I'm new! (no, really, I am)
What's your best tip for someone just starting out on Hub Pages?
What Hub about Hubs do you recommend I read?
Thank you!
I'm fairly new too, but I'd suggest:
1. Write good stuff about what you like and know best
2. Click on 'Hubs' then 'Best' and read a few that have scores in the high 90's - It's better to read what really works than anyone's 'rules' for what should work.
Other tips - don't worry too much about stats, monetising or the forums, at least not until you have a 'body of work' behind you.
Have fun!
Be patient it takes months to get earnings
Darkside and Lissie have a few of the best, although there are many.
I think you'll like my latest Hub, How To Improve Your HubScore
Thank you! Do you think I should take the Amazon links off my hubs until I have more hubs with content?
No way, Writergig!
Though, I would suggest you use more tags for your hubs. Find relevant words inside your hub and add them as tags, that way people doing google/yahoo/altavista/lycos searches for topics that you're writing about have a chance to catch your stuff better. Someone told me that our tags help the search engines.
Tagging is very important.If you dont know what tags to use, you can search for keywords with wordtracker.
http://www.wordtracker.com/ , and choose "take the free trial".
I think the biggest mistake most people make is that they give up too quickly. In other words, don't expect too much too soon.

I am really new and I am confused with so many ways to gain traffic. Can I know how I can set up a foundation for my hubs traffic?

I think not.The Help Forum, and Official HubPages Announcements should be open to them until they create at least one hub, at which time Extreme Makeover, Report a Problem or Suggest a New Feature and Suggest Report a Problem or Suggest a New Feature might open.After 5, open 30 Hubs in 30...

Hello all, I am Jason Nichols. As I said above I am a newbie here but not really. I have been here on Hub pages before too. I had lots of hubs and friends here. This was like 2-3 years ago.

Hi All:I'm just looking for someone who's an expert to offer some general advice on the hubs I've got to this point. Be easy; I just started writing here a few weeks ago, lol. My biggest concern is that my hubs were really moving upward until a few days ago, and then my page views started moving...
