      The only secret of getting good traffic is: Hard work. Promote your hubs by social bookmarking, commeting on other hubs and continuously writing great hubs. Engage in more discussions in forums etc... These tips have wrown my traffic a lot .. All the very best

    Just one of my articles is reaching 1,000 views after 90 days of publication. Traffic, since implementing a few things, is increasing. The word that comes to mind is: "escargot". -James

      It is not about what you write about, it is about learning how to identify keywords and basic SEO skills.

      I suggest heading quickly away from what I am 'writing about' and searching for those people who are 'writing about' SEO, backlinks and keyword analysis.

      Well if you must know it is because each time I do so I pick up people that attempt to copy me, rather than self-educating, one of those 'emulators' is you. Rather than copy other people, why not self educate? I don't want to upset you, but you are one of about five people who have seriously attempted to rip me off. I will now attempt to justify this accusation:

      <links snipped>

      That is exactly 10% of your hubs on identical topics to mine. And that is before I look at the very worst one, the one which really pissed me off the most. And that is this one:

      <links snipped>

      And the reason that it pissed me off is not because it is very close in topic to one of my hubs, but because you have taken those images straight from one of my hubs. That hub being:

      <link snipped>

      To be precise you took the images for SheToldMe.com and Snipsly. I know this because I sat there for 15 minutes taking those images directly off of the respective websites using a snipping tool. I then asked them permission of one of those site owners to use the image, to which I have a written 'yes'. Those images could have of originated from only one place, my hub, they were literally created by me.

      So to be absolutely frank I am frustrated by people attempting to emulate and copy me. It never works for them, I have never seen somebody rank higher than me for one of my original hub topic ideas, but the principle remains.

      What makes me laugh however is that I have never, ever, earnt good money from 'quote' hubs. They are used to enable me to identify copy cats quickly. Those who do not want to learn how to make money independantly will always take the easy way out, and quote hubs are very easy.

      What makes me laugh the most though is the idea of people wanting to compete with me. To demonstrate my self belief, I actually copied your hub idea for 'Entrepreneur Quotes', I am going to see how long it takes me to rank above you in the search engines. Its a little project to determine just how much damage people like you could cause me....

      Anyway, you know me, I say it how it is....

But maybe thats just me having a nasty moment! Hope you feel better now you've got it off your chest though...

        I added these not to claim that the additional hubs were copied from me, but to show that once you have a larger portfolio of work its not uncommon to see lots of similarities in other hubbers portfolios

        The similarities in quotes hubs is hard to shrug off - but ES does have 20-30 quotes hubs that seem to be unrelated to your own... when I see very similar trends to my own work, i often assume the other writer has just stumbled upon the same keyword list or put something similar into the adwords tool ..what are the top result for quotes in the tool?

        https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/ … earch.none

        search = quotes

        mark twain is a high priced epc that I would pursue if "quotes" was market i would ever pursue outside of insurance ..maybe some of the others are also?


        im glad that you have a smoke screen method in place, Ryan, Ive often worried that you were giving away too much.. I no longer publish my guaranteed winners under the sunforged profile either ...used to receive emails requesting for help and the hub urls they sent me to look at..were just rewrites of my own work!  *facepalm

          I too have been building away from this login, its just a slight shame that I have to.

          What was the 3 month, 7 month, 8 month annotation relating to matey? For those particular hubs I was making reference more to the use of my images (which were unique at point of publication) rather than the subject matter.

          I understand that she/he has built up a portfolio of quote hubs, but 1 in 9 is the worst case that I have witnessed. I once noticed that I had inadvertedly stolen one of your topics, I think that I jumped all over one of Maddie Ruuds once by accident, that happens. But this individual has been following me very closely, the similarities are rather uncanny.

          Anyway, I have plenty of decoys don't worry wink But yeah, I will be a lot more discrete in the future, starting with the removal of a few particular hubs and forum threads. I can't undo any potential damage from my existing actions, but this site evolves pretty rapidly, I will just learn from it.

          Anyway, I am off to use a few of those nice keywords smile

          englightenedsoulposted 13 years agoin reply to this

          As the links are snipped, I didn't get much out of the post, but SF I think you are not accusing me as well.  Also, I checked the qualities of entrepreneur hub of yours and I am glad that the content is not even related in the slightest.  And trust me I did not even knew that such an hub existed.  I just stumbled upon it.

          And Ryan, if you are accusing me of emulating your quotes hub then I can accuse you as well.  Just for example

          <url snipped>

          This hub was written by Ultimate Hubber 11 months ago

          and <url snipped>

          this hub was written by you 2 months ago.  So I think you are emulating Ultimate Hubber.  And Ultimate Hubber is like an encyclopedia of quotes, he has many many hubs on quotes so I think you me and many of us are emulating him.  I think he should be the one accusing us.

