Thanks to Nicole Marques I found Qassia, a site like Squidoo but a bit different.
 
It works somewhat like Squidoo but instead of money going to charity or you, you earn Qassia dollars which are in turn used to purchase ad space on Google. The more you write the more you earn and you can earn by reviewing what others write. Instead of lenses they are called intel...I just signed up and I am still getting the hang of fully understanding it.
 
If anyone likes to sign up they can add their store here on GCU (getting traffic to their stores and GCU is always a BIG plus) it is very easy
 
Use either my link or Nicole's and click on the sign up button on the left of the page, add your GCU (or any website including blogs) to start earning ads space.

If anyone already does Qassia please help us learn more about it.
 
Thanks

Qassia...well, it's fine if you've got the time. To garner enough points to get any sort of useful help you have to spend time there every day...sometimes reading a pile of drivel that just makes you want to barf.
 
Uh sorry - I've been with them since they were in their alpha stage and I've read some stuff that would curl your toenails    
 
Essentially, what it does it give you points (in the form of Q dollars) that they apply to your website - something like advertising I guess. The more Q dollars you gain, the more exposure your website gets. You don't actually get any money (in terms of cash, or paypal payments), unless they've changed.
 
The best way to get points added up quickly is to write articles - your own - don't post something from somewhere else unless you have permission. And be sure to use their code on the page you say you will on your website - their bots "crawl" the sites regularly, and when they do, you get points just for having the code in place.
 
It can be very time consuming for little in the way of useful help. If you've got lots of time, and want to move your website up in search rankings (and that takes a lot of time) and like to read articles (some very boring, some really interesting, others even very helpful), go for it.
 
I haven't had time to devote to Q for months now, but my site ranking remains roughly the same - because I work at it in other ways.
 
In general, I've sort of stopped using sites like squidoo, digg, foxsaver, et al.  About the only thing I do anymore is use technorati tags on my blog postings - apparently there's a technorati page about "Gracey" (that's me) but I haven't claimed it    
 
There's about a gazillion Gracey's on the internet, and about half of them are photographers too. Yesterday, I got an email from someone a lot of hours away from me asking for pricing on a professional portrait for their business. I said sure, but you've got the wrong Gracey since there's one in your town and I'm a 6 hour drive from you
