    Please help. 90% of the articles that have gotten the views are featured which is contradictory to last month's earnings when I had less featured articles being viewed more yet made significantly more. Number of views is also high. Why in the heaven's name is this? How do you improve it?

      You can have 150 views a day and make $5.00, or you can have 150 views a day and make two cents. It all depends on the CPM your articles are getting. CPM stands for Cost Per Mille (thousand), and it's the price advertisers pay per 1,000 "impressions," basically views, from people visiting your articles. It translates into money for you, but it depends on the CPM number. You will see this if you look at your Ad Program earnings only.

      You may already know this; if not it will help you better understand your earnings.

        I've noticed about CPM, but still am unable to establish any relation with type or title or even size of the article. I'm looking through HP tutorials right now but am unable to find any clear guideline or information.

          I typed "hubpages learning center titles" into Google and the top result was:

    When you say the views are very high, how many per day do you mean?

  3. nisargmehta profile image49
    nisargmehtaposted 2 years ago

    Not a lot but more than 150. And It was about the same I was having last month on some days..

    It's difficult to believe that your views can be that high if you're earning so little. Perhaps, as Bev (theraggededge) says, we need to see the numbers in order to have a better idea of what's going on?

    Your main issue, I would guess, is that your articles are in Discover, which generally doesn't yield a lot of views and earnings.

      I agree about Discover part. I do try to submit my articles to various sites every 15 days as per policy. Except Poems, I don't see any others on those sites. So, direct views aren't that high.

      However, I do constantly share my featured articles on various social media every single day, which helps me reach such number of views. Still earnings don't ramp up, rather they went down.

        Social media views often don't earn much. You really need search engine views.

    Also, having had a quick look at your profile, your titles aren't terribly inviting or SEO-friendly. You can probably earn on Discover, but you need to attract search engine traffic.

    Why don't you work through your articles and improve the titles? They have to clearly indicate what the article is about.

    1. nisargmehta profile image49
      nisargmehtaposted 2 years agoin reply to this

      I can definitely do that. Would you please suggest me a couple from my articles or even yours to help me understand?

      Also please shed some light on how to make a title SEO-friendly?

      1. PaulGoodman67 profile image68
        PaulGoodman67posted 2 years agoin reply to this

        The importance of titles and SEO is explained in the HP Learning Center. Anything that Bev or I says will just be us repeating that advice.

          Fantastic! I'll be on it.

    There's also an article about titles that I recently published on my profile.

      I just read this, thanks for a great article. On the subject of truncating, I also read that it is more helpful to have your subject in the first few words. (LIke your example “Dating a Narcissist? 5 Reasons You Need to Run Away—Now" instead of “What Is a Narcissist? 5 Important Characteristics”. I have changed a few of mine and see how they do without "how to" and other overused words at the beginning. (I have a lot of those.)

            Hehehe! It feels that way whenever we revisit our works. So I try not to go down that rabbit hole, unless I must to update.
