Can a hub be like 10000 words or more?
I was wondering since it's called a "Hub" it ought to be a "hub" of tightly woven content around a topic? It's impossible to get that kind of detail in just 1500 words or so. So can it be like many more words that that?
In theory yes, there's nothing stopping you from writing more than 1500 words. But people are less likely to read an extremely long hub all the way through. You'd be better off splitting your content into several hubs of around 1000-1500 words.
Hey JKenny
Thanks a ton for that response. I get that Hmm. Well, more than one hub will not hurt. Maybe it's even better for me.
haha there should be a hubpages contest for the longest hub that will be crazy
you could but i think you might loose the interest of your readers if you're planning to write a long hub. the best way i think is to divide your whole content into chapters and write a hub about each chapter ... at the end you can put them all in the same category so if the reader is interested they can move on to the next chapter with a link at the bottom of the hub ... this way you'll get feedback on specific chapters rather than the whole huge hub.

I am doing a 20 "such and such" quotes about "such and such" hub. I even went back in after they marked it duplicate and made sure 400 of the words are my words, even though I know people googling it aren't going to want to read my words and are instead just going to be coming...

To meet the 'quality' standard to avoid hubs getting sleepy ZZZd just follow these rules:=> A minimum of 1500 words of truly informative, well-written, useful content => A minimum of 5 relevant, high-resolution, properly-attributed photos (ideally your own) => 2 videos (ideally your own)...

I thought this article was very interesting. It's by a blogger who tested long posts vs short ones, and found the longer posts did much better:http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/12/20/t … ersions/#.(note: there's a popup that comes up - I just closed it and it went away).

An ongoing topic I've seen over the years I've been on Hubpages is "How do I make my low traffic hubs better."I saw it again today in a Hub Pro thread (if you haven't already, should definitely opt in - it was a fantastic experience.)My best advice to anyone who is writing online is:If it...

I just wrote a hub on making money with HubPages but wanted to make sure it's ok before publishing. I know you are not supposed to mention what you are earning on HP, but is it ok to use titles like 'How To Earn $1000 per month on Hubpages', or 'How To Make $1 Million On Hubpages'? I don't...
