Putting Spirituality’s advice into practice: Day 1

I have just had the busiest two weeks in my Squidoo life (that is the last six months), which has meant that I have had to delay making use of the fantastic advice I received about my newest lens Lose weight from Spirituality in two of her Squidtop posts last week:

Weight loss lens pulled apart

Reviewing aj2008 – linkbuilding.

I now have a bit more time and have printed off what Spirituality wrote (nearly 4 A4 pages!) and am about to put her advice into practice. I am recording the lens stats from today, so that I can see what happens:

Visits: 51
Star ratings: Average 5, rated by 25 people
Lensrank: 1,844
The highest ranking the lens has got so far is 1,453, at a time when I have been so busy that I have not had time to promote it very much outside of Squidoo.

I find I can generally give my Lensrank a boost when it is first published by posting on the SquidU forum, Twitter, Tagfoot and sending a Squidcast. This and any Angel Blessings I am lucky enough to receive, usually get the lens going, as I work out what other promotion I need to do, while I wait before hopefully Google and the other Search Engines start to find me.

I have now changed the title to Losing weight with a wheat free diet and am off to research some of the key words that Spirituality suggested plus revisit a couple of her lenses for a refresher course about keywords and SEO.

I have a feeling that some of my other lenses – heck who am I kidding, it will be all of them – will also need the Katinka treatment. Ah well, better to do it now while I only have 23 lenses to look at…..

    “The Katinka Treatment” I like it!

    I realized that I hadn’t seen that Lens yet, so just read it over, rated, commented favorited it. It’s very good, hope it does well for you!

    The Katinka treatment? I don’t think I’m that original in my advice :) but honoured to be named a treatment anyhow…

    I too am very curious about whether you will be able to conquer this very crowded niche.
