<p>I have to admit that I&#8217;m not much of a stats checker but today I decided to do a little investigation work on my blog and lens stats and I&#8217;m happy to report that since I&#8217;ve been keeping up with my <a href="http://www.cabaretsquidoo.com">Cabaret Squidoo</a> recipe blog on a nearly daily basis (throughout October) my stats at the blog have increased two-fold and the click through rate for the recipe lenses featured there has increased drastically!</p>
<p>Just saying&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>P.S.  I&#8217;d love to see more of the Giants best recipe lenses featured there.  If you have any great recipe lenses please stop by the </strong><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Best-Recipes"><strong>Cabaret Squidoo Group</strong></a><strong> and drop them off.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Take these recent blog posts for example;</strong>  If you were reading some of the best blogs about Squidoo you would have learned <a href="http://bdkz.typepad.com/giant_squid/2008/10/101-holiday-lens-ideas.html">101 really terrific Holiday Lens Ideas</a>.  You would have learned <a href="http://squidutils.com/blog/lens-building/making-the-most-of-squidoo-tags">How to Make the Most of your Squidoo Tags</a>.  You would have learned that it is possible to make <a href="http://www.captainsquid.com/can-squidoo-make-you-500-in-one-day-yep">$500.00 in one day</a> with your Squidoo lenses.  You would have learned about <a href="http://www.squidoocool.com/if-you-love-squidoo">other places similar to Squidoo</a> where you can promote your lenses. </p>
<p>The keyword phrase here is:  <strong>You would have learned</strong> some really great stuff!</p>
<p>Keep in mind, I&#8217;ve only referrenced 4 blogs here.  I didn&#8217;t even mention posts from the <a href="http://blogs.squidoo.com/squidblog/">Official SquidBlog</a>, The <a href="http://www.squidu.com/blog/">Squidu Reveiw</a>,  The <a href="http://blogs.squidoo.com/lensoftheday/">Lens of the Day Blog</a>, The (secret) Giant Squid Tips Blog or any of the other really fantastic blogs being written about Squidoo everyday. </p>
<p>For your convenience the Giant Squid Community Showcase provides rss feeds of some of the best and most helpful Squid blogs right here on the main page.  <strong>Read &#8216;em daily, learn, and become a more successful lensmaster.</strong></p>
<p><em>Know of any really helpful Squidblogs that I&#8217;m missing here?  Leave me a link and I&#8217;ll gladly add the feed.</em></p>
