Some high-rank sites have mostly links. Should content-oriented newbies like me expect more traffic and buckage in 2 months?

- Mark, I've seen unpublished lenses rise from whatever number they are in the system to 8k-10k. It's because they're new. It's a system quirk but usually they'll descend rapidly unless they're improved on, have traffic or sales to keep them steady or move up. As Squidoo grows its going to get harder.
