A Nod to Some Friends
I was working along this weekend and had a couple of pleasant surprises. First, when I stopped by to visit CleanerLife’s lens on Installing a Backup Camera I saw that a couple of my lenses were featured on the page. A very pleasant suprise! I don’t personally have a back up camera on my car, but I must say it’s something I’m considering. I’ve only had a few minor “fender benders” in my lifetime of driving, but amazingly the consistency is that I’ve backed into something that’s below my level of view. CleanerLife’s lens does a great job of showing you how to install one yourself.
On Sunday I did a very quick lens about The Samsung Instinct. It’s not the most fascinating topic but for people who love the iPhone & want to save some cash, it’s a great option. Anyway, it’s not the kind of lens I would expect to take off based on “popularity”. After publishing it, I went back less than 3 hours later to find that it had 189 visits already. Zikes! What had I done? Well, as it turned out I had done nothing. But pMolinero had stopped by and decided to submit it to StumbleUpon whereupon 180+ people decided to check it out. If you haven’t seen any of pmolinero’s lenses, I suggest you check them out. There are a variety of topics, but some of my favorites are the food oriented lenses. All About Watermelons is my current favorite and Halloumi Cheese is another that’s caught my interest as I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t love.

Isn’t it nice when someone submits one of your pages to Stumbleupon, and even nicer when it suddenly gets lots of traffic as a result.

Right now I found this backlink to two of my lenses, thank you for this.
It is really nice to get some unexpected traffic and stumble upon can bring a lot of it.
