Squidblog

I’ve recently added some wicked banter to my cocktail conversation, and as it’s Squidoo related I thought I’d share.

So, I’m at a bar the other night and a friend says: So, Gil, how’s work?

And not that I didn’t have great answers before, but this one tops them all: Well, search MSN for “hot girls” and a Squidoo lens is the 1st result. Number one!

Now, since Megan said so, I should qualify my excitement. For those of you who don’t know the true most popular searches on the web, they’re usually… unmentionables. “Hot girls” is one of the tamer queries of the bunch. BUT, it’s still an incredibly popular search. Which means that not only are our lenses truly showing up in Google, a lot, as planned—they’re coming up in some of the most competitive territory online.

On a more serious note, our lensmasters have been asking recently how things are shaping up at Squidoo, so I thought I’d give a quick update. Despite the summer heat, our traffic has been increasing steadily—so much, in fact, that we’ve managed to double the number of weekly visitors in the past 3 months. That’s great news for Squidoo, and great news for our lensmasters, who have been working hard on building a community chock full of recommendations, knowledge, and resources. Congrats!
