What are the elements or factors that make hubs mature?
I'm just curious as to what things make a hub mature (meaning it suddenly receives significant traffic, of perhaps, a hundred a day)? Are these things beyond or within our control? Because if it is within our control, maybe we can exert more effort in making them mature faster. Thanks in advance for sharing!
All "mature" ever means in regards to a web page is "old enough for search engines to like."
Nothing more, nothing less. Search engines traditionally like brand new things, and older things.
So, when your content is brand new....in a day or two, you should get some search engine traffic....after that, not so much until the thing is about six months old.
Me? I've had things sit and do not much for over a year, and then WHAMMO! All of a sudden a page I forgot about is doing great.
Sometimes, a page that isn't so old just takes off....I don't think there can ever truly be so much statistical analysis to narrow down just how or why these things happen...or if there is, then it isn't likely worth our time to get too into.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful insight! And I guess, the only thing we should really focus on is making our content of high quality.
Absolutely! It is most important to enjoy doing it, that way it is worth the effort, regardless.
i do agree with the info shared. if there is an analytical way to follow i havent seen it. if anyone finds it, i hope they share the knowledge.

We all know that there's so much competition to rank in search engines, and we've all heard that 'content is king', but what does that *really* mean?What it means is that Google is now placing much more importance on the authority, authorship, relevance and uniqueness of the content we create, very...

I am kind of tired of this whole traffic thing. Everyone else claims great success, and I can't get a view. I have only 2 views today, and 23 views for the whole week.I have tried everything to get traffic, and nothing is working for me. I even joined several social sites, and my traffic has only...

I have 2 hubs devoted to Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series. If you are not familiar with the books, they do include erotic scenes. I have these hubs marked mature, but have turned the ads off. I was shocked at the graphic ads showing. I wasn't sure of the policy regarding mature content.Can...

How long does it take your hubs to mature on Google search?Just wondering how long it takes before you get that much needed organic traffic, weeks, months, more than a year?

If a hub is not featured does that mean that it doesn't get any search engine traffic from Google or other search engines?
