the who how to make money online topic's tend to blow everything else away. but then again the how to's seem to be doing really well to. what do ya think?
hubpage members ,well that would vary alot ,and they are not usually the ones clicking on the adverts( which is what you want to earn you money).
How to's, and techie geeky stuff ( helpful indeed!)
and personal stories ( for me brings in outside traffic)
So far hits are concerned, Hubs with bollywood photo gallery tops the list. Fortunately I do not write such hubs
Of my top ten most viewed hubs, 5 are on work-related issues (hot get a job, how to write for the internet, and so forth) but two are on movies, two are on growing food, and one is a humor hub about how dumb cubicle offices are.
By far the one that gets the most hits is How to Make Money Writing Online.
I notice the 'how to' ones start out slow but then a few weeks and they are getting hits from all over, so I guess I should do more of those.
For me, its the how to's and the top 10 lists that get the most hits and make the most money. Sad thing is, they're not the types of articles I like to write, they were experiments for me here on HP.
For me the one about lacy slips has been the most viewed of all time and second on the same subject but about a slip model got a very large number of visitors and still does, however, a third on a slip-maker is not doing well. Why? I really can't say apart from the first two are being promoted on other specialist sites that have driven traffic to them. I think this is an important factor.
Other very popular hubs of mine are on the Illuminati, David Icke and chemtrails, plus a real mystery - Antlions! I have loads of nature hubs that hardly get any visits but Antlions often is near and has been at the top spot!
I can conclude from this that people are mainly interested in a type of underwear, the elite secret society who are said to run the world, a conspiracy theory, a leading conspiracy theorist and a species of insect! lol But they are not generally very interested in wildlife, plants, Tenerife or music or singer-songwriters and can't be bothered with reading about a leading peace campaigner.
Well there you have it. From all of this, the best hub to write would be: How to get a job in a secret society earn lots of money with womens under garments and avoid doodlebugs.
Definitely How To hubs...its unfortunate though, that kind of stuff bores the living daylights out of me. And I just bring myself to write it anyways, just for traffic. Just cant. Even though I have a degree in Computer Science, and I know that dishing out my knowledge on that stuff will up my views like mad! I just wanna have a ball here, really.
Odd ball things...those things that freak people out, at least for me that has worked. I wouldn't know how to tell someone how to do something unless it was to stay out of jail and obey the laws....yawn....
My hits are mostly on hubs about saving money. I have also had success with current event hubs.. but it doesn't last long!
I agree with you. My top hub was on asphyxiation related to an incident with my brother, followed closely behind with comment review of a series being played in ShowTime. Now I need to return to the medical self help articles.

Many people writing different things. But I and I'm sure that many other people would like to know the potential of hubpages. Thanks for answers.

Let me preface this by stating I am not trying to be mean or a troll. In fact, I avoid the forums because I don't want to get involved. But with so many posts about the topics I'm about to discuss, I wanted to put in my two cents and to offer a reality check to old and new hubbers...

Hey Guys and Gals, Man, I have just about had it with the traffic issues here at the Hubpages. I have published over 100 hubs here in two years. I have won several awards, I have had over 10, 000 views, and I have a following of over 200 people. When this whole traffic loss debacle first occurred,...

Hi,I've signed up and am ready to start making hubs in my specialised subject, but I was wondering what the earning potential of hubbig (if that's a word) actually is. I realise it all depends on how attractive your pages are and how good they are etc, but what are people actually earning? I am not...
