1. How to use Link Bombs to your advantage

Link bombing has been around for awhile and all it really is is a SEO tactic which some people used to link certain words to certain websites. As soon as I heard about things like this and read up on how they did it, it made me look at this search engine optimization tactic in a different light.I like many others who have read a little on search engine optimization look upon it as an impossible task. But along comes the link bomb and proves how easy it can be to do some of these little tricks.In this lens I will show you how to use the tactics used in link bombing and hopefully like me you should be able to rank a lot better in google (and the other search engines) for a single long tail keyword.

In this lens I will show you some of the best Christmas songs ever and also some great Christmas songs by some great artists.

I hope you enjoy this lens and have a very Merry Christmas.

4. The Farseer Trilogy

The Farseer Trilogy is Robin Hobb's first outing into the world of fantasy novels, a genre so complex that stories usually come in the minimum of trilogies and not single book novels.

The Farseer Trilogy follows the story of FitzChivalry Farseer and is wrote from his perspective. Fitz is trained as an assassin but not the type of assassin that you would imagine. He is not the best sword fighter or even the best brawler and he possesses a magic that is not what people would expect in fantasy stories.

If you are expecting a Lord of the Rings type story you would be disappointed until you emerged yourself in Robin Hobb's masterful storytelling. There is no elves or dwarves or even goblins and the magic is not from fireball throwing wizards. I don't want to spoil the story by giving it all away, all I can say is if you enjoy fantasy novels this is a must read and a welcome diversion from mainstream fantasy.

The Farseer Trilogy is the first of three trilogies set in The Realm of the Elderlings, the second being The Liveship Traders Trilogy with the latest being The Tawny Man Trilogy.

6. Sammo Hung

If you have never seen Sammo Hung before, when you see him your first impression would be...Oh my God he is fat and out of shape and you couldn't be more wrong. This first impression thing Sammo used to his advantage to introduce his show Martial Law to a new audience. Sammo is in fact a very fit Martial Artist who uses his appearance and the first impressions law to his advantage in a lot of his work.Sammo Hung is a Kung Fu film star, director and choreographer. He went to the same Opera school as the legendary Jackie Chan and together with Yuen Biao they are collectively known as the three brothers.Sammo Hung has directed and/or starred in numerous Jackie Chan films, but he is a star in his own right. In this lens I will highlight some of his best work.

7. Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight on Squidoo

Dragonlance was created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman as a set of gaming modules for the hugely successful Dungeons and Dragons role playing game in the early 1980s.The world of Dragonlance was the first fictional world to be professionally produced as a role-playing game world with product tie-ins (novels, role-playing modules, figurines, etc.).Since its conception there has been over 190 novels set in the world of Dragonlance. Now over 20 years after its birth they have announced the first Dragonlance movie set for release in September of 2007.Unfortunately the film is not live action but animated (lets hope they do a good job on it) and will be released straight to DVD.

8. Wong Fei Hung

Wong Fei Hung is the most portrayed character in movie history. He was a martial artist, a master of Hung Ga (a style which according to legend was named after Hung Hei-Gun during the time of the Qing Dynasty). He choreographed the famous Tiger Crane Paired Form Fist, which incorporates his "Ten Special Fist" techniques and he was also famous for a technique known as the "No Shadow Kick. Wong Fei Hung has been portrayed in movies by such famous people as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li and Kwan Tak Hing who made so many Wong Fei Hung films that he was nicknamed "Master Hung". Kwan Tak Hing portrayed Wong Fei Hung in over 75 films - Wikipedia can't make its mind up of how many Wong Fei Hung films there were in this series, so far i found two different numbers 77 and 99. The reason for this is that many of the films Kwan Tak Hing made have disappeared or deterioted beyond use.