          And Ryan, I just gave an example and I am very sure you have written that hub on your own.  May be you did not even knew such an hub existed.  That's the thing with quotes hub Ryan, they would always be similar and I also know for the fact that they don't earn a dime.  I have a hub "Funny Sayings, Funny Quotes" that I published 4 months ago(I hope you don't have a hub similar to that) and consistently get a decent traffic from google but it still havn't earned me a dime. 

          And I do quotes hub just to get the momentum going.  I know I don't even have half the SEO skills as you but after the 60 day challenge I have learnt to use Market Samurai and if you research any of the quotes hub, though it will show you high CPC, the CTR is always zero and the SEOV value is zero.  So I know for the fact that it will not earn me anything.  And if you see I have published many quotes hub after the challenge but that's because I have committed myself to every 30dc after that and doing these quick quotes hub dont let me get demotivated.

        @Ryan

        I am really shocked.  Ryan, how could you even accused me of it?  I am a lover of quotes as well, just recently published a hub on volleyball sayings.  I don't even know if you have done some thing on volleyball.  And Ryan, if you just check hubpages, there are many quotes hub on the same topic which were published before your's and after your's.  So you mean any hub published after your's would be emulating you.  I have two more quotes hub unpublished right now, so I should not publish it then?

        And yes, I do follow you closely, but I also follow Sunforged with great enthusiasm.  Infact you both are like my hubpages hero and have taught me how to make money online.  Infact it was your hubs(the 2 part series of PR3 to PR8 dofollow backlinking sites) that got me early into backlinking and I still use that list.

        And as regards to your image on Snipsly and others, trust me I didn't pull it off from your hub.  I did a google search on Snipsly logo and downloaded it.  My understanding was that, if you are promoting a company you won't require their permission.  You can freely use them.  Correct me on this and also let me know which image you want me to remove, I will gladly remove it.

        This has been my worst ever day at Hubpages.  I have always avoided confrontation and tried to help everyone in the best way I could.  But Ryan you are wrong this time.  Tell me any other hub,except the quotes which has a resemblance to your hub.  May be the other remotely close hubs would be on social bookmarking sites.  But I did not get the idea to write on it from your hubs, I got this idea from Rmcrayne after I wrote a hub on redgage(I was the first who explained about redgage and now there are many hubs on it but I don't think anyone has ripped me off) and she wanted me to explain other bookmarking sites as well.  And also there are many hubs on social bookmarking sites like shetoldme by experienced and talented hubbers like Edweirdo and Sunforged, so did they rip you off as well?

        I seriously don't know what made you think that.  And thanks for maligning my reputation.  But I would still thank you for it as it would directly or indirectly increase my productivity.  Though I don't think would be ever participating in the forums, if it can get this ugly.

      I don't allow myself to get depressed, I can't do really, I am doing well. 'Frustrated' would be a more accurate word, as I genuinely try and help people to learn what it is that I do, I have a hubpage which lays this completely bare... At no point do I condone 'emulation', I do suggest attaching yourself to other peoples hub through tagging, but not through competing for the same keywords. I have done this on several occassions by accident, but not purposely...

    Ryan this sucks. The hubber has 90 hubs and COPIED 10 of yours. I would bet money the other 80 are copied as well from other Hubbers. This is brutal. I would think you could present this to Hubpages and get this person removed from the site. I know it would be possible for him/her to get a new login and start again, but at least all of these copied hubs would be removed. I'm going to add a link to your hub, from one of my hubs to help in a very small way, in your quest to outrank this ... have to keep editing words... hmmm, to help outrank this other hubber.

      I don't really want to rage too much war, just making the point will probably suffice... but I have taken steps to strengthen the SEO position of those hubs in question, so I will rage 'war' the way that I know best... I just seem to be pretty good at hubpages, topics are only a small part of that wink

      I actually expect immitation or emulation, often it is sub-concious or accidental, and sometimes it can actually add value... but when it is widespread, it does cause me slight concern.....

      My response will be positive though, 150 backlinks in the past 10 days is part of that, this is a competitive business of course, we all have competitors, I just prefer it when they are invisible... and like I said, she fell for my old quote hub trick lol They don't earn me much at all... I have other decoys too, in fact I can consider half of my hubs to be 'decoys' or 'scarecrows', and I have made sure that my four of five cashcows are untouchable unless Google does one of its strange random dances smile

      There is an approximate 1 in 90 chance that somebody copies one of my high earners, and a practically zero chance that they can effect it negatively, unless they have a lot more skill and knowledge that the likes of Enlightened Soul.

