We have had a few people inquire about the health of their lenses, so here is some explanation:
Lens Title:
You want to include your keyword/phrases in your lens title, your first paragraph, throughout the lens and in your anchor text.
Lens Intro Title:
This goes along with what I mentioned above. Your module title should have your keyword/phrase in it as well.
Intro Photo:
This needs to match your title tags. When you save the picture.... right click on the picture and "save as" whatever your keyword is. This helps.
Primary Tag:
This relates to your lens or you may need to add secondary tags that match your lens better. There are many debates on how many you should add - either a few or a higher number. You can do a test to see what works.
Last Published:
This is when you last updated your lens. If it has been a while, you should do it more frequently. Make sure you update your lenses so that the search engines pick your lens up and gets them ranked high.
Star Rating:
You have to get more traffic to your lens. You can do this by making sure your lens is in some of your forum signatures so that people will click on it and go to your lens.
Number of Tags:
Make sure you have a good amount of tags. It should tell you that you have a good amount as you are adding them.
Traffic:
This goes along with what I mentioned in the Star Rating section.
Module Titles:
Make sure you have your keyword/phrases in a couple of them. Make sure they are incorporated throughout.
Then there is the Squidaholic report:
This will tell you who is looking at your lens.
This will also help you with the social bookmarking sites like Digg or StumbleUpon, etc.
Don't get too excited if you have a couple that don't match up with their system, because it is just that a software program that matches the words up to their health checker, so it might actually be okay.
We are hoping that this helps anyone who had questions about this. If you have any more, please post them under this thread so we can all benefit from the information. :)
