I don't compete with other site users, since I really have no idea what sort of traffic they are getting.
I do just fine competing only with myself. After four years, it's proven a very useful method.
As relache has said, I don't compete with other Hubbers either. What other people do or don't do on here is of no consequence to me with regard to how well I do. There's really no need to compete with other Hubbers, because everyone's collection of Hubs is as individual as each of the thousands of Hubbers.
Two people could write equally good Hubs about the very same thing, both of them could even end up on a Google-search page 1; and the success of each of those Hubs and Hubbers would still depend on other things that Hubbers, themselves, did in terms of writing quality and traffic. Besides, one of those Hubber could have written 100 other successful Hubs while the other may have written only 5.
As relache said as well, I only "compete" with myself.
a very interesting question. i don't do this actually but surely possible to some degree by analyzing their pages on google results for top traffic generating keywords and find the backlink resources and try to get these links & more as well. Even you do this, there is no guarantee that you will take their positions because the quality of content is a heavy factor.
ethically, i don't suggest such actions and agree with relache

As there are very few new ideas, I'm curious what you do when you encounter a hub written by someone else on virtually an identical subject?

There are tons of hubs on keyword selection and the various tools one could use to make the process easier.But, like most things 'net - they are mostly copies of copies of copies or poorly strewn together theories by intermediate writer-marketers ..So I ask... what was truly masterful, what made...

Google says no nudity. These hubs violating policy. The so called authors of these hubs are very clever. They become fan of any one and in return they get fans. Thus they have maximum number of fans. As these galeries need no intellectual,they publish number of hubs.This way they get highest...

I've had a massive headache ever since reading about this Squidoo acquisition thing yesterday. I'm not even going to get into whether I think it is a good idea or not. It doesn't matter what I think. The deal is done so it's time to move forward, and as always I trust HP management to make the...
