Religion and Spirituality lenses (and more)
Weblog from Katinka Hesselink on any lenses she may decide to make :)
Spirituality on squidoo
Kh7spiritual on twitter- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone My Buddhist teachers would NOT agree that Buddha is an incarnation of Vishnu.
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone I know a western woman married into Brahmin families: big scandal in family. Disgrace, in fact.
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone My studies have in fact taught me that Hindu scriptures don't teach the same things - they differ as much as western philosophy
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone My tibetan teachers would definitely not agree the scriptures of Hinduism and Buddhism teach the same thing.
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone Right. How? How can I become a Hindu?
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone Well, if we're going to be casting stones: it's clear th word Ahimsa is NOT in every Hindu scripture. See: http://t.co/fkdjCoAi
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone I haven't read every line of every upanishad, if that's what you mean. I doubt you have. but that's not the point.
- kh7spiritual: Had fun skating on natural ice for the first time this winter :)
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone It's very western (though Hindus have nationalist reasons for agreeing) to equate religion with texts. Practices R imp too.
- kh7spiritual: @LuciusStone Veda's existed before Buddhism, obviously. Most Upanishads existed before Buddhism too. Hinduism as a religion: way newer.

I love seeing that traffic go up, don’t you?

Oh YEAH
For some reason the lenses in my account have been getting more and more traffic over the past weeks – I’m now at somewhere like 5500 a week. Last year it was around 3000 if I’m not mistaken.

But there are individual lenses where the traffic stats don’t look nearly as nice as this. Some of my early lenses used to get traffic, but now don’t anymore. Just a pity.

This is a great lesson for all of us
I have a couple of lenses that were published last Summer, which are picking up more and more traffic.
What is it they say about being patient and the cream will rise to the top? Hope in my case it is the “wheat” that rises to the top – ha ha!
Great to see the success you are getting Katinka.

That’s definitely the kind of traffic you want to see!
I’ve not capitlized on any of the opportunities given to Giant Squids I guess. (don’t know much about the community showcase) However, I know that getting links via higher traffic blogs/sites can do A GREAT DEAL. I don’t know how but several months ago I had a lens mentioned by BDKZ and it shot right up, just as another one of my lenses did when rms featured it on Cabaret Squidoo.

Well for giants the giant squid community showcase is great. They have a lens (just google it) where you can submit your best lenses – then people vote for them – and the one that gets most votes will be featured on the blog. I don’t know why people don’t add their lenses there more often. I guess I’m just more link obsessed than most.
