I am frustrated by HubPages inconsistent rating policy and failed ZZZ program. Because of this I am looking for another writing site. Currently I am leaning toward Squidoo and would love to hear people’s feedback about their site or other similar HupPage sites. Particularly earning programs and article assembly features.
Thank You.
For me, the difference is all about that grubby and sordid bottom line. I find Squidoo to be aggravating and buggy at times, but it brings home my bacon. My earnings there are 15 to 20 times greater, with 4 times the number of articles.
Squidoo has its own rating system and quirks. If your articles aren't updated for a while, don't get much traffic, and don't get many sales or clickouts, they sink in rank, and may eventually fall into a WIP status that's equivalent to Zzz on Hubpages. (However, Squidoo does NOT noindex new articles, so you can get search traffic immediately.)
I never quite figured out how they create an article using Squidoo's softwares. Wizzley makes sense.

Mine still haven’t gone back to the level they were at before the pandemic.My views lately have been trailing down. For the past couple of months things have been somewhat stagnant.I think overall earnings for 2021 will be better than 2020.

If I remove an article do I still receive its earnings so long as I do not close my account? Just wondering as I am still in the process of reshuffling articles throughout my accounts. In moving over to Hubpages from Squidoo there are a few of us who wound up with multiple accounts. I am still...

Hello, about 3 years ago I along with many others were forced to leave Squidoo.com and come here. I'll say it really killed my love for the hobby. I saw articles that on peak days were getting over a thousand views drop down to less then 100. Now those same articles have become stale and get...

Iris Draak rote a hub about the Demon of Banality. Her hubs and the comments it received, got me thinking about whether or not HubPages is appropriate for a discussion of serious issues or if that the road to oblivion.Recipes, crafts, and humorous essay appear to do very well. Can a writer be...
