    I went crazy and created several lenses a few months ago. While I have not seen a ton of traffic I think it is still a good way to get the word out (and get a few decent inbound links as well). I even made a few bucks in the process.

    http://www.squidoo.com/drumcorpsinternational/

    The one I am most interested in though is the one that focuses directly with the big money maker on my own main site, sheet music:

    Why advertise an empty lens? You're risking us giving your lens 1 star here.

    Still nothing there.

    I don't think he's a big believer in quality content.

    There are no guarantees or promises of traffic if you build a lens. If you get it from the community its a bonus, but otherwise it's like any other website, you must feed it with traffic.

    Usually the traffic will increase once your page is indexed in google. Since it is only 10 days old, it probably isn't indexed yet. Also, make sure you have good tags set up on your lens so when you are indexed you can make the most out of it. Good luck!

    It's not a splash page. Just have alook at any of the ones people are listing here (hopefully they've actually finished them, and they're not a work in progress).

    And there's many different ways you can use it.

    Once you've checked them out stop by www.squidoo.com/why and it'll explain the reasons why it's a good idea. Unless you've already signed up then check out www.squidoo.com/what which talks about what you can do next.

    Congratulations! :D Top 10 is almost impossible to achieve, but I see that lens has 126 ratings, 14 pages of guestbook entries, a pagerank of 4 and probably a huge number of regular visitors. It just goes to prove that it's worth taking the time to provide useful content.
