      Sounds like you're talking about Misha.
      
      I'm pretty sure he's got a lot more going on than meets the eye.
      
      But for me hubs over fan base, fans are cool but they don't make the cash register ring.

            Surely you were, cause frankly I don't know of anybody else with such stats but me, and just a couple of days ago you were trying to argue with me over nothing. As I told you back then, if you have something against me, bring it up to light, don't let it spoil your leisure.
            
            As for the what's more important, I can give you a few more facts, so you have more food for comparison: the majority of my hubs are ghost written, and many of them are spun.
            
            Happy pondering

               I have nothing against you, and I don't care how long you have been here on hubs, I think and some other hubbers think you come across very arrogant. You need to come down off your pedestal and be a little bit more down to earth. Be more supportive than critical, joking or not sometimes it's not funny! Doesn't matter to me how long you been here or how many stories you've spun. We're all equal here, all in the same boat. Ponder that! Oh and thanks.

                     I have bookmarked 36 of my hubs, and will now be bookmarking the rest. It made me think...... that you must be well on the way to being a millionaire now?

                           The impressions are always zero, yes. BUT.... I have found out that this is normal for pages that are set up to display multiple adsense publisher ads at the same time. There can be 3 IDs at the same time on those pages, and adsense will only record the primary publisher, which is whoever owns Shetoldme.com.
                           
                           This is nothing to worry about, just means that it is difficult to judge performance. Hope that clarifies.

                              Although I do write for another site that displays my ads and the site owners ads at the same time, and my stats are always recorded as normal there (as are his).  But I'm sure it's fine, fuck it, if nobody else is worried about it, then I shan't either.
                              
                              Many thanks.

                                    Yeah I'm sure it's nothing, it just seemed a little unusual.
                                    
                                    The other site is a site called 'DotWhat?' which is a site about computer file extensions (very boring) but it's run by a friend of mine who I occasionally help write content for (for a share of the Adsense), unfortunately it's a private deal between the two of us rather than an open-to-all site, you wouldn't want in anyway, it's pretty dull and although it's been doing great for the last 3 years it's just been Google slapped.
                                    
                                    Have you tried Squidoo?  I don't like it but some do OK there, I've also heard others mention 'Bukisa' and 'InfoBarrel' as alternatives.

                           Sorry Darkside, but it is not possible for you or me to be "more equal", as by it's very definition, we would in fact be "inequal". But that in itself certainly does not make me your equal by any measure, although I do not believe that I am experiencing inequality. Get your head around that

      I don't think its up to anyone to judge another's level of success, I've written a total of 36 Hubs in 5 weeks but only have 16 published because I delete those that are poorly written and hardly visited. If I was to use this then as a measuring stick who is the more accomplished the one that has 15 great hubs that generate enormous traffic or the one with 100 hubs that are complete crap and get no traffic. Maybe...and this is just an idea, but how about we all just focus on ourselves and stop comparing what we do to each other, or if we're going to compare let's cut the crap and just whip em' out and settle the whose biggest argument once and for all.

         It doesn't really work like that, Eaglekiwi.  Shoppers don't arrive at your profile page and browse through all your Hubs.  They come straight to the one Hub that (hopefully) answers the question they asked on Google.  It's quite likely they won't even notice you've written any other Hubs!

   Fanbase means nothing, when I had my old account I had 500 of which I would say over 200 got bored and buggered off, about 100 log on maybe once in a few weeks, and the other 200 have never bought me a drink in real life so lets discount the Fan Base.
   
   The amount of Quality Hubs is just luck, I had 49 hubs and only 10 made money of which only 1 made me over $100. So if someone is sitting with at least 10 good quality evergreen hubs its going to always beat 200 hubs that are just standard.
   
   Why you actually think a fanbase is important after yer time on the site shows you have learnt nothing, the money comes from outside Hubs, not within. Hope that helps, if it doesnt, like I care !
