What are Squido lenses and how do I create one?

I've been reading a lot about squido lenses, what are they and how do I create one? What needs to be in it?

Think of it as a one page website on a free host , they have a few modules you can add and you can monetize with an Amazon , Adsense and Chitika (works on a revenue sharing bases with Squidoo.)

You basically add your content with a few links to your money site , however some people do have a network of these sites and generate an income , most do however use them as a way to develop linkwheels , together with Blogger , Wordpress and various other free hosted platforms.

You can also check out Hubpages as it is similar to Squidoo - Since the Panda update I think Hubpages and Squidoo have lost some of their authority , but I still think that you can use it as part of your mainstream back linking strategy.

But, do they allow adult content to run on their sites?

Probably not.

Imo I'd move onto other free web2.0 properties before using squidoo.
Sure you can still use them, but Google doesn't love them the same as 4 years ago.

So a lens is a single page where you write whatever you feel like writing, and for each new topic you create another lens? They host your articles for free and give you a share if the advertising?

That's the impression I'm getting too. So I'll put that idea aside :)
