Been busy converting Squidoo Groups into lensographies

The only problem I had with the news that Squidoo was reviewing what to do with Groups was that the announcement came months ago and then nothing was heard for a long time. To be honest I had given up joining Groups long before the announcement from HQ because so many only seemed to exist so that the Group owner could do a heap of self-promotion.

However, last week all our Groups were converted into Lenses and put into WIP. I have tidied mine up sufficiently to now re-publish them as lensographies:

Weight Loss

Children and Parenting

Both are already ranking far higher than they ever did as Groups so I am very happy with the change.

And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you – one of them is about Weight Loss. I am still on my crusade to prove that dieting and weight loss lenses do have a place on Squidoo and that it IS possible to have lenses on this topic that are quality and not Spammy.

Had they been very big groups though I am not sure I would be quite so happy. Tidying up these two groups was very time consuming, despite them being very small but the improved Squidoo rankings make it all very worthwhile!
