Hubpages is a mix between wikipedia and a blog as spoken by Ryan Hupfer on the video part of "How Much Should You Advertise on Hubpages?" Ryan also states that Yieldbuild is the tool that does the advertising function of Hubpages. Advertising on hubpages is a process that is already managed and taken care of by the Hubpage staffers. You do not have to do any advertising at all but to write on topics of interest and relevance to your intended audience.

When writing on Hubpages, you must be careful, however not to self promote what you are writing about. You may write product reviews but be careful not to write about the same type of product continually. The red flag may  show that you are using Hubpages for commercialization of your own website and you may get banned for overtly advertising certain products.

Your main focus here as Ryan says on the video is to get to what you like to do best as a hubber and that is to write. If you have products that you are trying to  advertise, then it is suggested that you set up ebay and amazon accounts apart from Hubpages.  Write relevant and quality articles because all the tools are available if you want to monetize or make money legitimately on hubpages.  You are welcome to use the revenue ebay and amazon capsules.  However, the content must be relevant to your hubpages article.  You are providing the reader additional information through a book or a product from the two product sites. Hubpages is a "go between wikipedia and a blog" as Ryan stated on the video and is not a commercial or selling site.

Google Adsense are ads that "adds the Google link juice" to your hubpage article. The Google "bot" looks for keywords that has the proclivity of being clicked on by people using the Google search engine. Each time the internet user clicks on a Google key word in the ad, both you as the writer and the Hubpage staff earns money. Hubpages gets a 60% revenue from the pay per click and you as the writer gets 40% of the earning. So you see, advertising should not be your concern as a hubpage writer. You may write a product review or several product reviews but be cautious that the reviews do not hedge on self promotion or advertising that is over the top.

How much should you advertise on Hubpages? Your focus should be on writing quality and relevant hubpage articles and leave the advertising to Yieldbuild that is a part of the site. In the video Ryan suggests that you write on financial and instructional topics. Hubpages had about 22 million page view and with that amount of traffic, you just need to have quality and relevant hubpage articles to inform, education, persuade or guide financially. As Ryan said on the video, Hubpages have "amazing" traffic and your task should be to write amazing articles and the advertising will take care of itself through Yieldbuild.

Upon doing the research from the hubpages help module, the following information is useful in answering the question "How Much Should You Advertise on Hubpages." The term that the Hubpage staff uses is promotion for advertising. Hubpages articles are not allowed if the intention is to purely promote other websites. Comparisons can be done between writing sites but there should be no overt advertising or promotion of the websites. The hubpages article should only be for informational purposes and not to advertise.

If you link repeatedly the same website throughout your article, the hubpage can be flagged for being overly promotional. The general rule is not to repeat the site more than two times.  Hubpages, as a site, has been known to be intolerable of advertising other sites as the site was put together as a forum or writers. Be mindful to limit your internal links to no more than two . As a safety precaution, some hubbers only link once throughout the article. The link is to provide further information that is relevant to the subject and repeated use is an indication that the link may be getting the promotion itself. Use advertising links sparingly and a few hubbers have said that the links takes the reader away from the written content and that is another reason to limit link usage.

Duplicate content or placing an advertising link on hubpages that is identical to the written article is not acceptable. The practice is unreasonable and the hubpages staffers has indicated that the practice is also unacceptable.

Relevance is the key when writing about a product. The hubpage content should be related to the product that is used from the revenue capsule or there may be an indication that the product advertised is self promotion. Stay clear of advertising on Hubpages and let the tools that are in place do the advertising for you. How much should you advertise on Hubpages should be minimal because your goal is to produce quality written content of relevance.
