Lenses can get real big - real fast. People tend to consider web pages that scroll down forwever as being sub-par. It’s been ingrained into negative perception right along with frames and anchor tags. So if you find the size of your Squidoo lens spiraling out of control, you may want to consider the possibility you’ve bitten off too much content for a single lens.

So why not divide your subject or topic into more than one lens? It’s easy enough to link them to eachother, and the relationships will assist in drawing visitors, getting the lenses indexed and eventually even Google page rank or link profilferation. You can build a lens on the three Stooges - but there’s more than enough information available out there to warrant a lens on Curly Moe and Larry separately. A lens on your favorite author is a great idea, but you could also consider making separate ones which branch off for each of her books. It’s OK if you can’t fit all of your ideas into one Squidoo lens when there’s no limit to the amount you can make and share!
