As you might know, I made an effort to become a “Giant Squid” on squidoo this past two weeks. A Giant Squid is a person that has 50 quality lenses as determined by some higher Squidoo power.

Well yesterday was the day of acknowledgment and I did not get selected. Am I devastated by this lack of recognition? No - on the contrary, this morning I am thrilled as realization stepped in.

My overall Lens Ranking on Squidoo has improved dramatically as a result of this focus. I had 5 squidoo lenses that were ranked between 49,000 and 70,000, now after a week my bottom 5 lenses are ranked between 29,000 and 36,000, a fantastic improvement in my judgment.

So what is next? I am going to hold with 53 lenses and work to improve the existing lenses. Not to say that I might not add another lens, but this will only happen if I stumble upon a topic I can just not pass on.

Starting today I took my lowest traffic lenses and created a list of 5 to begin working on. I made the observation that in 2 months or more these lenses had no traffic from Google. This told me a number of things that needed more focus.

The first lens for improvement was “fat fighting foods”. Now I ask you - What is wrong with that title? Everything. Beginning with the title I did the following:

1. Changed the title to: “Biggest Loser - Eating For Success”.
2. Re-wrote the Introduction and created new Title
3. Improved on each section sub-title
4. Fixed broken Links
5. Deleted a module that had no content

Tomorrow I will take the second lens “Candle Making Thoughts and News” and give it a make over as well.

This is the Marketing Hobo saying: Work to improve and improvement will happen.
