Getting Traffic to Your Lens

We had a nice discussion on the JJJ-2 ning yesterday about the importance of visiting. Visting other lensmasters may be the one single most important thing to do for your own traffic.

Warning - do not leave a link in someone's guestbook. If people want to visit you, they can click on your picture and discover your links. I personally remove comments with links.

But I do strongly suggest you visit at least 10 lenses a day. Visit the top 100 in every category to start. and leave a positive comment. If a lens is in the top 100, it is most likely a lens to study! How does a lens get to the top 100 in any Squidoo category? Many many visits, comments, rankings and favorites. Study these lenses to discover the secret of their success!

And have fun Squidoo-ing! Get involved in the community!

Visiting Lensmasters to Learn

Happy Birthday to Lensmasters with July birthdays!

John Dilbeck on July 1
Jaguar Julie on July 9
Seth Godin on July 10
Janelle Kleppin on July 23

Now here's the idea -- Visit at least one of these lensmasters lenses on their birthday and say Happy Birthday in the comments section! Birthdays are a fun celebration on Squidoo!

Note -- and these particular July birthday folks are great lensmasters to learn from. Visit and pay attention, my friends!

Note to newbies --remember -- do not leave your link in your comment. That is considered rude behavior at Squidoo. Make a comment relevant to the lens, and say Happy Birthday! It's fun!

and to keep up with all the birthdays in the future, simply go to Happy Birthday Tribute. Don't forget to add your own birthday! :)
