Your results are in, and much to talk about. The number of hubbers varies a bit question to question so I am going to add this in, however I don’t feel as though it throws off the end results very much.

So there it is, I find some results interesting, most expected but pleased at the results - I hope you can elaborate more now as many of you said there is certainly more than one answer to particular questions.
Overall, Hubbers,
-don’t expect to make a substantial amount of money from HubPages
-and to make any money will take about a year
-Hubbers enjoy making Hubs best here at HubPages
-There is an understanding of Affiliate programs but a need to understand more
-There is a need for more instructional “how to” create Hubs and an understanding of it’s system
-Fans are supportive above and beyond comments
-The forums are challenging enough
-The largest improvement to Hubpages would like to be more creative options within developing Hubs
-Highest traffic times do vary constantly on the site
-More time would be devoted to Hubbing if there was a means to guarantee igher traffic
Thanks Again, was certainly interesting and the results are also posted with the poll should there be any confusion.
Thank you.

I didn't know what to answer on question #9 LOL! Good for that music thing on question #8. I was hoping that they include a capsule on that too.
RG thanks for participating - damn, I want the music capsule too, so bad - guess just stick the music on blank videos for now.
Cheers!

10 points for this Kimberly. An excellent mortar to hold your hub foundations together..
Excellent hub! I had a great time answering them. I had a hard time answering the question about what to improve in HubPages. Hope to see the results soon :)
great survey......it will be interesting to see the answers
You should be working for HUB

Jess

emievil, Dorothy and Cous, your always so supportive and I thank you - much !
Jess cheating every once in a while is ok but knowing you, you really didn't, I so appreciate you participating, thank you
Well designed questions. You put a lot of thought into this. I hope HubPages staff pay attention to the results.
Glenn, your the best, thanks
Hey, Kimberly - this was creative. What a cool idea. Incidentally, I'd love to learn more about how the money stuff works. Don't know how well I'm doing and have no idea how to find out.
Luckily, the non-monetary benefits are still worth sticking around. Love the feedback opportunities.
And, of course, *you're* the big bonus. :)
That's why I love ya Stan - we'll yahoo chat again and I'll take you through it - wanna Monday? Thanks for checkin in and helping out buddy
Great hub. I love the ideas you present.
As always your hubs are interesting and informative I have voted

Thanks red and for participating-great help!
Thanks for voting maggs - huge help and I'm thrilled you liked it-I will be posting the results in a few days
I voted on some of these, but alot of them did not have my answer.
#2-- I already have.
#5-- I don't know-- or care.
#7 -- I read a lot of them, participate in some.
#8 -- It's good now.
#9. Don't know-- don't care.
Well thank you for trying Rochelle, unfortunately I will have to take out your votes on the ones you chose to, otherwise it, as you are aware, throws off the results. I appreciate, whether intentional or not, you telling me what you didn't care to vote on, as that makes it easier to redo quality control. All the best to you, Kimberly
OK-- sorry, didn't mean to screw it up.
Not a problem, honestly, It's a small enough poll to fix fast - thanks for coming back though, have a nice evening., kimberly
Very interesting questionnaire. I enjoyed dialing in my responses. Thanks for the diversion.
Ok I'm leaving a comment so you know I was here too...:) Great Poll!
Hello dear one,
I just wanted to leave a message to say thanks. I'm not really part of hubpages yet. You always have my support..:)
James, glad it was fun, that;s the most important thing :) Thanks
K Partin HA Loving it - and noted - you took the poll, thank you so much! ;)
Dan, yes you are a part of Hubpages you even gave a fan so no excuses - love you, thanks :)
Brilliant idea for a hub ny friend and congrats on the 10,000 views, hope you are good x
Thanks Health Tip - miss seeing you around as much but maybe we can share multiple comments together instead, thanks love xo
To be honest Kimberley I wouldnt even return to the Forums now if I was allowed, I was just the fool on there for a short spell and only afterwards did I discover who actually was a friend x
Great Hub, Lyricsingray, voted in all categories, but a couple of them I would have chosen more than one option I have to say :)
Good idea. Be sure to present the results to the HubPolice.
Misty, I agree, it was tough to lay out but thanks a bunch for voting and commenting, I appreciate it and will be posting the results in the forum over the next few days XO
HubPolice it is nicomp and right away or in the next 1 or 2 days, promise, thanks for voting.
I dont write hubs unless I really have something to say. I sure cant depend of the hubs for income. Can someone give me an I idea of much you could make a month? I Love the forums. They give me a chance to blow off steam. I hate getting banned. But, I'm still going to speak my mind. I haven't wrote a hub in awhile. Nothings happening on the political front that really inspires me right now. I Guess I should should choose more topics; but I want to be known for my political hubs.
Friendly word, honestly, you should write a hub about what you just said. Many hubbers struggle with these things and you may even find it therapeutic - I'd read it for sure - think about it - thanks
Very interesting and very informative. It was great learning that the majority of hubbers answering the questions felt the same as I do.
Very innovative!
Laura thanks for voting. I was glad too that I wasn't alone on a lot of my opinions. Thanks xo
Interesting questions. When do you plan to let us know the outcome.
within a few days - for sure by Tuesday and I wil post them in the forum most likely so we can discuss the results. thanks for helping out lynn, appreciate it.
I liked this hub Kimberly...and I voted.
Great hub! Hubpages should hire you as their ambassador. :D
Great Hub Kimberly, answered all polls!
R2moo you make me laugh every time - thank you - hope the pay is good lol
Thanks Spart -I'll let you know in a few days, cheers!
You crack me up, too, Kimberly. So the last question was the perfect place to get you back....Good questionnaire, by the way.
Thanks laurel, your a gem, as always
Lyricsingray: great poll hope the Hubpage crew will review and maybe make some changes.
some interesting questions there well done
We'll see the results tomorrow in the forum thanks to you both, your participation is greatly appreciated indeed!
Very Interesting poll thank you.
I voted, interesting results already and a great idea. Are you going to write a hub with your findings? I would like to know what the over all concencus is. :)
Thanks Glen, just posted results in forum and your vote there too wren - hope you get to read them, thanks to both for participating! :)
Appreciate the update, lyrics, I really like this...now back to the forum!
Thank you lorlie, i'll see you in the forum, cheers!
This is a good idea to get a good idea of what would make HP an even better experience - I know it's too late now, but I would have liked an "other" option on some of those questions - there are other more important things (to me) that I would like improved that were not listed.
Anyway good job!
Tank you Susana for your feedback, and I feel it's never to late, we are only learning from them, thank you
Interesting survey, I filled it out all but one, the suggestions one. I wish hubpages had a section somehow that promoted creative works for people interested in reading, with some form of user rating and time-on readership structure that elevated work that actually held readers. LOL. That's all. They should be able to dash that off real quick,eh?
Good idea shades- now how do we make it work? Guess just keep trying - thanks tons for coming by and participating - it really helps
Been so busy I missed this. Very interesting anyway. Great job Kim.
Thanks for coming by Ralwus, you always do and I appreciate that
Hey I see that you updated this hub. Very interesting results hmmmmm. Wish the HubPages Admin can see this. Great hub Kim, hope to see more polls from you in the future :).
very cool idea, to see how fellow hubbers feel about the whole system - great job
Thanks Dolores appreciate your participation
Now that's typical of me I voted after the results were in.
Interesting hub.
lol It still helps 2uesday so thankyou
Fun survey and it certainly was an abundance of fun! :)

You are always up to something, aren't you? It will be interesting to see the results that you get. The main thing that needs to change is they need an uncensored forum, not that we don't already say whatever we want anyway.
Congrats on Hub # 69!
