They are not as high quality as I would like, but I have better quality hubs pending. I know it's not a very big accomplishment, but I'm so thrilled and just wanted to shout out and say that this new hubber is slowly-but-surely getting somewhere. Thank You everyone who has given me feedback, and I'd like to welcome everyone to check me out and give me any tips, advice, constructive criticism that you have to offer, and I would love to explore your hub as well. I click twice! Thanks in advance.
Goodonya #emi sue, as we say here downunder.
I am glad you decided to share with us, and I hope we will be sharing more and more successes. I'm new too so I know very well how it feels!

Hey Emi,
Good to see you increasing so quickly and getting some hubs out there. They are certainly a good start, but really need some more content. (I know, me saying the same thing again!)
Say for example your Jack-o-lantern hub, you could make a text box on the pumpkin itself. What kind to get, where to get them, when to get them, how much you might expect to pay, what is the best knife to use when carving, tips on carving etc.
The introductory paragraph needs a bit more description - how easy it is to make.
You could also make a text box on how to illuminate the pumpkin, what candle to use (or whatever it is you put in there, I am in AUS and we don't really do Halloween - bummer ) how tall the candle needs to be to not go out, or how far away from the inside of the pumpkin, what do you sit the candle on in the pumpkin, how do you make the lid part,
Maybe you could tell us why you love Halloween, why you love the lantern, maybe some basic history on the jack o lantern, how it came to be made in a pumpkin, what you've made. If you have done one or plan to do one, take pics as you go so you can show it in stages.
I also don't understand the reference to 5 designs - maybe you could number them and name them and also put in a brief description.
Try to use a new text box for every new topic and send some of those boxes to the right and shade them to make them pop out a little more.
You could also give a bit of a product review on your sales boxes (amazon/ebay) really helps to lift the sales.
Phew, now I quickly typed this out as the ideas flowed, so my apologies for poor grammar and spelling. You are most welcome to use any suggestions to plump out your hub - cause at this point, you are at risk of being over promotional as you have 4 affiliate boxes to not a lot of words.
Hope this helps, I love where you're going with this and even though I am not an expert, I am happy to give any help I have. Currently doing OK with hubpages and getting paid an average of (secret) a month all up - so I am happy to share any of my tips with you
I have only been here a few weeks, but I have said this before, and I will have to say it again.
There are some real super people here. How wonderful to see that #Organised Kaos has taken the trouble to give #emi sue a full critique and specific pointers on how to improve.
Goodonya #Organised Kaos [and you will surely understand the Aussie ling!!LOL!!]
That is great to see and #emi sue, go for it. You'll soon be over the 5 featured hubs, you'll see.
Cheers. .
Hey Marie,
Thanks for your kind words, I hope it wasn't too much - but I know how hard it is to get a good hub going! lol
Love your Aussie slang, so nice to see a few of us on here on hubpages now - we're getting quite a collective
Good luck too, hope all goes well for you also and always here for a fellow Aussie
Really, really love all these tips. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these great suggestions! How did I not think of those.
I am hosting a birthday party today, but I am definitely gonna use your tips and apply them to my other hubs as well. Thank You So much!

If by your comment "I click twice" you mean clicking on other writers hubs. Clicks from other hubbers means nothing!
Thanks Linda, for your quick response, I can see through the history of some of the threads over the years you're all over making sure this TOS is kept. Great work.
I have altered my message, but as I only gave an average and the description of "all up' which means more than just Hubpages I don't believe I have breached anything. Being a law student, I believe this is fine, but have made amendments regardless.
Thanks LindaSmith - I had no idea that it was a TOS violation. I've actually seen a Hub that documented the user's month-by-month earnings. If I'd known it was a violation I would have dropped them a note.
Congratulations! I am also a new hubber and have 4 hubs published. Working on my 5th now!
I read a hub the other day suggesting that we at least click twice when reading other hubs. Meaning rating the hub useful real quick, posting a comment, or being involved in a poll. Just something like that is what I meant.
Hi #emi sue, I know that comments, rating etc. . . is tabulated in the stats, but I have not met the business about clicking anywhere.
I am assuming you are referring to clicking on someone else's hubs?

One of my hubs was just flagged at being at risk for a Google Adsense program policy violation. I have no idea why except that I posted that hub url on She Told Me and Xomba. If anyone has any idea about the possible reason for this, please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

I have registered with Hubpages 4 weeks ago but been active since last two weeks. I have a plan to join the 30 Hubs in 30 days Challenge in July, so before I start, I would really like the experienced hubbers to go through my hubs (only 6 so far) and give me some feedback. After I accumulate 50...

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...

I can't seem to find an answer for this in the learning center. I have a large set of articles I've been writing for a while + some time on my hands to dedicate to Hubpages for the next couple of months. Would publishing 10 hubs a day benefit or disadvantage me, both in terms of hub score /...

Hi - I've written my first two hubs, having completed many of the tutorials. I'd love some feedback on how I've utilized hubpages suggestions, such as creating good content, good titles, using images and links, etc. Thanks so much for your time!Bridgett
