I am new to this game and am therefore looking for some advice as to how I can improve my hubs so as to get more traffic through them in the hope that I may earn more money. At the moment they are earning nothing (I think because not enough traffic). Please can you help a newby.
It takes time for traffic to build up. I earned about $1 in my first two months, now I cash out each month.
Write good Hubs and the traffic will come! What you do need to think about is how to "convert" that traffic, which means how to make sure your visitors click on ads. At the moment, you link to a lot of Hubs by other people - I don't recommend that, because it tempts your readers to leave your Hub by clicking on those links instead of on an ad!
Of course, if you've written the Hub as part of a HubMob topic, you must include the other Hubs, and you're getting other benefits because of that - but otherwise, don't. It's good to have links to related websites, but put them right at the end of the Hub, under the Comments.
Thanks for that advise. Now you have said that it does make sense. I feel some editing of hubs coming up.
Use Search to seek answers to your questions awesome Hubs on this topic.
Thanks DS. That would probably be a good place to start. It just seems so easy from the outside. Guess it will all come together soon with a bit more research.

Earlier I posted that people should go and make links going to other sites that do not belong to you nofollow. Then someone mentioned that if your hubber score is less than 85 then "every link" will be nofollow. But this is not what HubPages says. HubPages says:"If your HubberScore...

I'm just starting to figure out the URL tracking system. My question - is it better to assign URL trackers to individual hubs? Or by the location of the link? I can see the benefit of knowing how many people are reading individual hubs to see which hubs garner more traffic. ...
