I'm happy to share my May 2010 Squidoo payout which is my highest one so far, thanks to the ever-increasing ad pool payouts and (to lesser degree) InfoLinks which I enabled about 2 months ago. The payout was $196 and InfoLinks made up about 11% of that sum.
Squidoo payout tiers for May 2010 were as follows:
High LR: $16.16
Medium LR: $2.75
Low LR: $0.14
The tiers for InfoLinks were:
Tier 1: $5.07
Tier 2: $0.86
Tier 3: $0.04
You might have noticed some new things on Squidoo this month. First is the new and improved rating and social bookmarking stripe. Squidoo has moved from the 5 star rating system to a simple "like" button. They've also removed the big Facebook/Twitter badges that I admit were pretty annoying to me and replaced them with simple buttons. As a result, the header takes up less vertical space, so more of your content appears above the fold. Sweet! Note that the ratings stripe now appears at the bottom of the lens, too - so if you've been using the Lens Love module for that, you might want to remove it or place it elsewhere.
The second big news is the Summer Sunshine Award for Charity contest that will go on for 2 months with one lensmaster winning $99 every day! What you have to do is make a great lens and set it to donate its earnings to charity. More information here.
