Cans any one tell me how long it will be before I can see my article in google, or is it only hubbers can see our articles
Shalon, your article needs to appear on the first page of Google for a popular search term. Type your title (by the way, remove the quotation marks from around it) and see the sites that you are competing with for the top spots.
I'm looking at Google UK results and seeing YouTube, Snopes, the Daily Express, Wikipedia, Esquire, The Rolling Stone and the Daily Star. Those are your competitors for this topic. Very, very hard to rank highly for that topic. To be frank, your article will not come close.
Personally, I wouldn't focus on one article, I'd be writing the next and planning the next half dozen. As you write each one, your writing will improve and you will learn lots.
That's how I found it, with quote marks around the title.

I read mixed opinions about back linking hubs, I guess Google algorithm considering lot of things to rank the page well besides backlink. What you think? is back link really helped you to rank well? or without any back link a good content(with 1000 words) will rank? share your experience

I was approached by a company who wants me to write an article about their product and post it to my HP site. Though, I told them it needs to be evergreen and educational - not a hard sell or spammy. They want to proof it and approve it before it goes up. This is cool since they are paying...

I'm having an issue deciding what keywords to go after. Most of the lower competition words I'm not as interested in and it takes me longer to write since I'm not enjoying. But, most of the things I'm very interested in are harder to rank for but I can pump out hubs on those subjust easily. So, do...
