Better traffic and better CTR - Are you doing this ?
Hi hubbers. Although there might be many of you already doing this, i would still like to share my personal experience with you guys. After a month of joining hubpages, i thought of trying something different. This is what i experienced:
Instead of writing hubs that are more 'internationally' targetted, i decided to open a second account. This account i use to write ONLY about the city which i live in. This way, my hubs are more targetted, i get more traffic and a higher CTR. I dont have to play in a big pool anymore. The competition is also lower.
I still use my other account as well, and its also doing good ! Since that is more internationally focussed, it take more work and time.
If you want to try it, simply go do some keyword research on which ever city or town you live in, and Voila ! there is so much to write about. i know this might be random, but just thought i'd share this with all of you !
let me know what you think !Anyone ?
That's great idea. Thanks.

Kind of. I have written about a small town in my county, and had a few half decent clicks from it. I intend to extend it to other towns around that area.... so in a way, yes I have targetted a local market.

Youre welcome ! Trust me, the pool is way smaller and the competition is lower.
I am a little confused. Are you researching keywords that include your city or town? Is there anyway you could explain the process a little. I think this is a fantastic idea to lower competition. I live in Chicago so I would definitely still have the traffic aspect.

i'm also confused. i am just wondering why a second account is needed...why can't you just use the same account but write some locally targeted hubs? p.s. this is actually the first time i have considered another account because it sounds so good
I just wrote a locally targeted hub, as you suggested. Thanks for the idea. We'll see how it goes.

I don't see any real benefit in opening a separate account to do this.
You can group all your locally-focussed Hubs and even write a Capstone-type Hub as an index. Very few paying visitors use your profile as a base to browse from.Seems to be a good idea if that is what you are shooting for. Me, I would rather work really hard to get to the top of a big giant pool.

I second this.
I have also published some hubs specific to my country , which is Sri Lanka so I don't have much trouble ranking for them. There isn't big internet audience here so it doesn't bring much traffic but it is targeted.
got the idea...but what about with Adsense? I mean, did you use separate account, too?

You can only have one Adsense account, but you can use it on any number of accounts.

Cool, makes me feel better to know im not the only one. At first i thought i was weird, but hey, this really does work. No HARD competition and what not. I am going to focus on only Cape Town, and then move on to the surrounding cities, before coverinf SOuth Africa. That a good idea?

Its very simple. I found my initial HP account, (Internationally targetted), to get fewer CTR and lower traffic due to the high volume of competition. If you for example, live in Illinois, Chicago, use a keyword research tool and see what you find. All you strat off with is typing your city in the box and see what it kicks out. There is so much to write, trust me ! You will have lower competition and higher CTR.

There are many people using multiple acocunts here, just more than 80% of them dont use it for this purpose. Its just a little "experiment" i have tried and it works. MAke it about your city/town. Go national and local
