I published Hub number 100. I can not express my appreciation and graditute enough to all of the Hubbers who have provided a variety of Hubs that helps us newbies. To thank everyone individually, that would be Hub within itself. I just will say that you.
I'm a little confused, because looking at your Hubs, I can't see much sign that you've done much research on how to write good Hubs.
First, your content must be unique. Copying stuff that is already published elsewhere, even if it belongs to you, won't work on HubPages.
Second, crafting a Hub means writing good content and finding good, legal photos and video clips to illustrate it. I wrote a Hub on how to optimize your Hubs (you'll find it on my profile). I recommend you read it and do some of the other research suggested, then spend a week or two revising all your existing Hubs before you write any more.
Stealing content doesn't take that much time. No surprise he/she hit the 100 mark in 5 weeks. She'll probably steal another hundred over the next month.
I guess I take it back then...
Edit: Dumb Q but how do you know they're dupes? Put a few into google and they didn't come up with anything the same. Or do you mean spun?
I went to three different hubs and took one to two sentences from the middle of the hub and Googled those. Two out of the three came back word for word from other sites. They were not quoted or attributed.
I'm not going to waste my time to keep on Googling when 2 out of 3 random checks came back stolen.
Edited to add: I just checked some more, and much of her content is spun, which is perfectly fine. In the small bunch I looked at, I found large chunks taken verbatim, hence my quickness to accuse her.
Not to mention, I went to about 12 different hubs and none of them were of quality. Each were too short, and the writing was so bland, many lack originality, just by reading.
Anyone can crank out 100 hubs in 5 weeks, but quality and originality is what makes it all work.
Content is KING!
I'd offer congratulations, but then I wouldn't be me. Honest!
Thank you for taking the time to make comments to my forum post.
Wordsscriber, hope you know that Irohner and Cagsil are providing you with some profound advice, although it might be a little hard to receive right now. However, content is truly King.
You've accomplished a milestone of 100 hubs in five weeks; but they appear to be under 500 words with little substance being provided to the reader. Which means you will probably have low hubscores and fewer readers. Which means in the next 5 weeks you'll probably be attempting to write another 100 hubs, only to get the same results.
Here's a great hub to learn tips on getting on the front page of Google and in turn making money with adsense for the long-term rather than the short term. http://hubpages.com/hub/How-I-got-my-hu … first-page by Mark Knowles
I appreciate any constructive advice that will help me improve writing skills. Thank You for your comment.
You're welcome! You might want to check out some of SunForged and Darkside's hubs on making money online in addition to Mark Knowles. All are successful here on HP and I've learned a lot from them as well as others here. You can also submit a couple of your hubs to the Extreme Hub Makeover forum to get help and constructive advice; as well. Good luck and much success to you.

So, I have finally finished my goal of writing 100 hubs but I have not published them yet as I'm practically frightened of what HP will do with them. I feel like I have been "flagged" meaning I just imagine the HP team seeing my new hub and going "oh that trouble maker again.. go on...

Would any of you suggest 'reporting' an obvious newbie who has obviously not read anything of the rules and protocols here, whose profile includes no bio and indicates having joined but 2 hours prior, and whose portfolio includes but a single, very short and very poorly written hub?I'm not even...

I haven't been actively writing on Hub Pages in a while and want to get back into this and this might get me motivated.I remember hearing about a 100 hub challenge some years ago and I know that I could not possibly write 100 hubs in a month. That is why I am attempting to do this in a...

Sometimes when I have ideas for hubs, I "start a hub" and sometimes finish it later or just let it sit there for a while. Maybe I should just write down my hub ideas instead. Does it hurt my hub scores or overall hubber score to have those unfinished hubs (often with just titles) sitting...
