             the quality of the writing here is what attracted my attention.
             we can learn so much from people such as yourself and I appreciate those who are so willing to help! I googled something today to find out the name of a restaurant and a hubpage article came up and gave me my answer!

    I have no clue as to how I found HubPages.  What I do know is I wish I wasnt such a dam fool when I got my first account deleted 2 years ago because I was a stupid spammer.
    
    Oh sure back then I believed it was all Hubpages fault and then I wasted almost 2 years before I came back and started doing things properly.
    
    Just think if I would have hung around I could be famous, lol, ta right.

    I first saw hubpages while building some easy backlinks on a new topic via Yahoo answers, one of the previous commenters had a link to a topic with almost the exact same title as mine.
    
    I followed the link and saw a completely terrible, broken english spammy crappy article, and this was my impression of hubpages.
    
    A few months later I was reviewing the 30dc course materials and read through the hubpages and squidoo portions.
    
    i was familiar with squidoo and was a fan of seth grodin for years already but was also aware of the big google slap.
    
    So I gave Hubpages a try..one of my first articles from my first week was featured for a couple of weeks and had a high 90's score, the traffic was great so my second first impression was excellent and i decided to work it into my network/system, and glad that i did
