Squidoo Error Says I Made $600!

So I log into my Squidoo account today, and I see this big blue message across the screen saying Congratulations, your one of the top earners for 2007 with over $600. I kid you not, I thought I had some sort of windfall traffic that came to me or something. Except the next line stated my earnings very clearly, which was around $3.18. So what’s going on with Squidoo today?

I took a screen of the error message here: I really don’t think $3.18 qualifies as one of the top earners, so maybe its just a blanket message that was broadcast by accident? Does anyone else have some Squidoo pages that can login to check if you have received the same error message? Man if only I actually received $600 from it, that would have made my day.

By the way if you do have a Squidoo page, link it over to me I’ll be happy to stumble the page for you to bring in some extra visitors. I just recently created my third page which is just a Squidoo Video fan page for Monty Oum.

If you are not familiar with Monty Oum, he’s the machinima artist who created Haloid, Icarus, and Dead Fantasy. The most amazing thing about his videos is that they are created by him alone without a team, or director. Here is one of his videos called Haloid which was released a while back. The two characters are Samus from Metroid, and Master Chief from Halo, hence the merged title ‘Haloid’

If you like this one check out the Squidoo page I made which has the other videos Monty Oum created, and give it a stumble or a Squidoo rating =).

I did not recieve this message, but with an average of $30 a month from Squidoo, (about $360 per year) I was told in the past that I was one of their top 10 lesnsemasters (I won an award for it).

oh… a quick P.S. here

I have 206 Squidoo lenses, which is how I earn $30 a month on Squidoo. I am #8 on their list of the lensmaters with the most lenses and one of my lenses is in the top 100.

Anyways my point is, that unless you have a huge ammount of lenses with a few of those in the top 100 list, than you shouldn’t have gotten that message, because the average pay out for the average lensemaster is .37c per month. (or about $4.50 per year)
