Maybe I shouldn't have given away my secret for free. Maybe I should have sold it as an ebook.

Does that mean that there has been 530,000 inactive lenses? Or what?
BTW, I have sent you a mail Glen, but haven't receive a answer. Just wonder - have you receive it?

As far as I know, publishing or updating a lens gives it a small boost in lensrank.

Naaa, just a myth! Just publishing a lens, will not any value to the lensrank. But if you update/add something, then, yes, without doubt

Re: Secret to getting your lens to climb 500,000+ in Lensrank is revealed!
I believe just updating a lens and publishing it has been taking away from the lensrank algorithm.
I use to notice a small lensrank boost from a publish, but not anymore!

I haven't received it. Did you send it via my contact form? Because it's a bit hit and miss with that. There's something wrong with it I'm sure. Some get through, some don't. I'm going to submit bug report on that.

Re: Secret to getting your lens to climb 500,000+ in Lensrank is revealed!
I want to add seriously, that I am new on Squidoo, but I am setting goals for myself on the total amount of hits on my pages as well as the individual pages. When I hit a goal, yesterday was 350 hits total for my 7 days, then I set a new one--just upped my goal to 400. I am going through my lenses over and over to make them better and add more links, bookmarks etc. I figure that if I keep working on all of them and they all go up, that can only be a good thing.

Someone please continue the story. What do you do next to get the rank from 117,506 to, say, 17,506?

Oh, that's way too many steps Glen! Couldn't there just be one button and it automatically ranks well?

Re: Secret to getting your lens to climb 500,000+ in Lensrank is revealed!
getting to 50000 is easy, you just add a lot of content and module, videos, amazon etc.
getting it to 10000 is more of a challenge, this requires leaving some comments on top ranked lenses getting a lot of traffic, networking, social network sites and forums.
getting to sub 1000 is difficult.
Ive only got one lens out of 25 there and not neccesarily due to my actions, one day it just picked up and started getting loads of traffic!

Re: Secret to getting your lens to climb 500,000+ in Lensrank is revealed!
It's reasonably easy to get into the top 10,000 with only a few visits, however getting into the top 100 or higher takes both a good lens, relevant traffic, clickouts, stars, backlinks, and maybe a blessing or 2 or 3...
