My suggestions to new hubbers

Plenty of information is available on this request at hubpages itself. Making a best hub does not only mean to provide rich content but also involve several other aspects like layout, formatting, insertion of different capsules like photo, video, news and different revenue capsules. Selection of appropriate Tags is also important. Once it is published, there is need to provide links to this hub from other hubs and from this hub to related hubs. However, the most important aspect of making a good hub is selection of topic/title. It takes lot of expereince to know what topic attracts more traffic to your hub or which is most popular topic. In my opinion a good hub should fullfil following criteria:

1. Topic must be unique. In the begining it will have less traffic but it will attract constant and heavy traffic in due course. I cite here one example: I created a hub titled "Impact of globalization on Indian Culture". When I published it there was a slow traffic to this hub but later on this hub attracted 20-30 visitors daily from all over the word (Pl. see the Figures). You know why? All Indians either living in India or abroad love their culture and concerned with the influence of globalization on it. If you write something related to gender descrimination, it will have good value as both genders are concerned with each other. Hence my another hub "Violence against women in India" is treated a good hub and invite attention of lot of people. People also have a desire to know something about celebrities. I know several hubbers here, who write always on celebrioties and are established as best hubbers. One of my hub "Deepike Padukone......." may be treated as a good hub. It attracts 25-30 visitors daily (Pl. see the Figures). Deepika Padukone is a Bollywood Actress. Other topics may include something traditional, visit the hub" Traditional way of storing rice"

2. Content of Hub should be rich: Content is the most important element of a hub. Content should be relevant to topic. One need to do lot of research to collect material for a hub even if he/she is an authority on the subject. "Contents" mean here the text, photographs and video. Never copy content from net or books etc. Not only it will result in copyright violation and legal action but also bad for your reputation as a hubber. Keep in mind , sources of information on the net are common and anyone reading your hub would like to see this type of content on wikipedia etc.

3. Layout of Hub should be stylish: Its really an art to layout a good hub. If layout is good and all elements of the hub are arranged in style, some of weekness in content will be ignored by visitors. Try to insert text followed by photo and follow the same sequence if you have enough photographs related to content. Whele adding revenue capsule keep in mind that number of ads do not exceed >4 at a time.

4. Hub need be linked with other related hubs and also with social networking sites: Inbuilt feature of hubpages features related hubs automatically but you should provide links where appropriate to your different hubs. However, you should add links manually by

adding "Link" capsules. To drive traffic targetted to your hub you need to add/bookmark your hub with some social network or bookmark sites. At least you should bookmark your page with del.icio.us, yahoo mypage and other sites. You may not get immediate attention but it will benefit in long run.

Activation of Amazon ads display on your hubpage:

In the comment box, a hubber inquired about activating affiliate accounts. Information is provided in brief to help fellow hubbers.

Once you have got your affiliate code from Amazon/Google, its easy to paste. You click on the Tab "My Account" after sign in your account at hubpages. This tab is located at the right top corner. After opening "My Account", please click the tab "Affiliate Setting" located in right side. On the "Affiliate Setting page you will notice 4 affiliate boxes. In the Amazon/Google text box click on edit and either place your code manually or paste it after right clicking your mouse. After you have pasted your code it will show "Active" status. Now your Amazon A/C is active. Hubpages automatically Google adds codes so ads are immediately displayed but in case of Amazon you have to search for ads and control display of ads. To add amazon ads to your hub you have to be in edit mode.

Steps are simple.

1. Click on the edit tab.

2. Click on add revenue capsule and then Amazon.

3. Now you click on the edit tab of Amazon capsule.

4. Click on keyword search.

5. Provide keyword related to content of your hub. By default this capsule searches keyword treating whole of your title as a phrase and will not display any result.So you have to provide a single keyword and click on preview results. Even after inputing keyword no results are displayed you input other keyword.

This is all about activating your affiliate account.