      Remember that as they are quote hubs, I myself have to do a bit of manipulation and source them very carefully, in order to avoid duplicate content filters.... each of those quotes are somebody elses words wink

      If this was a case of plagiarism I would be a lot more angrier than I am, its just that the opportunity happened to present itself on this thread to explain my reason for its deletion. It just worked out that way.... Didn't really intend to start all this, but I do have a point I feel...

    I have a question concerning quotes.  I am not trying to compete I just have a question.

    Could I do the same thing with song lyrics that you have done with quotes?  I have been wanting to do some hubs quoting song lyrics but I thought it would break some kind of copyright?

    1. profile image0
      ryankettposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      I wouldn't to be honest, they are 100% certain to trip the duplicate content filter.

      I spend a lot of time on my quotes hubs sourcing the quotes from different sources. For a 25 quote hub I may use 8-10 different sources. This will normally prevent the duplicate content trip.

      That said, even then it sometimes trips, I have a few to delete or rewrite for that reason - they probably impact on my hubberscore.

      Hope that helps. Feel free to write any quote hubs that you wish, there are plenty of titles for grabs on this page thanks to Sunforged wink

I hope that you didn't feel like I was making reference to you, I don't 'own' the huge niche for 'quotes', neither do I want to... In fact, I got the idea from Maddie Ruud... its a huge area of ground which anybody can choose to cover...

What I am wondering is, if I edit my work (I write the hubs too late at night to make my editing skills worth a dang) do the hubs get more visibility with the change?

    New to all of this. I am not focused on a huge readership fo the sake of numbers, but I would like to share the information with as many people as would appreciate it. Looking for advice that fits me and my hubs specifically, if anyone is interested in checking them out. I would really appreciate.

      ryankettposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      Well Hubpages is supposed to run a check monthly, and a small copyright symbol will appear next to your hub in red. I'm not sure if they still do or not.

      Copyscape allows a certain number of free searches, but they have a montly quota which is often exceeded by this time of the month.

      www.copyscape.com I believe. The internet archive also performs this task effectively, just google that...

        When I first joined HP I wondered why people didn't share more. It's because of people who can't do their own work. Just wish the net had a more stringent copyright structure. I'd personally feel awful if someone thought I'd copied their hub.

        I occasionally put a paragraph into google to see if a hub has been copied. However only a handful of (surprising topic) hubs make me money - I just write what interests me.

        Keep up the good work and I think it's good to point out the cheaters - might not achieve a lot but will make real writers beware.

    Sadly, it's not terribly hard to 'copy' a successful hubbers work. You can completely rewrite it so that it is indeed original work, but to follow the most successful hubbers around and use their keywords(which these guys are telling you to use in the hub title and url, so aren't hard to figure out) is just plain sick.
    It might be every man for himself out there on the internet, but to do this within hubpages itself is sickening.
    If I were a successful hubber, I'd now be very careful about what I said on the forums. Its nice to be nice, and its nice to be able to be helpful.
    But its certainly not nice when fellow hubbers rip you off. Thanks for the warning Ryan smile

      I even had one guy rewrite one of my hubs and send me a link asking for a critique. lol

    Just so you know, the DMCA covers both copy of your work AND modification of your work.  If you can prove that some one has taken your work and modified it with something such as an article spinner, then you still have a right to have it removed.

    That is usually way too much work for too little benefit though!

      But Thisisoli, it isn't hard for someone here to use someone else's keywords and write a completely new article. To follow a successful hubber around, and copy his keywords rather than go and look for your own, is pitiful.
      I'm learning the secrets of SEO, slowly and the hard way, and keywords alone just don't do it.
      There is so much more to it, though it does all start with successful keywords.
      I just hope Ryankett has the time or enough financial clout to blow any pretenders clean away. He did the hard work, the keyword research etc...why should someone else be able to profit from his work?

    Well, my traffic is certainly crazy, but not in a way I like.  Down to about 1/3 my normal traffic for the day, but suddenly had 5 clicks this morning, at about $1 income.  Then no income but still 5 clicks.  And analytics shows 1 click with no income.  What the???

      IzzyMposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      I've had that before - google must must have determined them to be invalid. Better to lose the clicks than your account! (hey not saying YOU were clicking, but maybe they all came from the same IP address or something, so google discounted them).

        wildernessposted 13 years agoin reply to this

        Yes, and that's what worries me.  I even asked my wife if she had clicked some on her laptop (though I don't think she even knows how to get to any of them) but neither she nor I have done so.

        And I kind of think it was something funny - I don't get many clicks yet, so to have 5 in a half hour was pretty unusual.  Odd that they took the income but not the clicks though.

          It could be someone you don't even know on the other side of the world. Just as HP dislikes certain IP's because of previous misdemeanour's, google have a list too. Don't worry about it smile

            Not much to worry about yet.  I still have ads up, and no nasty email from HP or Google, so intend to just kinda keep an eye out.

