Hello Rick!

I don't know if there will be any kind of "rush". 

For one thing, this is a whole new ballgame.  There is an open marketplace in domain names, and while there have been "squatters" who paid to hold on to a URL they thought might become valuable (a presidential candidates name, for example) there are many options available to someone who wants a specific name. 

I think what is really being sold here is the work...the service and effort of having found the information, links and photographs, and having organized it in a pleasing manner along with sprinkling in moneymaking modules appropriately, so that the overall lens is interesting, informative and potentially profitable.

Thank you for your comments and interest.  Best wishes to you!

Off Topic

Has anyone noticed Marti's use of a here-to-now unannounced  new module?


Cheers
Jeff

Marti - Can you tell us all how much money the lens has earned this year? --- Also, you are right about your lens which is developed - you are selling content indeed. That should make it more valuable.
Ralache - It would be VERY interesting to see what a top 100 would sell for - that said - since `sales' can come from the lensmaster (and not the general public) it would be helpful to see the sales info broken out somehow to avoid buying into something not there.

In NO way is it `better' trying to sell a lens with NO prior earnings. Hmmm. That definitely would lower the value IMHO. One would have to `see a reason' that the interest will be increasing in the future about Bette Davis to even have an interest. That said -- there are still plenty of Bette Davis fans whose hearts still beats.

Perhaps the new lensrank algorythm will help.  This lens has climbed tenfold, from the 11,000's to the 1,000's!

Does anyone think I'll get  an  offer on my <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/michelangelosdavid/">The David</a> Lens? It been ranking 3 or 4, probably  in the top 100 for the forseeable future,  and its already getting an income.

I wonder what  its worth.  Any ideas?

So, Margaret, I notice that you didn't actually go through with the auction on the lens.  Since Jeff seems to have been the only bid, and obviously you didn't accept it, what were you hoping to get for the lens?

This lens is #181 in Squidoo, has a PR3 and is #13 on Google. Just a little bit more tweaking and it will hit the first page and maybe up to #5 for the keyword 'Betty Davis Eyes'. At $5.25, this was a steal. Just hit the first page at it could be worth in the hundreds of dollars.

Tip: Find more keywords and add them to your title. And watch it skyrocket to the top.

Hi Margaret,

Your lens actually sits at #3 and not #4 and thats very impressive, especially beating out 254,000 other sites. Whatever its worth is what ever you do with it so I suggest that you do not change anything but just add on. When you start to remove text, graphics, etc. it will then move down the list but always keep it fresh and updated. Add more keywords to your title such as [Amish Community - Amish Culture - Amish Lifestyle] just an example but its best to find the right keywords first because those are the keywords that people are searching for.

Right now, although you're at #3 for [Amish Community]. You can also hit Google first page for another keyword. Do you see what I'm saying?.

Ok thats it for now. Bye.
