Squidblog

Gil’s right. Squidoo lenses are getting discovered.

Our Googleism is working. (And MSNism and Yahooism, etc). Why? Because lensmasters are making relevant, handbuilt, curated and authentic pages. And bloggers are posting about them. And Diggers are digging them. And Delicious-ers are bookmarking them. And so the traffic economy goes. The good stuff rises.

But don’t take my word for it. Check out some examples (from the crowded restaurants and food categories):

search Google for “north end boston” and Dave Pye’s awesome Boston’s Little Italy lens is the 3rd result.
search for “french culinary institute.” the lens is on page 2
search for “healthy greek recipes” and it’s the 8th result
search for “kinsale tavern” and my lens is the third result. (It really is the best pub ever).
or, wow, something as broad as “vegetarian new york” and it’s on page 2…

Similarly, we have a wealth of great author lenses (or reader fan lenses) and several of them show up in top results in Google when you search for the author’s name or the book title. See some examples here www.squidoo.com/authorsonsquidoo.

Kudos to all our lensmasters.
