   Hey Ryan!
   
   You're on p.1 of Google with your peanut butter alternative, and your history of the high five hubs.
   
   Very cool!  Way to go!
   
   Those hubs are not so long on word count, yet they're already crawled.  Does the Google bot pay attention to how many links you've posted in your page, too?
   
   I just want to get crawled and get better and make money.
   
   Thank you.

   So far today I've published two hubs. Twitter is down right now, but here's one of them. http://hubpages.com/hub/Elusive-Nature-of-Fun
   
   I have more I've been working on today but need to rest my eyes for awhile. I hope to get 10 new ones up today.

    I just did one "Ryan style" -- longer with lots of pics and a longtail title -- to see if it gets crawled faster.
    
    I can say I know I can't do all 100 this way.  This one took me too long.
    
    Any comments would be welcome.  It's a hub on best casinos (it's a travel hub, not endorsing gambling).  And this is 6 of 100.
    
    Once I see what works for getting crawls and clicks for keyword-targetted hubs, I'll start pumping my 100 out.

    SUCCESS!
    
    Ryan asked Tuesday if there were other Hub Challenge success stories.
    
    Here's one for me.  (Yea!)
    
    Turns out I'm all thumbs with my screen capture freeware, but if you open these Google results for "essential guitar accessories", you'll find my new Hub Challenge hub listed on the first page of nearly 9 million results!
    
    http://www.google.com/search?q=essentia … =firefox-a
    
    I published the hub Wednesday morning and it took about 9 hours to get crawled.  This is my fastest success so far with a hub.  It turns out keyword research and SEO work! 
    
    Here's to the longtail title!
    
    I wish you all success, too!!

          The real CHALLENGE here is finding the sweet spot -- the perfect storm of KW phrase, longtail, search traffic, and CPC.
          
          I'm researching a lot and writing not so many hubs, but I'd rather do that than just pump out hubs without research.

    When people start writing Hubs on how to install software,and wall[papers,
    I think we are almost into duplicity.
    I don't want personally to read Hubs about stuff I can find myself all over the net. Often millions of pages on the one item.
    So I stand by what I said crap is being churned out, whether it is grammatically perfect crap or not is of no consequence.
    "No one is interested in most of these rushed Hubs.
    I am bored............ except for my favs, they are still only turning out the ood stuff.
    If I want to look up Wallpapers I have zillions of choices, I er don't need a link. I prefer to create my own original stuff, just as I presfer to read original Hubs.

    Day 2 and 3 Self Assessment:
    
    Only managed to write 2 more hubs:
    
    #5 http://hubpages.com/hub/Do-Not-Answer-The-Phone
    #6 http://hubpages.com/hub/Ending-The-American-Affair
    
    vs. the 4 I wrote on day one.  Partly due to two afternoons in a row of thunderstorms making power outages and cable connections ify or non-existent.  Partly due to laziness.
    
    Total time culumative time writing: 10 hours 49 minutes
    Total culumative word count: 6,886
    
    Random thoughts and observations:
    
    Not so happy about so many email notifications in my inbox - overwhelming
    
    Wondering if there is anything to the fact that normally when I publish a hub in the first 24-48 hours I get about 150-200 views by other hubbers -- now that is about half?  Since to me, the initial burst of hubber readers is the foundation to launch hubs to a much broader internet audience -- this concerns me.
    
    Wondering if so many of us are writing so many hubs that we've not lost some of our reading audience because they are too busy writing hubs?  Or is it due to the time of the year when many are spending less time at the computer with the end of the school year and better weather?
    
    Not concerned about hubscores as I don't normally use them as much of a measuring stick.  That seems to have stayed static in fluctuation these three days.
    
    Found one video on youtube that was disturbing in that the woman seemed to only grasp that hubpages was a potential "sales" tool which could lead to a lot of spammers? 
    
    Enjoying youtube Diary of Mad Hubber and look forward to seeing where that will go.
    
    Wondering how many will quickly burn themselves out?
    
    Thinking those who chose 30 in 30 might be saner.

    My 2 cents:
    
    Not all 100 hubs (or 30 hubs) can be perfect and not every hubber is a great writer... You all are entitled to an opinion but at least make it constructive...

    I guess I'll never be very successful at this and fortunately I'm not depending on it.  I'm not very good at researching to put in the right tag words and phrases.  I write what I feel like writing and in the way I feel like writing it.  I'm taking this challenge because I have things to write about and I think I can do it.  It will be up to my fellow hubbers to tell me if the hubs are any good.

       All we can do is the best we can do. If we fall short of the challenge we put our best foot forward. If you make the challenge and do not publish the best you can, that is still yours. I am taking the challenge to challenge myself in getting back into writing the way I used to and not to impress someone else. If I end up making a small paycheck, so be it, however, I hope to make a good name for myself again.

       You don't have to be good at keyword searches or anything like that. Just write what you want to write and challenge your abilities. That's what I'm doing. I've never really paid much attention to top keywords and whatnot. Like you, I've taken the challenge to see what I can write. Depending on how soon I make my 30, I just may see if I can do 50, if not the 100 challenge.
