Yes it works. But you have to work - to make it work :)
Having only joining this two days ago, all I can say is ... it works.
I'm too tired to work out the whys etc, I just know that it does. My traffic has already doubled (more than) and that is, I presume, the point.
I never was a hubber that had a thousand views per day but perhaps that's achievable now. Hopefully, a year or two down the line, between writing here, and elsewhere to strengthen the authority of what I write, I can finally have a home again.
My impetus for doing this. Not that I'm assuming I'll gain enough to buy a mansion. But something to put towards renting a (very) small apartment and start again would be very nice
So - although this may be a pain in the arse for many, due to the increased hub output, I'm sure that many of us have very valid reasons for typing 'til our eyes bleed/blur/go blind.
And if you're simply doing this because you want to - I still take my hat off to you. It's an awful lot of graft.
Still - as I said at the beginning of my whitterings, the purpose for the 30 day doodah works. I'm more than pleasantly surprised - Nelle Hoxieposted 15 years ago

Nelle I had to read that twice! I thought you'd said your new car was 50k. My jaw dropped. As in 'oh my goodness she earns that much?!'
And thankyou - same to you. New home, new wheels. We'll get there!
BC - I didn't earn a bean April/May. Then June came round and I made some.
July I made the same. Then I hit the amount I'd made in the whole of July yesterday, ten days still left in the month, plus factor in that for 10 days of August it was a big fat zero.
However, I saw others having the same problem and realised that holiday season had kicked in. So this month has only been across 9 days.
Anyway, I reckoned maybe October or so for me. Then I discovered that what I'd earned in June has gone. I don't know where, just that it's vanished. Just my luck
And so, the short version of my waffling is: writing hubs pays if you do the typing bit
That's a shame BC, about 'since June'. No idea why but I guess it happens. And I do have a very big motivator ... not having a place to call home helps
Unlucky
My husband kept all. It was a lot of 'all' too. I simply walked away. It was the safest thing to do.
Though my solitor went bald/grey/nuclear. But he wasn't having to run awayI don't really care though as there is good equity on the house but hey she actually decided to break up 4 months after I had the heart attack, nice timing doncha think. See thats the thing about a website, people see the guy who acts the fool, they dont see the fool behind the mask but hey we all have our problems and mine are nothing compared to others. And that I promise you is the last time I put my private life on the site

Nelle - thankyou but I'm fine and well. Honest, no regrets, I'm happy, I'm getting 'there'
Thankyou - I am and I will. I'll possibly just carry on regardless. Perhaps I can shift the backlog I've got anyway, plus a few extra I've been writing since Wednesday, will add up to ... a lot.
@BC - hey no one's a fool. I think you're quite the character and far from being a fool. Just an irish laddie that gets in his cup then shares his cup with ... us. You're doing fine. And I won't tell ye mammie

Ah, that's good to hear darkside. I have a whole lot of nothing.
How blessed am ILOL! I love that.
Money is nothing without someone to share it, you have deff made me feel a lot better tonight and I have been thinking of getting out and hopefully meeting someone that will care and just be happy. I am happy things turned out good for you and if I was happy with someone the house could be hers. See I told you that yer pic made yer readers relate to you didnt I, and I thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated and they helped. I think tomorrow I am going to put my real pic up and be myself. Life deff is strange, the Moody Blues sure had that worked out
You should! Johnny Depp's got nothing on you.
Have a good one BC
And thanks guys. I feel fine. I have ... lots of nada 
Well, I came hear to learn about making money, and instead got a lot of hearts and flowers!
...and it did my heart good, I must say. Right now I am trying to sort out my new life, and the boxes of stuff I brought from the old one - left the house too, LOL. Grand to know that others have made it through - doesn't feel probable some days!
Hey Red Elf
You another that fell foul of love and life? If so - me too. Though I'm not through it. I'm still paddlingValerie - the adsense stuff differs. Some appear to be here a week or so and start seeing a little money, others months.
It's part luck, part hard work and a whole bunch of other stuff. Unique and/or original content. Finding a good topic to write about. Presenting your articles in a reader friendly and attractive layout.
Mostly, you just need to write and be patient. It will come, sooner or later - in the meantime - write. And there's lots of info kicking around the site. Many hubbers have written articles about how to write hubs and how it works and why.
Go read some of the top hubbers stuff, look at how they present their hubs and so on. It's a learning process and it gets easier as you go along
and welcome to hubpages by the way
