    There is so much info here--I have to read it several times! Thanks for the great article.

    Nice lens. I put a guestbook on every one of my lenses too, it's always nice to get comments (and I think it also counts as fresh content for Google).

    I'll revisit some of my lagging lenses to see how I can add debate topics to some of them. Thanks!

    You've encouraged me to make a debate lens. OK, now to think of a topic. This is VERY useful information.

    Super lens Carrie packed with really useful information

    I just Tweeted and bookmarked this page. Your advice can be applied to a Squidoo lense or a website.

    Thanks so much for such great and helpful information.

    You didn't get my last comment due to a FireFox bug, but I think if I'm going to blog about the lens, I should *dust* it :) Was done the same day as the post.
  • lakeerieartists Dec 17, 2009 @ 1:29 pm | delete
    Excellent, excellent advice. I will be featuring this on Howling Squid Review. :) Blessed by a Squid angel. I believe that interaction is key for Squidoo and other forums.
  • CCGAL Dec 17, 2009 @ 9:06 am | delete
    This is really well done, and answers many important questions about getting traffic. Exceptional job!

    There's some great info here Carrie about encouraging visitor interaction - you should ask Kimberly if it could be converted into a Squidoo Answer Deck lens.

    Great info that I will definitely keep in mind for future lens and blog posts. Thanks :)

    I have not had a lot of success with the polls on my lenses, but you have given me an idea - I will add a module where people can ask questions they have about the ACT and SAT tests to my lens offering advice on how to study for those. I also have a quiz on my one lens - I want to try that on more lenses.

    I think a contest once in a while would be a good way to get people to interact.

    Very nice lens, I was inspired to interact :)
  • Brookelorren Sep 2, 2009 @ 1:35 pm | delete
    Very useful! Adding to my favorites list.

    Very helpful information, especially for new people like me. Thanks for sharing your tips.
  • KathyMcGraw Aug 24, 2009 @ 12:09 pm | delete
    Q- Do you suggest we answer back to each person that commented, or just ones with Q's?
  • Michey Aug 20, 2009 @ 10:20 am | delete
    Excellent lens, it is all about interacting, creating groups of interest and learn more in the process.Fav. 5*

    These are great tips on Visitor Interaction. Thank you.
  • Laniann Aug 18, 2009 @ 8:20 pm | delete
    Excellent lens with good advice. Interaction with visitors is the life blood of any lens or website. 5*s
  • mbgphoto Aug 18, 2009 @ 9:40 am | delete
    Thanks for all the great tips!
  • jptanabe Aug 18, 2009 @ 7:57 am | delete
    Great lens, so many good ideas and clear explanations on how to actually follow up on them. Yes, we all need to interact!
  • Spook Aug 18, 2009 @ 4:49 am | delete
    I agree with you but often find no matter how many comments you leave over a wide variety of different lenses. You seldom get any back, apart from people who may have become a friend.
  • ajgodinho Aug 17, 2009 @ 11:13 pm | delete
    Great tips and ideas to help initiate or increase reader interaction, which is key to the success of any webpage...great job with this lens!
  • 2Eklectik Aug 17, 2009 @ 9:30 pm | delete
    Very good advice. Getting visitors to interact keeps them curious about what you have to say, so that they are more likely to return. Well done.
  • BevsPaper Aug 17, 2009 @ 8:06 pm | delete
    Great information! Thanks for sharing.
  • Pukeko Aug 17, 2009 @ 5:13 pm | delete
    So many great suggestions here. I try and encourage some interaction on every lens, and now I have some new ideas too. Thanks.
  • Joan4 Aug 17, 2009 @ 4:30 pm | delete
    Excellent information! The internet is not the place for a "one man show". We need to be as interactive as we possibly can be! Thank you for the reminders! Blessed by a joyful SquidAngel!
  • GrowWear Aug 17, 2009 @ 2:54 pm | delete
    Thank you, Carrie. There is lots more to visitor interaction than meets the eye. :)
  • cjsysreform Aug 17, 2009 @ 1:35 pm | delete
    Very cool... I have several controversial lenses and I think I need to do more to promote the debates in them. Maybe I will make a Twitterlist of my debates...?
  • kimmanleyort Aug 17, 2009 @ 12:03 pm | delete
    Interesting. I do think you have to know how to ask the right questions. Some questions just don't seem to invite feedback as well as others. I'll have to work on that.
  • Mickie_G Aug 17, 2009 @ 11:47 am | delete
    I think the twitter module on Squidoo is not user friendly. I am just now figuring out how it works and how to phrase any thing so it makes sense. Maybe it is just me.

    The Guestbook is where I get most of the interaction on my lenses.
  • ChapelHillFiddler Aug 17, 2009 @ 11:42 am | delete
    Great ideas! I've been pretty obsessed with writing lenses for the September Squid Challenge, but after that hump I intend to go back and visit the lenses of all the people who've been leaving comments, and to thank them. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • a_willow Aug 17, 2009 @ 11:22 am | delete
    It's really important to achieve an interaction with visitors. Many people still consider writing a lens similar to writing a newspaper article... Lens is sooo much more! If you know how to use it! Blessed, my dear!
  • luvmyludwig Aug 16, 2009 @ 7:24 am | delete
    great job on this! I think this will be very helpful :)
  • Stazjia Aug 16, 2009 @ 7:01 am | delete
    An excellent lens and I'm looking forward to the second one. Interaction with visitors is something I forget about and I need to concentrate on improving.
  • drifter0658 Aug 16, 2009 @ 6:39 am | delete
    Well done Carrie. I personally like the Duels and guestbooks. I've had some great debates and discussions take place in guestbooks because visitors have enough time to read the entire lens from intro to conclusion and then see a good question or two asked by me.
  • qlcoach Aug 15, 2009 @ 9:51 am | delete
    As usual, this lens is excellent. It's well crafted and full of practical information. For me, I love Twitter. Hope you will visit my new lens about travel and dream trips....Gary.