9. ROSE Video Showcase

One of my favourite Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) is ROSE. Unfortunately after just over a year of playing I maxed out and got banned from the game forum for complaining about lack of updates and the level cap, so as a result of this I no longer play the game. Nevertheless it is still a great game and well worth a try.On YouTube there are many tribute videos to this game and as such I will highlight them on this lens as a one stop to view them all without the annoying page changing you have to do on YouTube.

10. NOW That's What I Call The 80's! Video Showcase

The latest of the NOW CDs has just been released (October 29, 2007) and the best way for you to know if you would like to buy the album is to have a sampler from it. So on this lens i am featuring all the music videos of the songs on the album. So glance down the list and be amazed at how many of the songs are actually still on YouTube. Of course, it goes without saying that if you like this album you really should purchase it. In my opinion this is definitely not the definitive eighties collection as quite a few artists are conspicuous by their absence. Artists like Adam & The Ants and Shakin Stevens just to name two are absent from this collection.Some of the songs that NOW have picked are of course excellent but there are many better that they could have chosen instead. But having said that there are not that many songs that can be featured on a CD set even if that set consists of 10 CDs (which this set does not).

11. MMORPG Video Showcase

I was first introduced to computer role playing games back in the days of the ZX Spectrum and ever since they have been my favourite kind of games. They are games where every time you play you don't have to start again from the begining but continue from where you left off. You gain an attachment to your character(s) as you build it and advance through the levels.

Computer role playing games have advanced in leaps and bounds (as has everything else) and now instead of playing these games by yourself you can now play them online and make many many online friends. These games are now known as MMORPGs - Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game - and now come in all sorts of different forms. They are no longer limited to player vs computer generated monster and the genre has spread out. The style of MMORPG out there include the traditional style, golf, car racing, adult themes and complete online experiences.

On this lens I will show you trailers to some of the different MMORPGs out there with links to the official game sites and leave you the reader to make your own choice on which you would like to try.

12. Speed Freaks

Speed Freaks is a collection of model cars that are really miniature caricatures rather than straightforward replica models. The collection was designed by Terry Ross a self-proclaimed class 1 petrol head and he has successfully mastered the art of making models of cars and bikes look as though they are doing 150mph whilst standing still!.When Terry started making these caricatures he concentrated on creating private commissions. Among the very limited productions were the Ferrari 355, McLaren M8D and Valentino Rossi on the motorbike that won him the 2001 500cc MotoGP season. Each of these exclusive limited editions retailed at £995 as they were exceptional pieces, made to order.

13. Shakin Stevens Video Showcase

Shakin Stevens was my favourite artist when I was younger, but unlike many other artists he wasn't an overnight success. Shakin Stevens paid his dues in the music industry for 10 years before he had his first hit single.Shakin Stevens started out in the group 'Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets' who first went professional in 1969, they released 13 singles but none of them made it big. Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets parted company in 1977.After breaking up from The Sunsets Shakin Stevens went on to produce solo records. He also appeared in a Jack Good West End Musical which was revamped into a television show called 'Oh Boy', this was the turning point in Shakin Stevens long struggle for success. His second single "Somebody Touched Me" made it into the top 40 in Australia but it wasn't until his 8th solo release that he started to make it big. His eighth single was "Hot Dog" which had of course been featured in 'Oh Boy' and the rest we say is history.Shakin Stevens had 39 hit singles, 36 of which were consecutive, and in the UK alone achieved four Number 1s and three Number 2s.

19. Wizard's First Rule

I have just finished listening to the audiobook Wizard's First Rule read by Dick Hill (there are two versions, the other is read by Jim Bond). This is definitely one of the most atmospheric audio books I have ever heard. The characters are portrayed brilliantly and is a definite must buy.

20. Model Railway Video Showcase

I have always been fascinated with Model Railways but unfortunately I have never had the space to make my own.

Model Railway building is a hobby that can engulf a lifetime if done right. Building a layout can take years if done correctly, its not just as simple as buying a train set and putting the track together as there are many other things to consider like landscaping and proper track layout.

I have created this video showcase to show you the reader how good model railways can look when they are finished. Enjoy.
