Back in December 2005 I posted about creating my first "lens" on the Squidoo site. Some time between then and now, they have turned on the money tap (i.e. stopped funnelling all of the ad revenue to charities). To continue my experiment, I chose to have all of the ad revenue for my lenses be transferred to my Paypal account. If you can see the image in my post here, you'll see that the money came through in a big way... all $0.18 worth :)

Update (later that same day): There's an interesting post on TechCrunch about the future of Squidoo and how it's downfall might tarnish Seth Godin's reputation as a marketting guru. I'm tending to agree with Michael Arrington's assessment. When comparing Squidoo to Wikipedia he states:

"It’s unlikely that a Squidoo lens on a given topic (when there are a potentially infinite number of other lenses on the same topic) will ever gain that kind of authority."

Update 2006-09-12: Payday number two gave me a cool $1.21 USD this time around. That's a grand total of $1.39 USD for my efforts... which isn't really all that bad. At least I can set my pay threshold, unlike a certain ad network. By the way, you can see my Squidoo profile and list of lenses here:
