Election/Political lens package

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I never would have thought that I would be doing political/election lenses. They just kind of landed in my lap. I would have been working on them long ago to get the SEO going and promotion and so forth. But it is what it is. I just never would have imagined the kinds of things [...]

Renting the #1 spot for a while

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Sarah Palin is #1 today. Wow. I really didn’t think it would be possible to knock Janet out, however temporarily it might be. Traffic has hit what should be a stable 40K a week for a while until the debate in Oct.and election in Nov.
So have I done everything I possibly could now at Squidoo? [...]

Random observations from my dashboard

Friday, September 5th, 2008

It’s easy to get caught up in the hubbabaloo over Sarah Palin and miss what’s happening with the rest of my dashboard. So here’s a few random things I’m noticing.

Of my 133 live lenses, only seven of them have had no traffic in the past week. Given that one’s my testing lens and five are [...]

I am one today!!

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

At least, my very first lens is. I think Seth had another post about Squidoo that day, which reminded me that I wanted to come over and try it. I’m pretty sure it took me several days to actually get around to publishing the thing because I did a lot of research on it and [...]

I am a spam magnet today. What gives?

Changing my avatar

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Just because it was time. And because I must copy everything Victoria does. Ya know, it’s kind of funny and has the potential to be creepy, I think. I seriously don’t mean it that way. I am not in the least bit creepy. Not even a little. Socially awkward at times, but not creepy.
(However, it [...]

Getting bad about keeping this guy updated. I think I didn’t think through clearly how it would be different from my main blog when I started. I talk about Squidoo all the time over there. Maybe I need to focus that one differently or reduce the Squidoo posts and just post Squid stuff here. Hmmm.

Dum, da, dum!! Next goal met!

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Well, part of it at least. I have officially passed the 125 mark of published lenses. And I’m pooped. But I got it done before the Thirty Day Challenge starts Friday (or Thursday night, I’m not sure because of time differences). Hoping to learn good stuff there that will help me get to the other [...]

Monetizing a charity page?

Friday, July 25th, 2008

I’m sitting in the midst of a conundrum. Seriously. What to do, what to do.
I did a page about collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. I had no idea there was such a need for this information out there, but I’ve quickly gone over 120 visits per week and the number just steadily [...]

Lovely. Browsing through lensroll.com and found a Kung Fu Panda lens. Since I have one (that’s been bouncing up and down into the #1 spot in Movies for a while), I went to see what this one was all about. And two of the pieces of art on the page were taken from my lens. [...]
