I'm trying something new with my hubs that I wonder if others have done and found successful...
Back when I first joined HP, I wrote a bunch of travel hubs that are really detailed but, well, completely suck when it comes to keywords and all of that. I've tweaked them -- a lot --and that's helped, but their main problem is that they're too long and general about an area or country.
So what I'm now doing is "reconstructing" them in new hubs, where I zoom in on a much more specific area or city and add much more detail in about that specific place. Then I'm going to link all of these newer, more specific hubs to my old one, sort of so they all spin off of it.
I'm excited about trying this, so I'll let you all know how it turns out and see if it's something worth doing.
Sounds like a great plan to me and I'll be interested to read how it works for you. Good luck Naomi.
This is a better way to go for any subject, in general a very generic broad hub will have a fair bit of competition within the old search engines, but being specific will probably reduce the competition that you face against other sites. Also it will give you the opportunity to draw readers across your subject and read more of your hubs by using the many links between your hubs..
And it will also improve your pagerank from the links and give you more link juice for the search engines..
Good to know! HP is my first foray into dealing with the whole world of SEO and such, so I was very green at first, I feel like I have a better handle on it now, so I want to take advantage of that.
You should check out the Hubtrails project. Your hubs sound perfect for the project.

I'll only mention this once but I need one volunteer Hubber willing to set up a fresh HubPages account and to learn SEO, to build hubs following all the SEO tricks which I'll show you, essentially someone who is completely new to HubPages and whom wants to learn to build money making hubs with...

I have well over 300 hubs. I earn about $40 from my content each month. This is because my SEO and keyword research skills are really bad. I can't stuff keyword into content just to please the search engines and I hate backlinking. Do I have any chance to get to about $100/month and if so how?

I started in late August 2012 and want to start up the New Year with some long and short term goals. I don't have a clue where to start. I have pruned, revised, rewrote, edited until my poor bonsai Hubs have been shaped to their very branches. I am so confused by keywords and I have...

I've spent the last few months experimenting with different hub lengths and layouts on sales hubs and trying to be rigorous about it. It's impossible to do this in a completely statistically valid model with this relatively small number of hubs (about 350), but after trying different styles of...

Having been on HP now for more than four years while kinda' inactive for the last two I am looking more closely. I have cleaned up my portfolio from over 100 hubs with low views to now about 10. I had a lean of writing more for self than as a business venture seeking a niche. Now, I am looking more...

I need reassuring.Up until a few months back I understand, maybe wrongly, HP pages got additional boost from Google. That implies (to me) that Google wanted content farms to churn out pages so that every possible search term was covered by pages that had associated Adsense advertising.Now...
