*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Re: 1,000,000 Page Views
The level of traffic you're getting to that lens is simply phenomenal, flowski - I see it's been getting close to 20,000 visits per day this week. JaguarJulie even wrote a blog post about it.
Well done!
PS: I'd love to get a glimpse of what's in your Amazon Associate account... must be into 5 figures by now

Re: 1,000,000 Page Views
Wow. Now This is good SEO.
(That shows some of the search phrases this lens has nailed. Although I'm assuming social networking and direct links are also responsible for much of that traffic.)

That's a nice blog post from Jaguar Julie. Yes it's been amazing. Thanks for the wonderful product links from SquidUtils they have helped organize gift ideas and monetize the lens. They do work.

Re: 1,000,000 Page Views
I was almost afraid to post that link -- someone's probably going to try and copy you now because you're so successful!
But you have a headstart with all these backlinks, so I think your lens is strong enough even a copycat can't hope to exploit your success.
Congratulations on great work!

Flowski
Oh great master of SEO!
My http://www.squidoo.com/TopToysforXmas was doing great in November and then unexpectedly started to lose traffic in December but I don't know why.
SEO is such a black art!
Any way congratulations to you it just shows you that there is no limit to Squidoo!
