   Hi everyone,
   I recently published and article which was approved by hubpages. Unfortunately, i'm not getting enough traffic to that article. Is there any way you can look at it and let me know what i can to improve further.
   
   This title of the article is 5 Ways to Get Rid of Phlegm.
   
   Thanks
   Prem

            LOL. I didn't see that coming. Well, many are suffering from butt acne, and the article might be a good help.

      Hi, Premjayaram. You can use recipe capsules to show the ingredients and the instructions better.

   Well, this does happen. Some of us finish a hub, think "wow that is the best thing I have ever written" and it gets almost no views.
   
   There is always room for improvement but that is not the problem. If you sit around and think "I am going to wait until that one has thousands of views and then write my next one" you are not going to succeed here. The best thing you can do is write another. Maybe, a few months down the road, that article will start getting views. Maybe it will not.
   
   Start working on your next article. In the time that you have been here you could have completed many, many more.
   
   (By the way, have you even used a tool to figure out what the traffic for phlegm treatments is?)

   Even if you've done your keyword research well, written a brilliant Hub (maybe you have; I didn't look at it) and avoided an overcrowded topic, you can't possibly expect it to receive a lot of traffic in six days.
   
   For one thing, unless it gets moved over to a niche site you probably aren't going to get a lot of traffic. Your Hub is not on a niche site yet. It should be your goal to get it moved over. If you don't know what it takes to get a Hub on a niche site take some time to learn about it.
   
   But even after that it takes time. I usually wait 2-3 months before I make a judgement on whether or not one of my Hubs hit the mark.

   I've had articles I published sit around and do nearly nothing in terms of traffic for more than a year, and then WHAM, Google suddenly decided my article was wonderful, and it's suddenly getting more traffic than I'd ever thought it would.

      Yes unfortunately even with the best strategies in place you can't always predict what article will do what or why.  Some of the ones I thought would do really well haven't, while others I wrote just because I could write them quickly with little research are my most popular.  Go figure.  Just keep writing and some will do well enough to make a difference in your earning over time.

         And after a while you get a sense of what you are good at doing, and what you are not so good at doing. Obviously, you are best served by concentrating on the things you get the most Google respect from.

   When you want feedback on featured articles, you put in the improve my article forum and ask for suggestions. The email from HubPages team has the link too in the bottom of the email. Do that way
