The End Of May

Well today is the last day of May and I can take a look at my progress -- which is neither as good as I had hoped it would be nor as bad as I feared it would be.

May was a terribly busy month for me including attending a two-week seminar out-of-state for graduate school so I simply didn't have the time to spend on Squidoo that I normally have so some of the time I feared it would be a very bad month indeed. In that respect May turned out better.

However I did refrain from starting as many lenses as I did last month and focused more on raising the level of my existing lenses. I did succeed in that but not as much as I had hoped. Perhaps that is simply a factor of not having much time or perhaps I'm going about things the wrong way. I guess we won't know until next month.

Total # of Lenses: 183 (+7)
Total # of Groups: 13 (+6)

Traffic is up:

May Daily Digest says: You have 183 lenses, visited 1,569 times in the last 7 days.
April Daily Digest (or my guess) says: Total Visitors = 1014, Average Visitors = 6

# of Lenses in the Top 2,000 = 9 (-1)
# of Lenses in the Top 10,000 = 29 (+10)
# of Lenses in the Top 20,000 = 24 (+1)
# of Lenses in the Top 50,000 = 100 (+27)
# of Lenses in the Top 100,000 = 41 (-11)
Total Number of Lenses & Groups = 196

I would have liked to see more growth in the top tier but only losing 1 isn't too bad. I'd also like to see more growth in that third tier. I'm fairly pleased with my progress in that bottom tier although it could be better.
