Five Lowest Ranking Lenses For First Week Of November and What I'm Doing About It

Five
I've had trouble with some of my lowest lenses dropping into WIP (dreaded red) status. What do I do to try and lift them? Read on... it involves checking them, sprucing them up with attention to pictures or interesting new module additions, re-ordering the information flow, and sometimes using social media to "get the interest going".

First, what are those lenses today?

  1. Franz Liszt 
  2. My Zazzle Lenses
  3. Squidoo Fireside Chat
  4. Best Belly Dance Sites
  5. Ilona's Garden, On The Web
I am in the process of improving all five, but have finished only a couple of these low ranking lenses.

Franz Liszt went into the red zone and it had been awhile since it was updated. I decided to change around how the information was presented, added some modules including a Youtube module with more music, and Blackbox with Liszt's birthdate. I may add more info in the future, but I don't want to make this a very long lens.

My Zazzle Lenses was too short with too few examples for a showcase; also, I had found a great lensmaking tool for Zazzle products which is now highlighted in this lens. I added much more of my Zazzle work, and a few more tips.

I have not yet worked on the next three:
  1. My Fireside Chat has been needing an overhaul for awhile. I intend to rewrite some of it and compile the information in a more logical way.
  2. Top Belly Dance Sites could use more information and more sites listed.This lens also could use some different types of modules and pictures to spruce it up a little. I'll look to see if it needs more links from related lenses.
  3. Ilona's Garden On The Web was the very first lens I created on Squidoo. Because of its limited topic it often struggles to maintain rank. I think I could add and recompile the info better. Perhaps build a few links to it or share it, once it has been improved.
All these lenses could use listing on the Lensroll site. I think I will get to work on that once they are improved to my satisfaction.

Well, those are the bottom five at the beginning of November 2012, and what I am doing to improve them.
