HubPages Data, The First Four Months
56What we set out to do
We set out to make a platform for topic experts that would allow them to do three things very well. First, to easily create rich web pages. Second, to drive traffic to the pages via search engines through search engine optimization technology. Third, to let publishers share in the rewards.
I thought you would enjoy a post on how we are doing and what we have learned.
How many pages have been made?
We have seen over 4,750 pages created and published using our tools. The number of pages created per day has been steadily rising. My opinion is there is a lot of innovation and opportunity to improve publishing platforms for the future. Improving the tool's usability, ease, and powers remains important to our success.

Idea Bank and Technology
We are announcing a "Grow the pot" contest for the month of December. Each page from our Idea Bank increases the pot by $2. There's a new winner everyday. Hopefully someone will take home some decent pots.
The suggestions in the Idea Bank are from a new technology we created to find topics where there is a good opportunity to drive traffic from search engines. Posts on the topics will help us improve the technology.

Jimmy, I'm glad you are seeing the benefits of Google traffic. We have found getting traffic from search engines helps improve the earnings.
One of the things I have really enjoyed is the sense of community that people like you, drax, idunn, wajay, stuartj, yojdawg, chuck, moonmaiden, ralph (hope I'm not leaving out any regulars) and others have brought to the site. Keep the jokes coming:)
thanks paul, we love to see all of the new authors too the community is growing at a rate of knots its fantastic, i would just like to add that if any new members need help in anyway that any of the names above are more than willing to help.....jimmy
and Paul how dare you miss out your lovely wife and yourself from the list above lol .
Robin make him suck up for missing you out.
Thank you for helping all the new members out. That's fantastic!
Gosh, I can't believe I left out Robin....And Robin:) Perhaps she'll kill me in a poem for this omission.
I have made a few bucks off of amazon but thats about it besides the idea bank which kick ass. My google account got disabled a while back for some BS stuff and i've been trying to get it back. None the less, hubpages has been kick ass i think. I remember the days when it was just a few of us hubbing and i owned the front page of hubpages. I really do love this site i just wish i had more time to hub. Whenever i link people to the site they like it alot they are just too lazy to write. Although people have been getting more interested in the idea bank when i tell them about it. Hubpages FOR LYFE, and Mr. Pages... you are my hero.
YoJDawg, Thanks for spreading the word:) I've noticed that a bunch of your Hubs got a big boost from Google. Sorry to hear about the Google account troubles. Send me an email if I can help.
I adore hubpages, and I am happy it is rising in the ranks of the search engines. I think it is a great place for beginning bloggers like me, and some of the hubs have been really helpful to me as I learn to navigate this "brave new world."
Hi Lokaine, I'm glad you're enjoying it. You're doing very well. I especially enjoy the pictures you add to your pages.
