Great!  I am now at 82 lenses working toward my 100 -- gotta find lots more inspiration for sure!

With only 67 lenses, I doubt I'll be elegible for the 100 Club by the end of December. Then again, I never thought I'd make Giant Squid at the end of September.

I'm in the race! 74 lenses as of today....

There's no doubt in my mind that you - Joan and Deb - are going to make it! 

Go, Joan! Go, Deb! Go, Joan! Go, Deb! Go, Joan! Go, Deb!     

Go on guys, you can do it. Wishing you all lots of luck. Chef I know you too can do it. Go for the kill...........

Is the 100 group an official thing? If so, is there a list of people?

I send mail and asked CCGAL and OldGrampa to come and join this thread!

As formal Fresh Squids they have 36 and 40 lenses by now and I think that they both have quality, will and enough time to make quantity by December, 31st!

So, hope they will join in!

Thanks willow! I am certainly going to join in.

I have made it to 40 lenses and definitely plan on applying for Giant Squid the next time around.

Thanks Thomas!
Why not share your tips here where everyone can learn from them?

Ah put me on the spot eh!
Here are some simple tips....
Which lens are you going to edit today?

I edit the lenses that are border line top tier! Each day I will edit the lenses that are sitting between 2000-4000 lensrank!

I will also watch the date that I last made an edit to a certain lens. If it has slipped past a week or more i make it a priority to edit that lens.

Always add something new when you edit, google and other search engines want to see some fresh meat added to a page. If google comes back for a visit and doesn't see anything new added, it is safe to say, they might just lower your placement in there search results.

FEED GOOGLE!!!

What’s the rush? To produce a magic number for a gong or recognition?

Isn’t it time that Squidoo acknowledged lensmasters producing quality over quantity?

Isn’t it time that Squidoo stepped back a little, and acknowledged loyal lensmasters who have produced a small but valuable input?

Isn’t it time that Squidoo searched the archives to recognise quality lenses instead of the incessant promotion of puerile LOTD’s.

Clearly not. The measure of success on Squidoo is the volume of production. It seems to me that you’re teaching granny to suck eggs. If you keep all those eggs in the same basket, others will break – don’t lose those free range eggs – they are fragile!

If you want battery farmed eggs – then you will get them, but we all know they are a false economy.

There are some exceptions (quality LM's who are almost at the target) – but let such people reach it in their own time at their own leisure without feeling brow-beaten to satisfy the whims and fancies of populist marketing.

Good luck to those who wish to join the contest.
