New Sites for the New Year

HubPages to Launch Specialized Niche Sites

Big news this week, friends! As part of our overarching strategy for 2016, we are launching new topic-specific niche sites. While we're as focused on quality as ever, we have strong reason to believe that the general nature of HubPages is causing issues as well. Search engines like Google have a more difficult time understanding and parsing generalized content than content on topic-specific pages. The first sites we're launching are TatRing, a tattoo and piercing site, and PetHelpful, a pet advice and info site. Qualifying Hubs will be automatically moved upon launch, and we intend to create topic-specific homes for all the great Hubs on HubPages, so keep an ear open for future site announcements.

To read the full details, check out the latest HubPages Blog Post.
