How I got my hub to be on Googles first page
LOL
I had to reply to this. I was waiting for Isaballa to do it, but I am happy to oblige.
1. There are only 15000 results for that search term
2. This is possibly the most patronising thread I have seen on the forums.
3. This is not the place to promote your poorly punctuated, lacking in content, incredibly over promotional hubs.
4. Welcome to hubpages - we are not all that stupid.
Perhaps your wonderful splendiforousness would care to explain to us mortal hubbers how to get on the first page of google with a search term worth searching for? I am soooo looking forward to you sharing your incredible schooling with me.Yea mark, I'm sitting in a padded room wearing a straight jacket banging the keyboard with my nose *smile* That Jerrico is a real basket case, but how does he get such long rantings done with just his nose and a popcicle stick?
she ignores me but I aint mad at her.. I've been told to ignore her by the man, she told the principal on me for telling her she had a dead youtube link on her page (I guess I broke comment proticol by using her comment box to show her what page it was on)
but I did check out that youtube video of her concert, pretty impressive I couldnt understand a word of the song but the vocals were pretty amazing, course I'd love to buy a CD but is that grounds for stalking? lol (I'm kidding, glad she doesnt read these hehe)..
I just took offense to the tone of the original thread which I notice you have now deleted. It was patronising of you to say what you said, and I seriously doubt that "several" people asked you how you managed to get on the front page of google. You then exaggerated how hard it was by saying there were 200,000 results for that term and implied that if we would like to watch this space, you would kindly share your new found knowledge as learned from "Wealthy affiliates," whoever they are. When I looked at the hub in question, I discovered some very poor punctuation and a LOT of affiliate links. I never said it sucked. You don't need me or anyone else to tell you if the writing is "strong."
Feel free to write however you like. I don't care. What I do care is that every time I come to the forums lately, I find this sort of thinly disguised self promotion, and that's not what the forums are for. I really don't give a shit how many times you get on the front page of google. What I do give a shit about is you telling me how easy it is and then telling me you can teach me how to do it.
And thanks for the comment on one of my hubs.No, no - ask away. That's what the forums are for.
And yes, I guess to a certain extent the forums are self promotion. I think your hubber score is partly determined by your activity here. Good and Bad.
Apology accepted, no hard feelings.
What did you want to know?How about writing some hubs for money, and some hubs - for soul? This should satisfy both sides
I have a 120,000 word novel I could do with getting published, and another half way through LOL
Seriously, I do try to do that and sometimes it works. I wouldn't say the two are mutually exclusive, but you really need a different mindset, and I find it hard to switch.
For instance, my American recipe hub was a labor of love, and when Jason saw it, he offered to pay for it and turn it into a FH. Which was great, and I certainly appreciated the money and the sentiment but I wrote it for me, and it shows - it is recipes and as such makes very little ad money - I didn't even want to spoil it with amazon and ebay capsules, so I left them out:D
The other thing is, people find it very difficult to read long blocks of text online - myself included, and I find anything over 1500 max doesn't get read.
Oh well, thsat was from the soul,Denmarkguy - I think it's great that you do what you do. But there is more than one reason to write.
Sometimes I write just to get it out of my system, sometimes to be creative, but other times I write for money. I also like to have some fun with writing online and it's not all work:

6. Sorry to hear that. Take a lighted candle and a bottle of scotch to bed. Drink the scotch until you see three candles. Blow out the middle one and go to sleep. In the morning you will feel much better. Never fails.Have you added Stacie to your chicks who hub, hub? I love the comments over there on your hub. Basic psychology is a very amusing thing.
You know you can always delete the comments you don't like - no one would blame you; it's just rude of people to use someone elses hub as a soapbox.We'll be sure and include you next time.

Pah! Mozzarella is good for salads and Pizzas - nothing else. You wouldn't sit down with some bread, wine and a nice piece of Mozzarella would you?
And don't say yes, or you will ruin my whole picture of you.
I can be also found on google under keyword "niche mini sites" #1 out of 206,000 again not a fluke I've been there since late may of 07 and not so Looooooong tail
Back in 2003 I had a website that slowly clawed it's way up the SERP's at Google for the keyword babes.
The site strangely did not show babes in states of undress or -- much to Mark's disgust -- was it about Hot Indian Chicks
Even on the 4th, 5th and 6th page of results you still get good traffic (in terms of quantity) for that keyword. I guess the type of people hitting it are digging deep to find something to really turn them on.
After about a year I finally made it into the top ten (first page of results) and managed to fluctuate between 2nd and 5th position.
The results changed daily. In fact more than once per day. I would check it when I got to work, at lunch time and before I left work. And I'd see the fluctuations.
I sat there for about 2 full years. I updated the site regularly.
It eventually slipped from favour and dropped like a rock.
But the point I'm trying to make is this... I just wanted to brag.
Just kidding.
By no means does publishing a page about any given topic with a few appropriate meta-tags give a person a free pass to the top of the food chain.
If it does then the combination of keywords are probably rarely used, as Mark has pointed out.
People can get excited with being 1 out of 10 million, but that 10 million isn't a reflection of traffic, merely the number of pages with similar content.
If indeed a person IS getting traffic by their long tail keywords then it most likely is quality traffic. Even if it lacks in quantity.
When I was riding high on the babes keyword I was getting 5000+ visitors a day from Google. Unfortunately I wasn't signed up to Adsense at the start. But when I did and when the drop in search engine traffic came my CTR plummeted. Which in this instance told me that Search Engine traffic are more likely to click on Adsense ads.Related Discussions

What's the point of a hub score or hubber score?
I've been on here for a few years, and I guess I never really understood the point of these scores. They don't seem to provide any real value to the user and I can't convince myself that they add value because they fluctuate so much.What's the point? Am I supposed to use these scores to tell me...
