How Are All of the Newer Members Doing?
Yes! As long as you are in fact targeting keywords. This time frame must be when they are testing out your material with the audience, then shove it on up towards the top of the results when they realize the audience is enjoying and interacting with it. I'm trying to find a good way to keep the bounce rate down and improve click throughs to other material. This would improve each piece's appearance (they don't like a high bounce rate, which is one pitfall of hubpages. Almost always going to have a high one compared to most other sites
) I hope you begin to see a traffic boost soon Ben! It's a really rewarding feeling!
Yep! It is good! It means you're dragging in traffic. The best way to know that you are doing good is watching for your traffic sources to become dominated by Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Just keep posting, posting, and posting! Never can give up, but if you've been active for this long you're definitely going to stick

0That's not a bad goal! I should do that as well, but I'm usually working. And when I'm off, I'm usually indulging in sleep, my pets, movies, and games... as well as time with friends and family. My posting has slowed greatly but my traffic is still climbing. It's a great feeling to see it paying off, so I'm going to try and push 2 hubs out today to see where they get me. I know exactly what I'd like to write about (there's only a hundred topics picked out haha) I just have to pin the right keywords to those topics! Balancing fun topics with hot evergreen keywords is the way to do it
I'm doing awesome, great for you to tune into the community It's a good way of getting known by posting in forums and answers. I've been learning the ropes as I go, piece-at-a-time is the key and I managed to hit 10k in my 2 months so far so it's fun! I really love doing this and that's why I feel I'm succeeding. but $10 in a month that's awesome! Ur above me haha if you keep that motivation you'll definitely hit your goal of doubling that
All the best.No no the creativity is still in you trust me. I'll give you a tip, start being more positive use better words like "awesome" "that's cool" this will bring enthusiasm to you and learn to have fun! Forget rules and anything you feel you "shouldn't do" cause your an adult forget it, do it cause it's fun, lifes meant to be fun not serious. By using those positive words it will give you the starting to not being so-serious but maybe you already figured that out haha. Trust me I went through zen-training and all that trained to look at "reality" and still I have the most fun I've ever had. So my advice to you, post those old poems! See the encouragement of others then just start writing again, on your computer notepad and be shocked to see it click. Just let it floooow haha but all the best
Good Santano! You just have to strive to keep writing and posting them, even if you are seeing no views/earnings. This really is the kicker here. If you let the discouragement set in, it will defeat you. Pay it no attention and just keep writing, eventually, improvements will hit you if the pieces are picked up by search engines
That's good advice. I know it wasn't directed at me but thanks regardless
What Millionaire said is correct- to gain followers, be active
You should also follow those who write things that interest you, rather than random people. This way, when you have time while you're here, you can read other's hubs. You can vote on them, comment on them, and this will give you more connections- but it should be something you are interested in so that you can actually jump into the discussion with interest. Other's hubs will also provide you with inspiration to write more. This in turn gives other hubbers material so that they can decide if they want to follow you as well. SEO is the most important for traffic as he said; not the community. This community is like your fan base that encourages you to reach out and perform in front of an audience (AKA Google)! The best advice I can give is for you to find keywords with low searches and virtually no competition with few results in a niche you love. Start here- the growing traffic will help to jumpstart that feeling of success to push you forward on hubpages. Don't get discouraged either!
We love to hear that so many new writers are doing well! Keep up the great work, guys!
Doing well is the fact that everyone keeps trucking under the face of discouragement, whether it be a handful of views or a penny in earnings for hours worth of writing/research. It's finding inspiration to keep doing what they love to do- write! I know it wasn't directed at me- but it is the truth

Does anyone do HubChallenges anymore?
I'm just coming back after a several year hiatus, and one of the most exciting things that started when I was here was the HubChallenge. Originally, it was 30 hubs in 30 days. Now I see it's changed to either updating your hubs or 30 hubs in 60 days. I tried the original once, and I failed...
