I posted from my blog to several related groups on Google + yesterday and today a newly written article. They have brought in 253 pageviews so far in 30 hours and 100 +'s. This is a topic no one searches for, so at least I got a little mileage from Google+. I think it can be useful.
There are probably quite a few hints about increasing your traffic in the HP learning centre.
From what I've read, many people have had success with Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Are you a member of any discussion groups on topics you write about? Putting a link there may be helpful.

You have to use SEO and keyword research to get good traffic. This means finding out what keyphrases are searched for in the search engine and whether the competition is low enough for you to get a good place in search results. There is a lot written on the subject on this site and elsewhere.

Other than that, a lot of people have good luck with Pinterest. If you have attractive photos in your Hubs, pinning them to Pinterest can get you some traffic.

I didn't know about using Pinterest. Thanks!

Can anyone help me figure out how to best optimize my hubs? I have several that have scores of 90 and above but they hardly get any views...I'm not sure how I could improve that. Even ones that have been changed by Hubpages' editors still don't get much traffic. Is it just the titles that I should...
