Another important tool that can be used to promote HubPages over social networking sites and emails is an infographic. This is a graphic with text, a photo, and often a link embedded in it.

The products are used for advertising and also aid in link-building campaigns. Most of the sites offering tools for creation are paid. The design if done well can be startling with its appeal and eye-catching for greater effectiveness. The websites offer various formats to create the designs.

This is a tall order but if your budget allows you should do it. This may not fetch immediate returns but if your hub is already earning you should indulge in small-budget campaigns. If your hub is configured optimally for advertisement you should be able to offset the cost.

The two platforms are the most appealing. One is "Google Adwords" and the other is Facebook Ads. Both can be effective whence properly optimized ads and campaigns are in place. There are many other mediums where you can run paid ads but the cost matters and hence economize.

Search engine algorithms and quality checks are constantly evolving hence the marketing model is changing as well. Search engines now accord greater emphasis to site design which includes content, download speed, and page layout.
