So far I have had only one hub sent to a niche site, the Holidappy niche. The hub is “Gifts for Men Craft Ideas,” and while it got traffic before Father’s Day, since then very little traffic. I think if it were in a more generic craft niche the traffic would be much improved. The craft ideas in this hub are suitable as gifts for men any time of the year. Is there already a niche that would be considered a generic craft niche? Or will there be one soon?
My craft hubs are doing very well on HubPages so I am concerned that if, or when, they are moved to a niche the traffic to them will go down because of how they are categorized. I have been working at getting my hubs edited, patterned after the way the two that went through HubPro were done.
I would like to know how the niches have worked out for the folks that have had their craft hubs moved. I’m wondering if I should quit hoping the team starts to notice my hubs or if I’m better off staying on HubPages. What is your opinion?
The new generic "craft" niche site is Feltmagnet...your hub would be more suited there I imagine. I have had three hubs moved to niche sites...they did well initially but traffic has slowed. I have no idea how to get staff to notice my other 260 hubs though. Maybe it takes time, and they have employed new staff to help with the process.
I'm not sure, but I think if you edit a hub, it will get noticed by staff. It is a good idea to edit hubs anyway to make sure they meet the stricter quality criteria. I've been going through mine, just one or two a day (fi I have the time) and removing excess amazon capsules.
I suggest you email the team @ hubpages.com and ask them to move that Hub to Feltmagnet because it will probably do better there
Thank you sallybea, Jodah and Marisa for your suggestions. Following your suggestions, I've e-mailed the team with my concerns. Hopefully they have time to respond.

Since HubPages is changing their focus to feeding their new niche sites, where will you be moving your hubs that don't fit the new sites?I highly doubt they'll make any new sites that have anything to do with any of the topics I write on the way I write on them so I'll likely need new homes for all...

This has got to be some sort of joke. This site is not an easy place to make a fast buck. I knew that when I started. I then did the apprenticeship. It hasn't done me one iota of good. I have written well over 70 hubs, some of which were HOTD. My earnings in the last week are [redacted] ...

Hi,Do more experienced Hubbers have any useful tips for getting your article moved to a niche site? I kept seeing advice that goes something like "make sure you write a high-quality article" but it just seems so vague to me. I have 9 articles now and the only one that was moved to a niche...

The chart showed a loss of about 55% of the traffic on Hubpages in the last 6 months.I also looked at the traffic trends on some of the niche sites, and they don't seem to be making up for the loss.In fact the bounce rate seemed higher than that of Hubpages.What are the old timers thoughts about...

My Hubs get very little traffic and earn very little. Even adding my Hubs to Network Sites, did nothing. I am not that knowledgeable about how to increase traffic. I have posted them on Pinterest and Flipboard, with little to no activity.I was wondering if it helps to add recipe intros and...
