I'm trying to consolidate 4 different hubs onto one "index" hub, basically a hub just to send readers to other hubs of mine on the same basic topic. See http://hubpages.com/hub/a-comprehensive … ectricians
Have I overdone the links? Is it even acceptable? Is this kind of thing worthwhile to drive traffic (expected to be interested in all the hubs) to different hubs? I plan on removing links between the other 4 hubs and add one to this hub, trying to get readers to this "index".
If this works, I have at least two more hubs to add to the four referenced in this hub, and will simply modify the one just published.
Thanks for your help
This is just my humble two cents worth:
Index hubs don't work that well (for me at least.) However, that said, mine were in a completely different niche.
The hub looks fine to me, and I hope it works for you.
Here's a hub that may interest you on the general topic, if you ever wish to consolidate more of it in one hub:

Thanks for the reply, Wry. The hub you reference certainly looks valuable, but (if I'm reading it right) gives a method for an actual table of contents in one hub for sections of that same hub. I have chosen to break the subject into several hubs for more exposure, and want a table of contents for the entire series.
I'm hoping that the niche makes a difference in that readers of one of the hubs would probably be interested in the others as well, and maybe even 1 or 2 of the associated hubs not on the same basic topic. In addition, one of the hubs is over a month old and has never been indexed. I'm thinking the titles are too similar, and changed the unindexed one, but I hope for some exposure from this table of contents.
Time will tell, I guess.
Personally, I like the idea, and it seems promising. Don't know a lick about such things but, 'what the hell' if it works, we'll all be doing it.

I love HubPages, I feel that I have learned so much here and my confidence in writing non-fiction took such a huge leap when I was invited onto the Apprenticeship program last year. I have met some wonderful people here - both staff and other Hubbers. But as may other people have said, the idling...

What is a hub called that introduces a series of hubs and that links to the individual articles of the series? (In squidoo we called that a lensography).

I am in the middle of drafting a hub but am finding it to be getting quite long with a lot I still want to include. Is there a recommended (or actual) maximum length that a hub can be and is there a precedent for dividing into multiple linked parts?Many thanks,Rob

Authoring Hubs is about sharing and spreading ideas. Most of what we do is word-based, and a capsule to show off related Zazzle stuff would be an eye-catching way to allow readers interested in those ideas to buy products which celebrate them, such as relevant designs, graphics, statements,...

I have now written three hubs on Austrian food and drink. I plan to write many more but was wondering if IU could create a kind of index hub. Wherein I would add links to each new hubpage I create. Would this be frowned on as it would be nothing more than links to other hubs?Thanks in advance

I am wondering if the size of a hub page matters and what is the best way to deal with a long hub page.Let's say I want to write on the Gizoo. I can have a section on tips for using a Gizoo, the history of the Gizoo, the economics of the Gizoo, Types of Gizoos, Gizoo in Art, etc, etc. I...
