MrT,
That's kind of funny... Squidoo was my first attempt at making an affiliate marketing type of site!

This is with virtually zero marketing. It gives me hope that a really good site with good marketing could generate a lot of traffic

Wow, that's awesome. You know, the ironic thing is when you create a website (or in this case a Squidoo lens) purely out of interest or passion, it tends to do better with the search engines... because they contain valuable and unique information that people like, visit often, and link to... which is exactly what the search engines have been paying attention to.
That's the problem with many websites, they are made with the sole purpose to make money... so they are not very good... but if one thinks about adding value to the site visitor, he/she will come back often, refers the link to his/her friends, etc.
Clearly, you're adding a ton of value to your lens visitors! So great job!
On a slightly different note, Squidoo can be pretty powerful. A little while ago, I started getting sales from something I didn't realize I was promoting. When I did a little investigation, I found out that an old lens I had created (and never touched for a year) was ranked for a set of pretty decent keywords in an extremely competitive niche.

That's great! Very smart to re-invest that money in your business.
