Folks,
I had a lens which was getting decent traffic and was earning good money. I had default payment settings -> To charity.
Lately I watched the earnings went high to considerable limit that I changed the payment settings. Yeah, I wanted the money right in my paypal.
To my surprise, squidoo closed my lens and when I contacted them, they said, it is inappropriate type of lens. Of course it is affiliate related website. I see quite a lot of lenses roaming around the net.
The lens was alive over an year. They just closed when I changed the payment settings. Any one faced similar situation?

Hello Samuel - I am sorry to hear that. They are shutting down lenses again that they call inapporpiate. I had some of my lenses targeted as well that were totally fine, but I just deleted them as they weren't getting that much traffic anyway.
You may want to take this opportunity, now that you KNOW you have a good niche... to set your own site where YOU have control over what you can market.
If you were getting decent traffic then you would benefit from being able to place your own adsense ads on it as well.
Time to take another step up.

I hope it is okay to post this for informational reasons only:
(This is not me Lens/
http://www.squidoo.com/squiddont
After these changes were made, I had to un-publish my affiliate Lenses as well.
This is why it is best to have our own websites/domains and use Squidoo, Hubs, etc. to create quality back link to out main sites.
I know, Squidoo ranks well, but we must stay within the TOS.
At least that are kind about it as opposed to other platforms.
Victoria
