I want to know if my first hub is read-worthy. I wrote my first Hub last night after researching for about two days for the numbers and facts. I love me some football and just recently became almost too into it. If you get a chance can you read it? Thanks!
Hi, crystalkuhns. Welcome to HubPages.
In my opinion, you've got a well-written hub. It's always nice to see someone who is meticulous in his/her writing. It's a little short for a hub, though.
Put a poll on your hub -- quickly! That might attract interest.
Just ask: Who do you think is going to win the SEC Championship? (A) Florida or (B) Alabama
Your hub will only have short-term interest,since it's about an event that will soon be over. However, football fans here might like to vote. You need traffic as a newbie.
I know you asked about the writing itself. Hope you don't mind the suggestions about optimizing traffic.
No! That was great help thank you very much! I will get a poll on there now. I need more traffic!
also, you can post a link to your hub in this forum, and more people might click on it. http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/26980
there also is a sports forum with a thread about who will win.
you may want to make an appearance, but don't post your link there, maybe just participating in the thread may bring you some traffic.
I'm a gators fan.
welcome to HP.
Not bad at all for your first hub! Great job. I hope you expand your stories to other topics too. I became a fan, keep it going!
Yeah, a real shame I can't vote, but I don't follow college football.
I would also recommend putting "SEC championship poll" and "college football polls" as tags on your hub.
I am sure that college football is a very competitive topic on the search engines, but you want to drive traffic to your articles if possible. Good luck.

Is there any value in writing hubs purely for traffic? I have always written to a niche that I know I can make cash on despite very low traffic volumes, but while I make money (and I assume HP must be making money too) my HubScore fluctuates between the high sixties and low eighties. I am hoping a...

Hi,I've signed up and am ready to start making hubs in my specialised subject, but I was wondering what the earning potential of hubbig (if that's a word) actually is. I realise it all depends on how attractive your pages are and how good they are etc, but what are people actually earning? I am not...

I suppose with the latest Google Panda update and all the low traffic we've been getting, I guess it's time to start writing more hubs. While I wasn't affected too badly by the update, I still want to increase my traffic and hit payout next month or the month after. I want to hit 80 hubs by the end...
