I have one hub that shows $$$$$ and 3 incoming links. I hear that's a good thing but I'm not even getting any clicks or making any money off it. What do I do with it?
How old is the hub? Usually it takes time for a hub to come good. Just continue building backlinks to it.
A backlink is a link from an article or blog to your hub, usually anchored on a word or phrase.
It's what the search engines use to decide if your hub is any good or not - it's like a vote for your hubs.
How to build backlinks: various ways. You could write articles on Ezinearticles or Infobarrel with links to your hub. Or you set up a blog yourself on a related topic to your hub and then link from that to the hub.
There's a ton on info on hubpages about how to go about it. I would search the site for info on backlinks (both hubs and the forum) and then spend a good few hours reading about it. Read as many sources of info as you can, and by the end of it you'll know what to do!
Hope this helps
Ok thanks I just read it. Funny someone else said that was a good hub. I will fix things now. Thanks alot
Everybody sees things differently. I've seen a great deal of improvement in your hubs, in that the newer ones, should sell more stuff and make more money. There's always things that need improving. But I definitely think that you're on the right track.
Definitely try Ezine Articles; it is good for a backlink, and about 25% are clicking through, so good traffic too...

I was just wondering...how come the links I post on Xomba are indexed much quicker on Google than the actual hub is? Any ideas? Thanks!

I thought that the questions would be adding to the hub, thereby making the hub rank better for certain terms. However, that's not the case from what I see. The questions show on the page but not the answers, so the content of the answer is not really on the page, therefore it does not add to the...

What do you think of people who ask a question then use the answers to write a hub?What do you think of people who ask a question (in forums or answer section etc) then use your answers and turn them into a hub? Would it bother you?
