Comments on: The Squidoo Dashboard: What Lens Stats Tell Us http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2009/04/squidoo-dashboard-stats/ How to Squidoo, SEO, and My Squidoo Odyssey Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:38:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Greekgeek http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2009/04/squidoo-dashboard-stats/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Greekgeek Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:56:23 +0000 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/?p=122#comment-13 I like your idea of trimming your Squidoo tags list using the color-coder to check for tags that aren't common. I do it from time to time, but it isn't part of my standard "updating/freshening lens" routine, and it ought to be. For anyone who doesn't have it, Spirituality is very right: go to <a href=http://squidutils.com rel="nofollow">SquidUtils</a> and get Fluffanutta's SquidUtil's Advanced Dashboard.

I can't figure out why Fluf insists on only 10 to 15 tags. I think he may be worried about keyword stuffing - but I certainly don't bother limiting my tags to 20 or less. In practice what I do is I do general tags - add tags from the stats automatically - and then when it is time to update, I shorten those added tags to tags that other people have already used (checking with the greasemonkey script by fluf ). But really, even if 15 tags or so is optimal, I'm convinced it's not very important either way. Great summary of important SEO & lensrank points.
