I think it was thisisoli who lead me to Traffic Travis (thank you, to whomever it was...)
So, now that I've installed the free version, I'm playing around with it. I put in the URL of the last hub I published (a product hub), and it got a B+. Thought that was pretty good.
But I'm looking at the actual report, where suggestions are given. (God, I love this thing, btw!)
For the "first 50 words" analysis, it lists these as my first 50:
best crocs for kids hubpages sign in contest start a new hub my account join help browse raquo topics hubs answers hubbers forums feed site hubs more rarr all topics fashion beauty children baby apparel best crocs for kids best crocs for kids 66 rate or flag this page by
Obviously, all of the HubPage stuff takes up most of those 50 words and, I'm assuming, reduces our SEO?
Anything we can do to optimize this?
I wouldnt mind a play with a freebie... what is the url for this Lynda?
I'm glad you're having such a good go with it...LOL...I'm still trying to figure out how make it do ANYTHING. LOL
Yeah I wondered about the first 50 words thing too, but my keywords always seem to appear in there so I am not too fussed!
That program is a good guide, but it not the be all and end all of SEO, it simply provides information which you should look at and decide what to do with!
I should have put up a referal link for it though, just incase any of you lot decide to buy >.< ![]()
Well, I've had fun with it today. Improved about half a dozen hubs using it. Can't get an "A+" though, because of the meta tag issue ... but I'll take an A. ![]()
I'll take a B+, even. But lower than that, and I'm spending time fixing it.
It just doesn't have the CPC, which is a bummer.

I was thinking that the hub hopping tool is great and all, but it doesn't really address hubs that are older and have slipped through the cracks for months and even years.I was thinking that we could have an adopt a topic program.For example, I've been writing a lot of hubs on Nepal and have looked...

Other Hubbers worry about hubscores or follower counts or featured/unfeatured. For me, it all comes down to one sordid number.What's so magic about $12.50?$12.50 / week = $50 in 28 days, or an average of about $1.80 a day. That's how much you need to reach Hubpages' minimum payout threshold every...

Hello All, I have read the FAQ's and other help areas of HubPages, including many topics from the learning center, but, from what I've found so far, it seems like a lot of talking around the question, but not really, directly, simply, accurately addressing the question: What are good topics for...
