How should I link my articles to receive a boost from Google in traffic?
Should I link an existing article receiving traffic from Google to another relevant article on the same topic that is not receiving traffic from Google in hopes of a boost, or should I link the troubled article to the successful one?
Lots of theories on that....and every time Google updates its search engine...things change.
It used to be very simple....the person with the most "dofollow" backlinks and a decently written and laid out page about a high search topic easily won the "gaming the monster search engine" game.
It isn't that simple any more, but so far as I am currently aware -"dofollow" backlinks still help out.
Now, that said, if you write well about things you are truly enthusiastic about, and then you've also done the "on page search engine optimization" for your hubs...titled everything with keywords, positioned the capsules attractively, and spit out a few simple social network links, then you shouldn't have to backlink any more.....but if you do, it just might help a bit.
Spending time on backlinking isn't nearly as productive as is spending time writing something that is readable and interesting for persons interested in the topic....second to the actual writing...is the on page SEO stuff....Using keywords in capsule titles, captions, not putting too many or unrelated amazon ads - that is what I mean by "simple on page seo."

I pretty much have the same amount of traffic everyday but last week 5 of my hubs were moved to niche sites and since then I've has less half the traffic as normal. What could cause that?

Do you write for Google or the internal Hubpage community?As I read through the Hubpage tutorials they pointed out it is best to write articles that are "Evergreen."However MANY of the articles I read on Hubpages are simple commentary seemingly directed toward their Hubpage followers.I am...

Back-links are the main aspect of off-page SEO. There are several ways to get back-links. Social media, like posting your hubs to Facebook and Twitter, forum posting, and blog commenting are the most common. Just stay away from paid back-links, Google is cracking down on that finally. Then there is...

Over 1/4 of my hubs have not been moved to a niche site. They do not have much traffic from Google, so it is not HPs fault that they have not been selected. There is nothing wrong with them, but they do not have "Google love" so are only moved in the slow process where I ask HP to move...
