Actually, it has slipped since I wrote that - now it is at 83,635. And yes, that’s my lowest. I have several lenses just above it in the list with low scores. They get a little bit of traffic but apparently it comes from outside of Squidoo because the lenses have never been rated.

Is 75,590 your lowest lens? That’s incredible! I’ve got plenty of lenses with no traffic but I hesitate to change the title because my title says exactly what the lens is about. They are more informational lenses so it seems appropriate… but I get no traffic.

You’re right - “Benjamin Franklin Was A Vegetarian” does sound more punchy!

I have manipulated the titles of my lenses a couple of times. I think I was trying, at first, too much to have catchy titles and did not realize that you need to have those important tag words in there (especially your primary tag) and that the closer the tag word is to the beginning of the title, the better.

Good luck with changing your titles!

Thank you, Linda. as usual you gave me something to think about. I really did not realize I could change title of my lenses. Will look at that in my low ranking ones today. Thank you!
