Ok, so I am brand new to Hubpages & am excited to have discovered such a great site. I am slightly terrified to get feedback, but also realize constructive criticism is the best way to improve my writing. This article is meant to be the 1st of a series. Any suggestions on how to improve traffic etc would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
http://hubpages.com/hub/Signs-Your-Baby … Impairment
Its a well written and informative hub from my point of view.
Without adding it, "This article is part 1 in a series concerning CVI" you can do your title like this,"Cortical Visual Impairment Part 1:Signs Your Baby May Have CVI."
No Amazon products found~ if you want to add amazon capsules you can search for children eye care related books or eye related books or equipments.
I feel you have used excessive tags. For a 600 word hub 15-20tags or a bit more is a standard though there is no certain rule. You better use it and chose less but more relevant tags otherwise you may get flagged for excessive tagging. https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/ … earch.none
The plural form of stimulus is stimuli I think. Probably you have mistaken it. You unfortunately misspelled child, you wrote [chlid]
Welcome to hubpages.
Don't worry about traffic first up. Keep writing and gradually you will start getting traffic. Quality content draws traffic automatically, you just write and use some good keywords.
this is news to me...some photos and video are good to add.
don't make too many sequels..

Welcome to hubpages
Thank you very much! I thought I had corrected that darn chlid/child error on my last reading! I have a book I want to post, but am waiting for approval from Amazon Affiliates for this site... Thank you for the input & I will continue posting my hubs & hope that people will want to read them. I tried to read up on backlinks, etc., but frankly found it confusing and discouraging.
Hi Stacie,
Thank you for your input! I wanted to post a photo or two, but got concerned over rights etc. & did not have any that I owned that I wanted to post...
Wikimedia Commons offers free images. You can also do a Google Image search, choose advanced search and then images licensed for commercial use. There are other sites with free images as well, but you should acknowledge the artist/source.
Kelly, I agree with everyone here.
Just wanted to add that I'm very impressed that you're caring about the rights on images - many people snatch photos willy nilly off the net without caring about who took them and without attribution.
You've made a good start.
Try and break up your paragraphs for visual effect. Label your capsules with variants of your keywords.
One massive thing I have noticed is your tags... you really have gone over the top... there are far to many. Try and decrease these to relevant tags of up to 20. Be tag specific - try and use google's wonderwheel to help you. Just place in your main title and see what relevant results come from that. This should give you a good idea of what tags you should be putting into your hub.
You are obviously a good writer, so keep it up!

This is a two-fold issue. I know we're in the middle of a Google Typhoon or whatever animal is wreaking havoc this month plus the summer traffic is, well, obviously somewhere else. In January/February of this year, my traffic was around 2000 views per day. Right now, I'm lucky if I crack 400. I'm...

It would be really helpful to see what the monetary value of each hub is per day or week or month (preferably per day or month) as an additional column on the main statistics page. For example, a Hub that was published years ago may have many views, but since they were acquired over a long time the...

I have three Hubs about the 2015 Sydney Siege. They were all featured. They do not attract a great deal of views as these are about a local event. However, only one of them has been demoted a few weeks ago.It now sports the " = Not Featured - Traffic" icon. But. ....

I have been on hubpages for two months. I have read multiple articles on SEO and backlinking. Ninety percent of my hubs do not have backlinking. But I choose for a while to say no backlinking. It was "different" I thought and "original". ...

Your arrival has eclipsed a new feature that we were discussing in earnest when the merger was announced.HubberPro is a new feature. In a nutshell, HP has hired 7 excellent editors to help bring our hubs up to snuff. They will be doing fact checking, editorial corrections, updating images...
