, lots more.
So, make sure there’s stuff to click on on your lens.
