Just because we say you should!
We have a limited quantity:10 of 'em! And you get to select the TOP 5!!! That's right, these are hand-picked HubNuggets and are 24k pure gold - the highest of quality (.999 purity) and are top of the line!
Wanna have one of your hubs selected as a HubNugget?
First you have to join HubPages! Then you'll need to create at least one quality hub. Then we'll go through our list of quality hubs and select the best of the best! Keep a look-out in the forum to see if one of your hubs has been selected!
Please note: We don't want no fool's gold!

Mine too! Sweet and easy, thanks for that!! :-)
ajcor: Cheers and don't spend it all in one place! :)
Elena: You're welcome! Remember to save some for a rainey day! :)
Well, these are great, good to read. Thanks for this neat idea, I look forward to seeing the Hubnuggets every week, now.
Yaee!
CW, this is a FANTASTIC! HubNuggets hub. Congrats to you on your first one! I'm sure this beautiful hub will attract all kinds of voters! :)
:) Thanks for the comment Teresa. I certainly hope that you put some of that 24k pure gold in your pocket!!! :) BTW I'm just the newest part of the team... Ryan Hupfer, funride, ripplemaker & Shirley Anderson are the others... :)
Frieda... glad to see that you're now a Hubnuggeteer! :) Hope you got some traffic last week from having your HubNugget selected!!! :)
SA - Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Good luck all. done
Thanks for voting, C. C. Riter! :)
OOO cool, I have two hubs on here? Neato :)
Thanks for the support everyone! Super cool :D
What can I say? Your hubs are just that good! :) Best of luck, Direxmd. Now, you just need a second HubPages account so that you can vote twice. Don't forget to snag some gold when you come back! :) Everyone else it taking it and there's PLENTY to go 'round! :)
Congrats!!!
ProCW
Snag some gold? I don't get it, lol.
Is this sponsored by Hubpages? I'm not too familiar with HubNuggets.
I was referring to the new reading material that you now have at your fingertips... :) (The other nominees.) hehe... but I can certainly understand why you wouldn't have gotten it. :)
Yes. It is a weekly program sponsored by HubPages. We have a team of active Hubbers that goes through over a thousand possible HubNuggets and then we narrow it down to the best of them!!!
You were selected --- twice!!! :)
ProCW
Wow! I feel honored, thanks ProCW & Hubpages :)
You're welcome from me and on behalf of the HubNuggets Team!
ProCW
It's a fantastic start Direxmd, I get the feeling you'll get a few in here in the future! Keep it up and well done.
Oh yeah and don't forget to get everyone, their brother, their sister, their cousins and their goldfish to vote for you!!! :) If you have a blog/website --- explain what's up on it... if not... then feel free to do it in your hubs... etc. The BEST thing is that the Top 5 winning HubNuggets will be included in the HubPages Newsletter next Wednesday (thousands of subscribers --- more traffic to your hub(s)).
Best of luck!!!
ProCW
I almost want to cry i'm so happy :)
thanks who--it's all for you bud :)
@ProCW - That's a traffic spike I'd love to see!
@Direxmd - no probs.. (now do me a favor and Digg my movie cars hub! ;))
you got it!!!
hmm...thanks again for the nomination. I feel honoured, it's my third one! Who would've guessed that my carnie experience would be useful. I haven't won yet, but they do say "third times the charm" (or maybe its..."always a bridesmaid never a bride"). I don't know what to think now.
:) Hey FreezepopMorality... Just a little FYI... GET YOUR FRIENDS/FAMILY/ASSOCIATES/FANS/PETS and any other animate objects that you can reel in to vote for your hub!!!
The third time may be a charm! Best of luck!!!
ProCW
@WHoArtNow - :) As would I! :) Too bad they didn't have this around when we first started out!!! :) Alas, we're both too ?polished? to have our hubs as HubNuggets... :(
I voted!

