The Importance of Categorizing Your Hubs Correctly

Keep HubPages Organized

With the recent move back to the HubPages.com domain, it is more important than ever that you accurately and carefully choose a good topic to categorize each Hub under.

Why does it matter? Since Hubs are all on the HubPages domain now, keeping Hubs in the correct topics ensures that they show up in search results with the correct category listed below the title, which makes readers more likely to click. It also helps Google recognize and know what our Topic Pages are about.

How can I choose the right Topic? There two ways to ensure that your Hub is placed in the best category possible. First, when you create a new Hub, make sure you use the Hub Topic tool to select the most appropriate category; you can either browse topics with the tool or search using related keywords. You can also browse the Topic Tree to see which categories might be best for new or existing Hubs.

Pro Tips

Report Miscategorized Hubs!

Help Us Get Everything in the Right Place

Another way you can help us keep the categories tidy (other than carefully choosing topics for your own Hubs) is by reporting Hubs that are clearly miscategorized. For example, if you see a Hub on video game techniques listed under Bridal Fashion, please flag the Hub using the report button, choose the "Deceptive or Miscategorized" option, and then help us out by entering the correct Topic from the drop-down menu (Games, Toys, and Hobbies> Computer & Video Games, in this case). Your help means a lot to our mods. Thanks to those of you already doing this!

You can take a closer look at all of our topics with the Topic Tree:
