I've written about this before, but I'm surprised when it happens. I created a new webpage on Squidoo and published it a week or so ago. Traffic has been sparce to say the least. Maybe one person every day or two. Until today when suddenly there's a lineup to get in. I check my stats fairly regularly like everyone else does and earlier today there was 2-3 visitors to this page over the last few days. I go away and come back and suddenly there over 100 people visiting the page, 99% from Yahoo, with no Google traffic at all. I just went back and it's up to 109 since I started writing this post.
How in the world do I harness this? If I could bottle it I'd make a fortune from internet marketers lol. It does show about a third are clicking out which is also good because that might mean some sales. One good thing about a sudden influx of visitors is that there should be a nice bump up in the Squidoo rankings, which means that when Squidoo pays out for lensrank for February (2 months from now), I might see a tidy little bonus depending if the page can maintain this higher rank. It will be a day or so before the higher rank is reflected on my dashboard.
I'm not quite sure how I tickled the belly of Yahoo, but they seem to be quite pleased with my efforts. Hopefully the traffic will continue pouring in and doesn't stop as suddenly as it started. Now if I could only entice the mighty Google to show me some love...

Whoa! The powers that be have given this page a hefty bump almost into the 2nd tier. It was floating around 160,000 and the page jumped today all the way up to 16,000! Very nice!
