Very nice illustration of the advantage of doing the HubChallenge, even if you don't get all 30 in time, you still get traffic to new hubs and old hubs and more articles to add to your list.

Well my 30 days are over.
I got my 30 Hubs, but I guess maybe shooting for 60 was too much.
Now I am looking at doing another 30 day challenge in November.
But...here are the results so you can kinda see the benefits of doing the 30 Hubs in 30 days.....
Traffic:
August 28th-September 28th (before challenge)
12,833
September 28th-October 28th
64,145
Adsense:
You know we can't give out exact figures, but the profit went up almost 6x.
You can easily see the benefits to doing the challenge.
My Hub pages went from almost nothing to outperforming all of my blogs which have been around at least two years.
(and that is comparing thousands of blog pages to a little over a hundred Hub Pages)
Plus what I have learned about SEO and promoting from tip and tricks from the more experienced Hubbers (and the less experienced one too) is invaluable.This is awesome news, sabreblade -- thanks so much for sharing!
We're all working on the new, November HubChallenge as I type this, so it will be good to go by the time any of us see November 1st in out computer taskbars.

Okay, since tomorrow is the last day of my November Hub Challenge, I thought I would update how things are going.
If you saw my earlier posts you know the old figures....
Traffic:
August 28th-September 28th (before challenge)
12,833
September 28th-October 28th
64,145
Well here are the new stats....
October 28th to November 28th
123,658!
(these figures came from Google BTW)
And the kicker here is that in November, I decided to calm down and only do one Hub a day, not two a day like I tried in October.
So is the Hub Challenge good for building traffic?
You tell me...LOL
I went from 12,000 to 123,000 hits.
Again, we know we can't tell Adsense figures, but lets just say my Hub Pages are kicking the crap out of my Blogs as far as earnings go.
Now as far as December....well I think I will take December off and look at hitting the January Hub Challenge.
I have a lot of personal things going on here that will take up my time and I am interested in seeing if backing off affects the long range totals.
Oh I'll publish Hubs still, but I want to try to fine tune the Hubs I have up already.
So that includes this installment.
I wish everyone out there success and remember...if I can do it...YOU can do it!

Okay, so here is another update on the 30 Day Hub Challenge results.
As I said in my last post, I took December off from the Challenge....though I did try the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge (I didn't make it very far).
But here are some real time stats of how I have benefited from the doing the 30 Day Challenge...
Traffic:
August 28th-September 28th (before challenge)
12,833
September 28th-October 28th
64,145
October 28th to November 28th
123,658
November 28th to December 28th
185,481
So during a month WITHOUT doing a challenge, my traffic still increased 61,823!
And if you compare August/September to November/December, you have no doubt that the Challenge is worth the time.
So now I am looking at the January Challenge!

I wanted to try the 30 day hub challenge as well but it seems I failed. It's the 29th and I only have 11 hubs published.
Oh well. Maybe next month.The10DollarMark wrote:

Oh well. Maybe next month.Don't you give up The10dollarmark. You haven't failed. You just haven't decided to give it your all.
You must never underestimate the 'power' of participating in hubchallenges. I know it did real wonders for me and brought me to where i am today.
I took a break for December so as to enable me finetune my earlier hubs that were lousy,
and to work on backlinking.
I'm sure you'll be giving us your great testimonies soon. If i could do it, anyone surely can.- 69

well I wasn't gonna give up. It's jut there's only 3 days left in the month and I can't write 19 hubs in 3 days . (especially with New Year's Eve coming up and spending it with my fiance's family)
I just figured I'd try again in January. Less holidays, more time to hub. - 96

And try formulating ideas for Hubs before you start.
I'm not starting till January myself, but I am writing ideas down now so that when I start, I have a backlog going.
And I am also going through and re-vamping Hubs that are not doing so well now.

This is a great forum thread, sabreblade. Not only are your experiences valuable, but those who posted their thoughts added to the richness. A thought...I think this forum thread contains a lot of "meat" for a Hub on not only the value of the challenge but also on the personal thoughts and processes that accompany such a demanding task.
Congrats to you!
