Once you've joined HubPages, you'll want to take advantage of the different methods to earn more from your HubPages experience.

In a recent Hub, I discussed how to refer others to HubPages so that you earn more when others sign up for HubPages.

Another way to boost your earnings is to link to others' HubPages. When you link to other HubPages you spread the Hub love but, more importantly, you receive a share of the impressions those pages generate.

How do you Link to Others' HubPages?

First of all, sign in to HubPages. Then, type in a search query into the search box at the top and to the right of the page. In this example, lets go with "parrots."

A page opens showing parrot-related articles. Now, the first article is: Parrots and Metal Poisoning. Lets say you want to link to this article. Click on its blue title, so that the page opens that contains the article.

Scroll to the bottom right of the page and click on: link to this page. You'll see your tracker at the top. Make sure your tracker is showing before linking. Now you can choose either the URL or the HTML. Click on this, it will "bold," right-click your mouse and hit copy, then paste it into wherever you want to link to it.

• If you are linking from a HubPage, you will probably want the URL. How to hyperlink it? It's not hard. In your open text box, type in a phrase that describes the link. In this case I would use: parrots and metal poisoning. Now run your mouse over the phrase until the words are highlighted in blue; go to the top of your text box and click on the horizontal chain icon that's right next to the upsidedown U. A small box will open that's entitled: Insert/edit link. Where is says: Link Url, insert your curser into the box. Right-click and viola! your previously copied link should appear.

• Underneath, where it says 'target,' click on the downward pointing arrow. A drop down menu will give you two options: 'open link in same window,' 'open link in new window.' Choose the last one by clicking on it with your mouse, then on the lower left click on 'insert.' If all things are working as they should the words "parrots and metal poisoning" should now turn blue.

If you are linking from a blog page, you simply copy/paste the HTML into your blog post and once you hit publish, the link shows up with the phrase "parrots and metal poisoning," already hyperlinked, with your tracker embedded.

Note: make sure your tracker isn't actually showing because someone else could grab it.

How do you Benefit from Linking to Other HubPages?

When you send traffic to others' Hubs, you’re entitled to either 9% or 12% of total impressions.

Once you get onto the process, it's really not that difficult.
