I am two weeks into my Hub Pages expereince and loving the opportunity to practice my passion. I would love to have other hubbers with more experience in life, writing and hubbing to look over my efforts and offer ideas for improvement.
Thanks for your time.

Hey Dobson, I think that you need to choose one of your hubs and ask people to look it over - 30 is too many!
This is the one thread where you can post one of your own links, so go for it.
How about this one, it is in the middle of all my hubs rank wise:
http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-safeguar … man-nature
Some suggestions:
1. The hub is awfully short. I usually recommend keeping them around 1000 words, but that's just me.
2. Play with the amazon capsule a little more. It's nice to list four books in a row, but that doesn't always get peoples attention. You can have multiple amazon capsules in your page - spread them out to highlight them better. Also, add a short description on why you personally recommend the book. It's the difference between someone walking up to you on the street and saying, "Buy this book!", and someone explaining how great the book is.
3. Use pictures. They add interest.
4. Learn about SEO if you intend on making money from your hubs.
Now, enough with that.. You do have a very good hub here, and the message is both important and powerful. Keep experimenting. Remember, the reason we write is to be read.
Keep pluggin' away! Good luck!

Hey fellow hubbers,I've been posting quite a few hubs recently and I've also been doing quite a lot of SEO for them however, there is some part of the puzzle that just isn't clicking for me. Most of the people that are coming to my hubs are bouncing, my bounce rate is 78%. Can you look at just 1...

Sounds like there are lots of changes going on, and it seems that many Hubbers are discouraged. If you were starting from scratch on the site, would you still put in the effort to build your portfolio of hubs here, or would you write primarily for other sites?

Is the growth sustainable? When I arrived 4 months ago, we had 400,000 hubs. What is it now, 500,000? Does this site really benefit from people writing almost identical hubs on the same topics?When somebody arrives they are told to write, write, write, write. 30 in 30 basically. I am being a little...

Hi everyone!I am a new Hubber with 2 Hubs under my belt since I joined last week. I have gotten some pretty good comments from friends and on the individual hubs themselves but I was wondering if I could get some feedback from other Hubbers and perhaps ways I can make it better, advice/comments on...
