    Today i made my 30th hub. I am happy about that. But still i am worrying about one thing.

    My traffic is not yet reached 1000 views so far. Couple of hundreds short now. I made few dollars from adsense for the month of november.

    Sought your advice for increasing the traffic.

    Thanks.

      Top Universe,

      I can share a few pointers, that I think might work,

      1. tweet your hubs
      2. Make it keywords
      3. Link your own hubs
      4. Leave comments with hub URL
      5. Keep working, rewards will follow

      I know sometimes it take bit while. Good luck

    Here's my take on one of your hubs.  Bear in mind I have no outside traffic either and I don't know what I'm talking about.

    But hey!

    We can all learn together.

    I looked at Laser Teeth Whitening Cost.

    I checked on Google and you're on page three, quite a lot of competition.  I don't know how much traffic you get for that hub, and neither should you tell me - otherwise people will just nick it.

    But I wonder if you chose or added keywords to the title like Best, Fastest, Painless or whatever else would add to it's searchability.  Maybe try Can U Get Teeth Whitened or Sexy White Teeth - that kind of thing?

    Then I checked your hub.  Pcunix makes the point about White Space.  Spreading out the text, more capsules - just to make the page less 'texty' and more 'browsy'.

    Also I didn't notice a lot of pictures.  Apparently people like pictures.  What I do, rather than pictures - is to break up the page text with Amazon ads.

    Now this is silly of me to try to help, I am just an unsuccessful newbie myself.  But I had five minutes, and by chatting on the forums we all learn stuff.

      Thanks lrohner, I thought afterwards I had been a bit preachy or picky.  That wasn't my intention.  Talking aloud helps the lessons to sink into my brain as well.

        I thought you sounded great Ewbie. I also feel totally unqualified to comment on hubs or traffic but I can say your comment sounded well thoughtout and helpful. I will take some of the points myself so thank you.
