Hi Everyone!

Boy did I get swamped this month! I think because my vacation was in June, that July hit me hard. But nevertheless, it was a good challenge to do. I happened to get some very creepy guestbook messages on my Madeleine McCaan lens (another missing children lens) and I forwarded the info to the proper police departments JUSt in case. They seemed like someone knew something. Weird.

Anyway, let’s see who won this thing! Final LensRank shows the following results (not in order of LensRank):

Tiffany Dow: Leanna Susan Marie Warner - Overall LensRank: #3,510; People Category: #214

Hi everyone!

If you hop on over to Kevin Riley’s new Squidoo lens that Lewis and myself created, you can see what type of work we’re doing for people for the Build My Lens launch.

It looks sharp - nice text, images, and interactive modules.

We’re gearing up to launch and testing out certain services and creations, but I wanted to share what a good branding lens looks like.

Hi everyone!

It’s great to see the lenses rise significantly. I’m going to spend a bit of time this week to tracking down more information about Leanna to see what’s been left out. I emailed their webmaster but haven’t heard back yet. They don’t have any other contact info on their webpage, which is a shame.

Okay, here are the stats for Monday for the Missing Children’s Squidoo Challenge:

Hi everyone!

My mom’s in town, so I haven’t gotten to update the challenge as often as I used to, but I did log into my lens and update it By the way, this is the FASTEST our Squidoo challengers have ever made it into the Top 100 List – usually, it takes one week.

Vic Carrara of http://www.empowersu.com/ got my email about getting the free PLR pack if you’re on my list and went to my lens, rated it, bookmarked it, and signed the guestbook.

So what does he do? He emails me and says, “Keep the PLR pack - but donate the cost to the charity!” I’m glad everyone didn’t do that, because then I’d be broke (LOL) but Vic, in your honor, I have donated that $5 plus another $45 to the Polly Klaas Foundation in honor of the memory of Polly Klaas herself.

I urge everyone else who can afford to make a donation to do it today - even $5 - they use it to help create flyers, and a whole bunch of other stuff whenever a child goes missing! Here’s the link to make a donation: Donate to the Polly Klaas Foundation

Thanks to Vic for his generosity and thanks to everyone for helping spread the word - you’re also very generous in donating your time and effort to the cause and I love you all for it!

Hi everyone!

Wow! I am so proud of all of your lenses. Listen to what I did with mine. I created it July 3rd and that’s all. Then on July 4th, I had only crept up from about 190,000 to 140,000, so I emailed my list and asked them to visit the lens, rate it, bookmark it (sharing it virally on the ‘net), and sign the guestbook.

If they did that, they’d get a free PLR pack from my PLR Mini Mart. They did it in droves. And my lens, in only TWO days, jumped to 146 LensRank overall and #1 on Google for her name.

So do whatever it takes – get those eyeballs viewing your lens. Someone YOU email might have seen your missing child.