            Your comment about certain IP's makes sense, too - thanks Izzy.

    I've been doing quotes on my blogs for years, never ever thought of putting them here, not going to either because they don't make a dime for me.

    I had someone writing very closely to what I would write for quite a while last fall/winter & I stopped writing much of anything after that.  I was pissed because that person already had such a huge following from forum follies that it didn't make any sense why they would choose to write about the same topic within the same category within a day or a few days of me. 

    I need to build up my other profile.

    Jane@CM, how did you find out about the other Hubber?  The things I write about are not very likely to attract anyone else to copy or emulate, so I don't think I really need to worry for myself.  But I just wondered how someone would figure that out?

      englightenedsoulposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      Thanks SF.  And you are absolutely right you can have similarities and infact I have just searched all my hubs and all of them have been touched upon except for a couple.  But that doesn't mean I am ripping someone off or someone is ripping me off.  If you remember, during the 60dc Edweirdo and I had many hubs on social bookamrking sites but that does not mean he was ripping me or I ripped him off.  Or we stole other's idea.  Infact, we both linked to each other's hub where appropriate to provide a good read to readers.  They were totally unique hub on the same subject.

      I just don't understand why Ryan felt the need to accuse me.  I havn't plagiarized his content.

    Good for you!  Traffic is always good!  I am new to HubPages so any hints would be great!  I have not totally perused through all the tutorials, etc.  I am NOT new to online writing, so I understand SEO, Social Media, etc.  I am just wondering about some of the specifics at this site.  Looking forward to writing here!

  35. englightenedsoul profile image59
    englightenedsoulposted 13 years ago

    Few more examples Ryan but believe me I am not accusing you of anything.  Just want to tell you that your reasoning is flawed.

    Example 1

    < link snipped....>

    < link snipped > published 4 weeks ago by Ryankett

    Example 2

    < link snipped > published 22 months ago by leblanc

    < link snipped > published 8 months ago by Ryankett

    Example 3

    < link snipped > published 5 months ago by my-success-guru

    < link snipped > published 5 weeks ago by Ryankett

    Example 4

    < link snipped > published 14 months ago by Ripplemaker

    < link snipped > published 8 months ago by Ryankett


    Infact, you will rarely find a topic which hasn't been touched.  There are more than 1000 hubs on quotes, many written before you and many after you. 

    Infact if you do  search on beauty quotes, the you will see that it was first published by wavegirl 2 months ago, then by  me 4 weeks ago and then by KoffeeKlatch Gals 3 weeks ago(And this hub by KoffeKlatch Gals is regularly featured on front page).  So according to your reasoning wavegirl should blame me and I should blame KoffeeKlatch Gals. 

    Anyways though I did not have to justify myself but still I did it as I have really been a genuine admirer of you.  Hope you know that I am not stealing or ripping you off of anything.

    im new here .. wow .. had no idea ..
    been most enlightening .. y'know i like quotes too .. have for years ..and was sort of thinking of doing a site on quotes .. it shouldve occurred to me that thousands have gone before me ..wouldn't go near em now .. unless i think of an original way to do it

    aint life fun !

    y' know i wouldn't be too tough on ES, She sounds kinda genuine to me. She should just stay away from " quotes hubs" particularly those that are just filled with quotes. Perhaps we all should. There always other people words in any case.

    Nelle Hoxieposted 13 years ago

    I find it amusing that someone who makes hubs by rearranging the exact words of other people, is now accusing someone else of copying - without ever looking at the substance of the hubs.

    And if this is just a decoy Ryan, why is your first privately-owned website going to be dedicated to quotes? Or was that just a decoy as well?

  41. SiddSingh profile image59
    SiddSinghposted 13 years ago

    If SEO, Keywords, research, original content, backlinks, promotion etc was not enough, we have a new tactic to contend with (if we want to succeed on HubPages).

    It is called "Smoke and Mirrors".

    It calls for extensive deployment of smoke screens and decoys - much like a military tactic.

    Like Ryan suggests - he has only 5 or 6 niches that are worth anything. Lets say he has a total of 50 hubs in those niches overall. The remaining 350 are nothing else but pure and simple deception for foolish pretenders.

    That means that for every single hub that is useful, one must produce another 7 - simply to guard that one absolute gem. Pretty hard work I would say. But hard work is what separates wheat from chaff.

    On another level, I would agree with what Wavegirl had to say - Ryan had done it before, Ryan will do it again.

    I also remember an earlier incident, when another hubber - one of the best writers on HP, was simply bullied away from this site.

    Ryan had also gone away for a few weeks, after "seeing the true colors" of some people on HP.
