Also, landing on the front page of PlugIM brought me from #9 to #4 on page 1 of Google for my keywords.

On the 31st May I signed and created my first lens on <a title="Self Motivation" href="http://www.squidoo.com/self_motivation/" rel="nofollow">Self Motivation</a>. Being a new lens is wa ranked something like 157,001! Using simple SEO, adding original content, and sending a small amount of traffic there to get things rolling ... today (9 days later), it is ranked 73 in <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/browse/topic/education/50" rel="nofollow">How to & Education</a>, and 701 overall! Google indexed <a title="Self Motivation" href="http://www.squidoo.com/self_motivation/" rel="nofollow">Self Motivation</a> on the the 6th June and has me on page 3 for a very highly competitive search term. As that was when I was ranked 7000 on Squidoo, I'd expect a steady move to page one over the next days. For a few hours work setting it up, plus perhaps a further two hours since then, and at no cost, I am very impressed. I'm certainly going to be building more lens clusters over the next months. Kind regards, Vic Hello Jack,

To think I have not even invested in purchacing vistors to come. To date they have brought me over 200 vistors and my site is still farely young.

Then thought, why not. You did invite us to 'show off'...:-) So here goes. My best tactic came from the Authority Black Book. Nothing new, but it appealed to my own convictions so I took it as affirmation of what I wanted to do with my blog. It emphasized an uncompromising stance on valuable content. Next thing I got from the Authority Black Book was more places and ways to get traffic that made me a bit dizzy at first. I began to install Wordprss plugIns, and register at Social Networks. Top plugins so far - Ultimate Tag Warrior, Akismet, ShareThis and Wordpress Blog Stats Best 2.0 sources of traffic- Digg Technorati Shoutwire StumbleUpon MyBlogLog BlogHer www.blogher.org - is a place for women bloggers. Ladies of FTR you should sign up there and make some friends. So my visitors started climbing steadily. On June 1st I went to check my Wordpress blog stats and thought I must have had a Spam attack. It said I had 854 visitors on May 31st. I checked Akismet, and no Spam comments. Went to Google Analytics and sure enough Google showed over 900 visitors!! This is still the most popular post on my blog having received 1056 visitors alone. My total site visits now stand at 1759, up since my previous comment. This is the article - Rastafarian Miss Jamaica 2007- Black Women’s Hair Reloaded (http://www.marviaspanamajournal.com/92/rasta-miss-jamaica-black-hair) At the time I wrote this post, I was doing a series on Black Women's hair and the Bible and had no idea it would have ended up being so popular. I just wanted to add it to my collection in a series. I feel like I'm having an 'authority content' moment ! Yea, yea I know..one article an authority site doth not make ;-) but I'm working on it! Thanks for the spotlight Jack. Oh and thanks too to some of the readers here who have faved me at Technorati (remember that experiment?? I got 14 faves). Marvia Jack,
