			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it; I&#8217;m a journeyman when it comes to web traffic and SEO. I know the basics. I know how to do keyword research and how to use keywords.  But I don&#8217;t focus enough on linkbuilding. I can get 100+ visitors per week to a lens, but not <em>thousands.</em> Some people can.</p>
<p>So my tips and suggestions here can get you from raw beginner to intermediate, but not expert SEO level.</p>
<p>However, there&#8217;s something <em>else</em> I&#8217;ve learned a lot about: Squidoo in general! How to build lenses. What looks good. I probably know as much about Squidoo modules as any ordinary member, since I did <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/module-index">a test drive of every Squidoo module</a> in 2008 and again this November.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve created a new &#8220;<a href="http://squidoo.istad.org">Lensblography</a>&#8221; blog: a lensography of all my lenses done as a blog. Partly, as you should guess, it&#8217;s to build backlinks to my lenses. Partly it&#8217;s to help fans find my old lenses.</p>
<p>But on each lens, I&#8217;m going to share THREE things you may find useful:</p>
<ul>
<li>What I Learned Making This Lens</li>
<li>What I <em>Didn&#8217;t</em> Learn Making This Lens</li>
<li>Lens Stats and Milestones</li>
</ul>
<p>So check out <a href="http://squidoo.istad.org">Greekgeek&#8217;s Lensblography</a> in the weeks to come. I&#8217;ve got two lenses reviewed so far.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since my lenses tend to be looooong, I tend to develop various strategies to help folks navigate them. I like little inset tables of contents, &#8220;shortcuts&#8221; that jump to relevant parts of the page, or navigator bars.</p>
<p>So I was working on a<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-table-of-contents"> Fancy Tables of Contents tutorial</a> collecting my various ways of creating tables of contents, indexes, and the like. And I&#8217;m STILL working on it! *laugh* I can always make a small project huge. Then I have to find ways to shorten it.</p>
<p>Along the way &#8212; partly because people are making a big push to update or build Lensographies &#8212; I wound up spinning off one module onto its own page. So at least THAT tutorial is finished:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/featured-lenses-module">Build a Better Featured Lens Module</a></p>
<p>It lets you do three things a regular Featured Lens Module can’t:</p>
<ul>
<li>Feature more than 5 lenses in the same list.</li>
<li>Feature lenses in a fixed order.</li>
<li>Write a blurb before and after the featured lenses without getting cut off in mid-sentence (doncha hate that?)</li>
</ul>
<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;m still waiting for somebody to find the Easter Egg on my <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/amazing-nessie-photo">Amazing Nessie Photo</a>, where I am offering $5 to the first person who proves (without any doubt whatsoever) that it&#8217;s fake. Whoever does so is going to get a chuckle, hopefully.</p>
<p>Because a fool and her money are soon parted, and I am actually trying to teach a lesson with that lens, I will give an enormous clue:</p>
<p>PHOTOSHOP SEES MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE&#8230; <img src='http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
