Everybody is talking about seo techniques, but ı haven't learned a single one except backlinking whatever it is and how differs from just linking. I made a quick search on google, tips were mainly for websites not articles or hubs. Can anyone tell practical seo tips for hubs?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very wide topic to answer in few sentences. Like others mentioned, you need to learn and educate yourself.
But simply put, in order for the search engine to pick up your hub, you need to choose a specific keyword and use that keyword in the head line and 3 or 4 times in the body of the hub. Also you have to choose the same keyword as a tag (along with related keywords(tags)).
So whenever a user searches for the keyword you used in your hub (also you have chosen as a tag), there are high chances that your hub will show up on the first page of search engine results, because it is relevant to the keyword the user is searching.
If there are any SEO experts in the forum, please correct me if I am wrong.
this is the most descriptive post ı have seen about seo, thanks
I'd really recommend reading this great hub by Pcunix (someone who has been writing on the 'net since the 90s) about why you shouldn't stress so much about SEO. Has some great info in there as well as links if you really do want to stress, too.

There's a lot to SEO but the first thing to learn is keyword research. You need to learn how to choose good keywords and how to assess the publisher competition for them. The next thing to learn is onpage optimization. When you've got those sussed then start learning about backlinks. This will take you a good while (like at least a few months, but more likely nearer a year to really get it).

I'm worried that a requirement for SEO techniques compromises the freedom to write about what you want on hubpages and still get enough traffic to make money. Is it possible to write about whatever you want and still get traffic or do you have to write on popular subjects to draw people to your...

I know very little about SEO. If you have hubs on niche sites, is it still important to have a knowledge of SEO? I get little love from Goggle.
