For now I think it is too open for abuse and the ads are not visible enough for my liking, but I am ready to be convinced otherwise :) Good points.

As far as I can tell, it's basically just like Digg, except for the fact that you have to pay in order to submit an entry. What are the direct benefits as opposed to trying to get an article promoted at Digg and Reddit, and who's to say there won't be "Squidoo Mafia"? I think the first article that promotes the idea of this will surely start to scare away potential advertises. Democracy is great, but when it comes to my own money I'm not sure if it is the best solution. Just look at how much of my earnings I'm already losing thanks to our democratically elected government is already confiscating through taxes ;) That is definitely an interesting approach to advertising, but the question is, will it be worth it from an advertiser’s point of view?

This is good to read. I'm in the beginning stages of Squidoo (haven't started a lens), but I like the idea of Squidoffers. I look forward to seeing how you progress! Thanks for experimenting.

Nobody seems to be voting (other than begged for votes) and I am having very few click throughs (although that could be because of my crappy rushed ad!)

The web has taken some really interesting turns lately...
