I thought I allready posted this question...but maybe I have lost my mind...
Anyways, I havea couple of hubs that use a "Top 10 List" formatt and was wondering what other hubbers think of this style? Do any of you have success with it?
If you want an example I have a couple published (Top white wines etc.)
ahhhhh.....weird I couldnt find it under my posts....weird!!
you are just sooo on the ball! How do you do it? x
I use the top ten format quite a lot, with varying results. Some of my top ten hubs barely earn a dollar a month, while others seem to be quite capable of bringing in over $1000 a month.
I do note this difference to SERP rankings though, and I believe the top ten format is a very successful sales technique, since it offers prospective buyers several options, rather than just the option of to buy or not to buy.
Awesome man, thank you for the well thought out response. I will be sure to check out your hubs for ideas on layout etc.
The question is how are the Hubs doing? Are they bringing in traffic, are you getting comments? Only you can really answer this question.
I am getting decent traffic. Not a ton of comments on my most popular hub, but then again about 90% of the traffic for that hub is from Google
Which is where you should be getting them anyway, because as much as hubbers like your content, they'll probably not buy or click on your ads, because (at least i do) they get the idea that maybe, just maybe that ad could have their id and get banned or penalized for clicking their own ads.
Yeah, top ten lists work, but only if you get the really top ten and not just "The first ten I found" lists.
Good luck with that!

I am major curious about the answer to this mystery.... just how much traffic are those Hubs who make it to the HOT HUBS actually receiving? I know that most likely nobody is going to give this up with specific numbers.... but how about some averages as to what kind of traffic brings a...

I hear people talking all the time about hubs that produce good readership, but I know this number differs for many. In your case, how many views per month do you think is good for any given article? Just curious.

Do you think the new hubpages format will help us writers here, or hurt us over time.Please explain why you think so, whatever the case may be. Heck make a powerfully expressive hub about it, if it floats your boat. (Does this spell more or less revenue for us long term, try to give it your best...

I'm curious if anyone has tested by a month to month basis whether or not you make more with Adsense alone or with HP Ads?It's impossible to do a true split test, since each month will be different, but I'm curious to hear your results...Some of us won't get a lot of traffic so Adsense might be...
