Sudden traffic increase

Posted by: mosaic In: Uncategorized

It shouldn’t be all that surprising, I suppose, that my Spore Game Strategies page is really starting to take off. Spore is the newest game to be released by EA. It’s still in preorder right now, but on Sunday, it’s going to revolutionize PC computer games. This game about evolution is definitely not one to be missed.

I’ve introduced my Spore Game Strategies lens before. If you hope over to the lens right now, you’ll see that it’s still mostly blank. Of course there are no hints because the game isn’t out yet! I just ordered the game myself, and I can’t wait to get it. I hope to start filling the plexos myself once I start playing.

This lens is also an experiment to see whether people who are not members of Squidoo would actually sign up on Squidoo so they can participate in my plexos. Does anyone know if the referral sign-up link leads you directly to making your first lens? Because that might confuse and turn off a lot of people. Also, since the referral link is an internal Squidoo link, it’s really too bad it won’t be shown in my click-outs stats, so I won’t even know how many people clicked!

Having a lens ready for an upcoming event is great to have. I did this for when Dr. Horrible came out, and Lewister is having amazing success with her Sarah Palin lens. It’s like surfing a wave! :)

Yes, the referral link does go to the lens building wizard, which is a pain. The Poll, Dual and Guestbook modules don’t require membership.

Good question. I have seen a few people sign up for squidoo only to be able to comment - but not many.

Referral link does take you to the Lens creation process — I just tested it while logged out.

If they try to use a plexo, they are allowed to create an identity without starting a lens.

Hey, and don’t for get to change your wording from “pre-order” to “order”, game is out now, and you want to look current

I haven’t planned on getting this game, so I’ll be watching your Lens to see if you can convince me to get it! :)
