I am almost done with SQUIDOO - they locked my top making money on

When was it first locked? I need to ask that. Lenses have been getting locked on false positives this week. I can't really tell without look if your lens is on the do not list. If you are fully sure that your lens is not on the do not list, try to ask them to hand review it for you. I think the worse thing they can tell you is that its not allowed. They changed some rules in July. It may have taken a while to make its rounds. The thing is, is that some of those spammers out there probably have ruined for everyone else. Don't give up on squidoo totally. You may want to try to change directions a bit. If you have topics you write a lot about on your lenses, you should create a blog around that idea and basically link back and forth between the two. You won't loose out as much if you have the two.

There is no doubt that it can be really upsetting, however you should consider making a blog or a free website of your own & trust me, you can earn 10 times more than squidoo. Happy Lotting

Oh gosh! You have worked so hard there too At this point would it be worth making your own site with your own domain to avoid those sort of problems somewhere else in future?

I haven't had this happen yet but I will keep an eye out...have you found another site to put your lenses onto? Good luck & let me know when you've moved it as I'd like to check it out.

Yes--they have a random, pointless vendetta against Acme People Search, which was also my top money making lens. They left it in the spam filter for four months when they're supposed to make a decision in seven to ten days, and they finally locked it permanently. I was very upset because that's a perfectly legitimate affiliate marketing program, but I've invested too much time and backlinking into Squidoo to leave the site over it.
