Squid-Algebra Problem

Squid-Algebra Problem

Mr Hedman is obsessed with Squidoo. He currently has three lenses. Harry Potter Fan Art is currently ranked #148. While Waiting for Harry Potter 7 is currently ranked #505 and Harry Potter Music is ranked #1618.

These numbers are good enough that Mr. Hedman is #95 on the Top 100 Lensmaster list. He wants to publish The Giant Squid AND stay on the Top 100 Lensmaster list.

What ranking does the new lens need so Mr. Hedman stays on the list? What other information is needed to answer this question?

 

Blog Focus

I’ve decided to focus on three different themes on my new blog.

1. Lessons from Blog Traffic School:

This summer I plan on learning everything I can about promoting my blog(s) and increasing traffic. I will be discussing what I learn here. This will include things that work as well as things that don’t.

I also will be building and promoting several lenses at Squidoo.com. It’s not exactly the same thing as blog promotion, but I plan on discussing strategies I learn about lens promotion.

2. Harry Potter

Many great writers say you should start writing about things you know and/or are passionate about. I do know a few things about Harry Potter and am a big fan. So I will be writing a little bit about my thoughts on the wizard and the effect he has had on our society.

3. Math Class

I am, technically, a math teacher so I also plan on discussing things I have tried, or plan to try in my math class.

One of my big concerns is that I try to cover too many topics on one blog. I hope these three don’t diffuse my efforts too much.
