Chuck has a hub about cultivating your hubs. I've read and reread that hub so many times that I think I have it memorized or something. Anyway, I started to go through and make some effort to fix up older hubs of mine, following his advice and Shailini's tips as well. My traffic immediately took a boost. I couldn't believe it!
I guess it goes without saying that the more hubs one publishes the more traffic one will see. My graph in Analytics looks beautiful to me because it just keeps right on climbing!
What are your experiences with editing and cultivating your hubs? How much has this changed your traffic patterns?
Thank your for these two resources...I'm going to go look into them! Some of my first hubs are starting to decline (although I've only been a member for 5 days now lol) but I think its because I had a different method when I first started. My newer hubs are more 'eye-catching'.
That's how it works. I have discovered that there really isn't anything wrong with going back and adjusting the earlier hubs to reflect a style that you find works.
It does take quite some time to get real traffic going, but I am beginning to draw in a fair bit of search engine traffic now. One of my hubs is seventh on the first page of Google now, which is great!
One thing that you also need to consider is that the novelty of girly_girl09 starts to wear off after about a week or so You'll see less hubbers leaping on the newbie and your traffic will become more organic and "genuine" (which is a good thing for revenue!).

I am not going to drag up the recent massive plagiarism activity again, but - as you know Maddie - I have found that quite a lot of my hubs have been de-indexed and my traffic here is dropping despite publishing new work and despite actively promoting myself outside of hubpages. I realize that it...

I started a Tumblr account in hopes that it would help bring more traffic to my hubs... I write a short paragraph about a hub and then link to it... Hubs I share are on different topics of course. Since I do a lot of recipe/cooking related hubs I was wondering if it is a good to have a separate...

I'm just curious to see if you have Editor's Choice Hubs, and if so, is the traffic any better on those?? I opted out in the very beginning of this feature, but I'm wondering now if I made a mistake. I know I can't make a change for a while. Any ideas??

I just recently went through my many hubs and came to realize that almost every hub I did involving youtube videos had broken links. So I went to go fix the links only to find that these hubs were lame. I started deleting all hubs that don't generate traffic or are just plain...

Is using social networks to increase my traffic against the Terms of Service on Hubpages and does it affect my HP Program in any negative way?
