First, I wrote a couple of articles and sent them to EzineArticles.com, Bukisa.com., and ArticleBase.com.  They all accepted them.  I'm told I was naive to expect otherwise.  So now I have 2 situations where I have the same article in 3 places.  "3 Techniques That Can Turn Anyone Into A Perpetual Aspiring Writer-Advice From a Master PAW" got picked up several times.  Not everybody is giving me credit.  One of the places took it, changed it, mangled it.  I think they had a computer replace words here and there with synonyms.  It was beautiful, if I say so myself, it's incoherent on their site, if I say so myself. 

I reread it, found several errors, mispellings.  Next time I will have to proofread the proofread version.

Since it seems every ezine I send something to accepts it, I need to send out an article to only one ezine(unless I rewrite it).  I plan to write 2, one for EzineArticles.com, since I got so many hits from there, and one to another, random (the goal is to link from many sites to my lenses). 

The reuslts of the articles, there were 7 visits from EzineArticles.com to my lenses, 3 from Bookisa.com, one from the site that copied my article and mangled it.

I looked at the Squidoo ratings for my lenses every evening.  And they changed a lot.

The first lens I did is ranked 44,227th overall, and 7,655th in Shopping.  I created it on 4 days before the Samsung lens.  I diged my lens in digg.com.  I sent emails to all my firiends and family members asked them to look at my lenses, maybe bookmark them.  Not one did. 

So, I am going to create a lens in which I cover what I did and my ranking.  It will create another link ot my lenses and give people an idea of how to move fast up in the ranks.
