A Squid Named SusanVillasLewis

And then made a lens on it -  http://www.squidoo.com/hedge-trimmer
Can’t spend all my time indoors at the computer. I think.

I am quite frustrated with my pictures right now. For convenience’s sake, I put everything into Picasa. Works off my Google account, so it’s easy to get to and I don’t have to remember yet another log-in. But I’m finding it rather erratic as to whether my pictures actually show up. Perfect example is my [...]

I’ve been watching my traffic all day - that line at the top of the Daily Digest that says “you have x lenses, visited x times in the past 7 days”. (Not mentioning that the AP style side of me doesn’t like numerical 7 there. It’s been steadily creeping up and had made it [...]

Freaky traffic can be fun, but I always wish I had better info as to where it came from! Had 65 people drop by my Adventure & Exploration: First Woman To lens yesterday. Not a clue why or how. (Which is frustrating because you can’t duplicate it.)

Life of Lewister post: How old do you like your books? Features my newest lens on historical fiction set in Rome.

Isle of Squid question - Just submitted my first lens over there. (What can I say? I’m slow sometimes.) Have a feeling I’m missing something there about the process. Not sure what the reciprocal links are supposed to be or how I figure out what mine is. It asks you for it when you first [...]

Just got emails that two of my CJ companies are changing affiliate programs. This is where having a system would be helpful, huh? I can’t remember if I ever actually created links to anything on those sites, much less where they would be. Sigh. I know where I used one, but I can’t be certain [...]

I really didn’t like the TOC/Explore bar when it was put in this last layout change. Still would like to have it elsewhere. But I can say it definitely works - in some cases. My Child’s Play Charity lens (which I should promote more) has been getting 10-15 hits a week now, up from 0. [...]

Long-tail lenses. I seem to have quite a few, which is great. But how best to promote them? How best to tag them? How best to word them? I’m at a little bit of a loss because it’s just overwhelming. And I seem to have quite a few for some reason. Something to ponder.

Well, my novelty cycling jerseys lens has been de-indexed by Google. Which means traffic has seriously dropped off. However, thanks to the efforts I’ve made adding it to lensroll, bookmarking at de.li.cious, blogging here and on my main blog - if you search for “novelty cycling jerseys” in Google, nine of the first 10 entries [...]