Thanks KCC & SirDent - much obliged! :)
Voted :)
Thank you very much! :)
My vote has been cast!! Thank for the reminder.:)

Social networking would greatly be appreciated by these new Hubbers!!! Stumble this and their hub. Give this and your favorite Golden HubNugget a GREAT BIG thumbs up. Mixx it. Digg it. Send your cousin's friend an e-mail. Don't forget to tell your brother to vote. This is a quick survey and your help could really benefit these writers. Add a link and a brief write-up to your blog or website. Help to promote, promote, promote! Include one of your trackers if you need to!!! :) :) :) :)
Let's really give these new Hubbers a boost!!!
Thanks everyone!!! You're all doing a GREAT job!

Hey there, Frieda! I wonder that myself!!! :) People can continue voting, even AFTER Wednesday!
However the official TOP 5 HubNuggets for this week will include the votes through Wednesday. Ryan just pops in (at no particular time) to take a close look at the HubNuggets with the highest votes and the five with the highest percentages are the winners! :)
Promote, promote, promote!!!!
That's how to win!!! (I shouldn't give away the secret, but oh well!!!) :)
Best of luck to you and to the others!!!
ProCW
Yippeee 104 votes now! :-) We went past a hundred this time... wow! Thanks hubbers for all the support. They are great, aren't they ProCW? :-)
112 people have voted in this poll. One more day for those who have been distracted so far.
Come on Hubbers it´s our legal right to vote on HubNuggets poll, do not miss it.
Well this pretty much looks over for my two, thanks anyways.
ripplemaker & funride... up to 114 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) You're right, ripplemaker!!! These hubbers are great!!!
Direxmd: it isn't too late --- you just need to get your fans to come here and vote!!! this is a PERFECT time to get others to sign up for hubpages too!! get your friends/family, etc. in on this... MAKE them give you a boost!!! :) don't lose hope!!!
ProCW
It's 116 now...yipee! Keep the gold fever rush burning... (did that make sense?) LOL
Direxmd...yes, it's not too late. This is the time to self promote! Ask your family and friends and extended friends to come and vote for you. There's more than enough time. :-) Go, go, go!
Thanks for the information.
125 people have voted in this poll.
WOW, congratulations everyone. This has been a wonderful HubNuggets week.
iMindMap: You're welcome.
funride: yup!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! :)
everyone else: you still have time to vote!!! it's only 6:30ish in California, USA... so Ryan isn't up yet.... VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE! :)
Oh MAN!!! Maybe NEXT time... (sigh)
Mama - There's still time - if you have a stumbleupon account with some friends... get 'em to vote for ya!!!!!!!
You you "Digg"ed it? :)
How about your Mixx account?
Send any info out via email to your family/friends? it's easy - look at the bottom of this page... see the "email this page" button?
There are TONS of ways to get the info out and you can SOAR way beyond the others...
Of course everyone can read this and could potentially do the same thing... so it would pretty much be a whomever-gets-to-it-and-does-the-best-job-of-promotion-type thing... :)
Happy HubNuggeting, HubNuggeteers... and BEST of luck to each of you!!!!!
ProCW
Oh - and just in case you didn't know this - to keep up with the comments - you can put this link on your favorite RSS feed reader... even on your iGoogle homepage!!! :)
Simply right click on it and then copy the URL
Ryan has sent out this week's newsletter. The Top 5 HubNuggets can be seen there.
Thanks ProCW.
Just a word of advice to "others" tho... Don't promote the "clicking", because I learned the hard way... Adsense disabled my account for this reason, and because I was unaware of the "rules", I am awaiting an approval of appeal... I learned, and now I am hoping to get my adsense back... Until then, and even if they don't approve my appeal, I plan to keep hubbing...
Thanks for all the advice!
huh? what happened?
A Big CONGRATS to all the winners - and thanks again for nominating mine : )
For everyone's convenience (and because not everyone receives the newsletter apparently) I've posted the TOP 5 HubNuggets above!!! :)
Great job!
ProCW
Congrats to the winners! :)
I sure hope one of my articles can make it to the next HubNugget session!
Direxmd: You'll just have to keep your eyes wide open... :)
