Squidoo Lens Earns $ for EarthJustice

I thought i would share this bit of fund-raising... it is after all just a BIT of fund-raising.

I have a Prosperity Mine Squidoo Lens that I started more than a year ago. Squidoo is a "Web 2.0" site, sort of a high-ranking site that lets you set up good-looking pages about anything you want. The site is called a "lens" and your lens comes with a high ranking in search engines because Squidoo.com itself is very highly ranked.  Search engine spiders crawl the site once a day at least so updates are quickly picked up and placed on Google, Bing or Yahoo.

All lenses automatically have context sensitive advertising. So my lens about Taseko Mines always has little ads on the side relating to mining products, stocks and businesses. When you create a lens you get to choose what to do with the income from advertising. In the case of my Prosperity Mine lens I chose to contribute all the revenue to EarthJustice.

Here is a snapshot of recent advertising income:

Squidoo Lens Monthly Earnings 

Alright alright, it's pennies, I just thought it was interesting that it was anything at all! You have to be up in the 1000 views per month to really see income. This squidoo lens gets about 10 visits per day from different sources. It provides a backlink to this blog and is part of the reason that this blog is ranked so high in Google for phrases like "Prosperity Mine Taseko".
