How to Make A High Ranking Hub Page

If you have never heard of Hub Pages before it's a great site that you can use to get some free traffic. The better at it that you get the more traffic you will get so its worth having a play about with. The pages themselves are indexed by google and the other search engines and quite often rank really well in google. Recently Hub Pages have been getting as much traffic as squidoo so it gives you an idea of the sort of traffic that's possible.

Hub pages are really easy to create - Just go to http://www.hubpages.com/ if you are not there already and click on the "sign in" link at the top of the page. The click the "sign up now arrow" and create an account.

To create a hub just sign in and click the arrow that says "start a new hub"

Enter a title - you will notice that the web address is created for you and I will usually leave this as it is.

Then add some tags - you can add more later.

Then click continue

That should bring you through to the edit hub page.

Hubs are made up from content capsules and there are some capsules put in your hub to start you off.

To add to the capsules just click the edit link on the capsule that you want to add to - make your changes and then click the save button.

If you do not want a capsule you can just click the cross in the right hand top corner to delete it.

If you want more capsules you can add them here - just click on what you want and it will be added at the bottom of your hub.

To re-arrange your hub you can either use the arrows on the top of each capsule or just drag the capsules in the capture ordering box - Its really easy.

Ok so that's you hub page made now you need to look at the hub score which is the number in Red after your hubs title.

This is a measure of how good your hub page is and you want to aim for 80 - 85 to get consistent traffic but the nearer to 100 the better.

How you get a good hub score is really important as this will make your hub easier to find and therefore get more traffic.

The Most important thing is content - make sure that you have lots of content that is relevant to you keywords.

Allways have a picture or 2 - with alt tags that match keywords

Include a video - I use youtube and make sure that the keywords match so its relevant.

Include some outgoing links that have your keywords in them

Get as many relevant incoming links as you can. To get links you can:-

1. Write an article and include a link in your recourse box

2. Include a link on your website.

3. Have a link from your video.

4. Social sites such as digg or myspace, delicious, propeller, reddit, shoutwire, plime, newsvine, stumble etc there are loads of them

There is a great tool that i use to submit to these "social Sites" called web2submitter - see the link below. It allows you to submit to loads of sites at once saving you valuable time.

So that's it from me on hub pages - give them a look there a really easy free and fun way to get some free traffic - In actual fact you can earn money from your hub by using adwords etc.

Happy Hubbing
