Squidoo Dead For Internet Marketers?

Howdy,
It's interesting... I am finding my squidoo lenses are ranking even better than ever, but giving me less click throughs to my money page.
I think the guys at squidoo have too much crap on the lens giving the visitors too much choice with adsense, related lenses, etc (can't blame seth for that though, it's his site, he should be able to monetize it as he wishes).
My better results are coming trying to keep the lens as simple as possible with a nice clickable picture and some basic text, and nothing to fancy (but adding enough for squidoo to be happy with it).
So again to confirm, I am happy with the organic rankings, just looking at the number of clicks from squidoo to my money page, and noticing that even though the volume of clicks is around the same or higher in some cases to my squidoo lenses, generally speaking the clickthroughs are on the decrease.
I'm getting much better results from wetpaint, would be interested in your comments.
Cheers
Tim
