Hub Groups

As you write more Hubs, you’ll eventually want to organize them so your reader can easily navigate through all your work on a single topic area. Hub Groups is the tool that can help you organize your Hubs and make navigation easy. Groups enable you to create inter-linked, ordered collections of your Hubs. They also help with attracting search traffic.

Many food Hubbers create Groups of recipes they have written- they may have Hub Group for their Hubs on pastries, for example, or a Group for all of their chocolate recipes. Other Hubbers create Groups containing their Hubs on product reviews, how-to guides, DIY projects, and historical investigations. Because Hub Groups enable you to order a group of Hubs, they are especially useful to fiction writers on HubPages who publish Hubs by the chapter.

To create a Hub Group, start by creating a group that includes Hubs that share a common trait. Follow the steps below to make your group.

• Go to Your Groups Page: On your My Account page, click on Groups under Hubs at the top.

• Add New Group: To create a group, click on “Add New Group” button and name the group. You can choose if you want the name to appear on the drop-down box.

• Edit Hub Group: Click “Edit” and you can rename the group, or change its appearance status on the drop-down box.

• Delete Hub Groups: Click “Delete” to remove the group. This will not delete any Hubs that are part of the group. They will automatically be moved to the “Orphan Hubs” (Hubs not associated with any Group) section that appears at the bottom of the page.

After you’ve finished, a box will be displayed on the page of any Hub that is part of Groups. Inside the box is the title of the Hub you’re currently at, followed by an arrow. By clicking on the area, you can see all the related Hubs in the Group. You have the option of including a name for the Group that appears in the box.
