Link Wheel: Part 3 – Google Wonder Wheel

I was doing some research yesterday trying to find out the what the Squidoo payout tiers were.  I have heard that there were 3 tiers, 4 tiers, and 5 tiers.  So I was looking for how much each tier paid and what the lens rank had to be for it to be in that tier.

While looking that up I came across the Wonder Wheel on Google.  This is going to help me so much with the different link wheels I am wanting to do with my lenses.  Let me show you how to get it!

First go to Google.com and type in what ever you are searching for. Then you will click on “Show options”.  I used “dog training” because it’s a popular search.

Then you will see Wonder Wheel in the side options.

Once you click on Wonder Wheel, Google will bring up a link wheel for you with suggestions for your search.

I am so excited I have found this!  I know I will be using it a lot and I hope it helps you out also.

Link Wheel: Part 2 – Potty Training (continued)

I have decided today that I am not going use eHow as part of my link wheel.  After reading on their forums it looks like many people were having the same problem I was having.  I really don’t want to wait weeks for my article to get published so I moved it to Squidoo.

Fresh off the press Potty Training Using Positive Reinforcement.  This now completes my Potty Training Link Wheel.

Here is the complete wheel with the lens Potty Training a Little Boy as the hub.  BrandyT on Squidoo (Blog) –> Potty Training Using Positive Reinforcement (Squidoo) –> Potty Training Charts (knol.google) –> The Potty Dance (Weebly Website) –> Potty Training Signs (Zimbio Article) –> Potty Training Boys (HubPages) –> BrandyT on Squidoo (Blog)

Link Wheel: Part 1 Potty Training a Little Boy

I am very new to making a link wheel and also to other sites other than Squidoo.  I am learning, but right now I seem to be pressing more into my head than I am use to.  I am writing down lots of notes and trying to keep up with each site I join along with all the user names and passwords that go along with them.

For my first link wheel I thought I would use my Squidoo Lens Potty Training a Little Boy as my hub.  Then for the wheel part I have a HubPage –> Blog –> eHow –> Knol Article –> Weebly Website –> Zimbio Article –> HubPage.

It is almost all linked together.  I just had one problem with eHow.  For some reason my article will not post there.  I haven’t figured out why just yet.  I’m working on it though.  As soon as it is published my first link wheel will be complete.

Already my lensrank for Potty Training a Little Boy has doubled.  It started out with a lensrank in the 80,000’s and now it is in the 40,000’s.  When I googled Potty Training a Little Boy it came up #19.  Then when googling “potty training a little boy” it was #3.

Alice in Wonderland: Squidoo

I have been working hard lately trying to finish 100 lenses so that I can apply for the Giant 100 club.  My last several lenses have been about Alice in Wonderland.  I love Disney and I love that movie.  I haven’t seen the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland yet, but I do plan on it.

Right now my highest rank Alice in Wonderland lens is Alice in Wonderland Figurines.  I created this one mainly because my Snow White Figurines was doing so well.  Then came everything else about Alice in Wonderland.  From having your own tea party and costume ideas to Alice in Wonderland quotes and video games.  Then my very last one, and my 100th published lens, was a lensography of all the Alice in Wonderland lenses.

Now that I have 100 lenses under my belt I am waiting approval to be in the Giant 100 club.  While waiting I am going to be doing some SEO work for my Squidoo lenses.  I am doing some research now on different sites so that I can start a link wheel pointing to my Squidoo lenses.
