With time, well written hubs will gain traffic from search engines?
I see that being mentioned here and there. Does that happen because of magic? prayers? is there another explanation? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Magic and prayers might help, but if something is well put together and informative, more people are likely to share it, comment on it and read it. The more people that read it, the higher it goes in the search engine ratings.
If it has a subject that people are searching for, it will get views, links and mentions that push it upwards-- but it takes time for those statistics to accumulate.
Badly written hubs are ignored or unpublished.
It's no magic at all. It's all based on search engine algorithms, which take time to accumulate statistical data. That data is based on results of your traffic. If people click away real fast, this shows the hub may have little value. If readers stay on the page a long time, then they are probably reading to the end. This shows search engines that you may have something of value and well written. So they will send more traffic over time.
Whilst the search engines do need some time to evaluate a new hub, you also need to do some of your own "online marketing" this is not at all difficult. What you can do to help:-
Post to your hub from forums
Use your own blog or blogs to mention your hubs
Like with your facebook account
Ask your friends to do the same.
This will all help to give you hub that little extra push

Just wondering if it is spamming to submit your hubs to the same social networking sites more than once? For example, if you wait a week or so between and you are trying to get your hub more traffic can you submit it again to Twitter or Facebook? Or is this a bad idea. Also if so then how long...

Almost all of mine comes from this website. How could I get information out, and what could some other sources be for me?
by Pamela Lipscomb 10 years ago
I haven't written anything on HP for about two years. I still come by occasionally to comment, or post to the forum. I noticed that with 174 hubs I get about 100 pages views a day. Just wondering if real traffic is sent to those participating, rather than those who are not. ...
