(Almost) Instantly high traffic
Paul E. wrote a Hub on Friday about targeting high-traffic "mover" topics to get immediate traffic from the search engines.
On Friday afternoon, I found that the term "lipstick recall" was moving in that Google Hot Trends report. Remembering that AskSusanPeters had a lot of success getting traffic during the pet-food recall earlier this year, I quickly published a Hub on whatever information I was able to find on the topic. It took me about half an hour, because I wanted the content to be original, too (not just copied-and-pasted from another site).
I also added a picture I put toghether quickly in Photoshop, and a News Capsule since there were, naturally, a few news items percolating around on the topic.
Afterwards, I spent 10 minutes posting links on Technorati, Simpy & del.icio.us. I avoided Digg because they are pretty sensitive to having all of your links dugg from the same site, and I've dugg a lot of pages from HubPages already.
The Hub got traffic from google.com and google.ca in less than 2 hours. I have never seen a page being indexed so quickly. I quickly got #2 ranking on the search term "lipstick recall" and have gotten 2800 PVs in less than 3 days. Since then I've slipped to #6, but it's still getting a very healthy flow of traffic, primarily from Google.
AdSense per day more than doubled, too.
Really Excellent Thanks. And for sharing/remembering the best hubpages I have created just a new hub

0 Thanks, guys.
I found another mover, not as "hot" (in the 50s in Google Trends' list, not in the top 20), and one that I didn't bookmark on del.icio.us, etc.
We'll see how much the "hotness" of the keyword trend, and the bookmarking, make a difference.Amazing, livelonger! Must be quite rewarding to see that flow of traffic, eh?
I'm going to have to experiment with that, so far my hubpages have all been about topics I've planned to do since I joined, but I definitely want to branch out, so the tips here have helped with that second phase.
