I missed a stats post ...sigh

I usually post a Squidoo stats update on or around the 20th of the month on this blog. I did gather my stats, but neglected to get the post out due to a couple pressing family issues. Okay, so that's my excuse ... but I will post my October stats soon and, hopfully,  if I can find my saved data I'll also share September for anyone who's interested.

Squidoo Snapshot - 13 June 2011

A big Squid week for me - my Squidoo lensmaster interview was published at SquidooHQ.com on June 10. I share my secrets for Squidoo success in the article, so if you want to know how I build and manage lenses that record stats like those listed below, read the interview!

Also this week I took a deep breath and reverse-engineered one of my best lenses to remove the Page Break module and reorganize the content sections. Adult Coloring Fun is one of the first lenses I created and it's also one of my  best performing, so I'm pleased to see that it's recovering a bit of lens rank now that it's returned to  a one-page mega lens. I have more planned modifications for that lens, and I've added new printable adult coloring pages and resources again this month.

Surprise and w00t! Lensmasters received an early Squidoo payday this month.  I realize my best earnings to date and  donated more than $200.00 to charity.

Here's a snapshot of my Squidoo stats today. I'm posting my monthly stats peek  a week early because I'll be pretty busy next weekend celebrating Father's Day and my younger daughter's 36th birthday.

3 Lens Experiment - Earth Day Crafts, Clip Art, Coloring

I'm running another lens rank and marketing test, this time with a set of 3 Earth Day creative / craft  lenses. I published all 3 lenses almost simultaneously - yes, I worked on all 3 at the same time.

Earth Day Coloring has reached Tier 1;
Earth Day Crafts is in Tier 2;
Earth Day Clip Art and Graphics has a long way to go before climbing from Tier 3. No surprises here.

It will be interesting to see how these 3 Earth Day lenses rank and compare against one another in a year.

Squidoo Snapshot

Lots of discussion this week around the new Lens Progress Bar in the Squidoo workshop panel. Many lensmasters are grumbling about the requirement for a lens to have 20 SquidLikes (thumbs up clicks by Squidoo members) in order to be considered "100%" complete. The change has triggered plenty of forum action as well as Twitter comments and some very creative lenses.

I'm not concerned about the 92% rating. I take it as a "complete without that bit of extra frosting" eval. I have some very good lenses that may never see 20 likes. I have several lenses that received wonderful comments but the lensmasters who visited didn't give the lens a Thumbs Up.

Being a marketing person and understanding how survey questions try to weed out inaccurate data with screening questions to eliminate such conflicting responses I'm left with a puzzling question. I'm not sure if that was an oversight on their part or the comments were somewhat meaningless.

Who knows what it means?  But it leads me to another lens idea.

I've been busy with lensbuilding for the past month.  I published 3 new lenses in the past month and am working on finishing up an Earth Day set this week.

Here's what I managed to get out of WIP in the past few days:

New Lenses

Gnomes Coloring Pages
Organic Pioneers - Stonyfield Farm, The Yogurt People
Free Patriotic Clip Art

Jazz Up Your Lens, Blog or Web Site with Google Fonts

Here'a peek under the hood (it's an easy lesson, I assure you) on how to manipulate your styles a bit to use Google's online fonts for free.

Celebrate Pi Day - 3.14 Mad March Holiday 4 Geeks   (PURPLE STAR)
Royal Wedding Coloring Pages
Royal Wedding Paper Dolls

March Madness - 3.1459 ........

March has 3 very cool holidays that I really enjoy celebrating. Until this week, however, I hadn't made a lens for the one that's closest to my geeky heart: Pi Day.

The oversight is now officially corrected. I just published Celebrate Pi Day 3.14 - Mad March Holiday 4 Geeks at Squidoo. It's a bit of nerdy history and math, and a whole lot of fun for adults or kids. Add your favorite pie recipes, add to the list of Pi puns, create and list your own Pi-Ku poetry or check out some of the links to activities and Pi Day celebration ideas.

My new Pi Day wacky holiday lens joins my collection of favorite March holiday lenses for St. Patrick's Day and Mardi Gras (well, Fat Tuesday is in March THIS year, so it counts). I guess I could also sneak in the Easter lenses because when Mardi Gras falls on a February date that means Lent ends in March, right?

But that's another story ... tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and March 14 is Pi Day.

More Angel Wings

I'm sporting Squidoo angel wings again. My first angel assignment was in October, 2001 and I flew around the entire community blessing great lenses for about 3 weeks.

Now I'm a neighborhood angel for Arts & Design in the sub-category Clip Art. I'm also the angel for the Coloring topic under Hobbies & Games.

I've been visiting lenses in both official neighborhoods and I've also discovered some blessing-worthy lenses outside my immediate categories but within my specific topics.

It's been months since I posted samples of my Squidoo stats. Since there've been so many changes to the system over the past year I thought it would be interesting to pull a snapshot of my lens rank stats and compare them to my Squidoo stats from a year ago.
