Squidoo: how to build lensrank

Spirituality, Squidoo Angel and Giant Squid,
has built a lens on how to improve lensrank.

In previous posts, I mentiond the importance
of regular updating of Squidoo lenses and the value
of blog feeds for improving lensrank.

Spirituality explains the nature of lensrank,
its purpose and how lensrank can be improved.

She indicates that lensrank is influenced by
lens freshness, visitors, whether you're a Giant Squid,
number of clickouts, blessing by a Squidoo Angel
(temporary boost), etc. Check it out on the link:
How is Squidoo Lensrank Determined?

While you are there make sure you visit and comment
in the Guestbook - that's where you find the current
discussion on what's impacting lensrank:

Thanks for the mention & the links :) Always appreciated.

Updating can help a lot in lensrank. Especially lower tier lenses in the 50000 for instance can halve their lensrank with a simple update. Unfortunately, the higher you go, the harder the competition. A lens with lensrank 10000 may temporarily move into second tier (say at 5000) but without traffic to sustain it there, will drop to below 10000 again before you know it.

Since payout is, these days, dependent on average lensrank - using only regular updating as a strategy is not going to work. So your advice on marketing is also very necessary.
