Hi guys!
I'm new, my name is Tom How are you all?
I'm hoping to get some feedback and constructive criticism on my Hubs thus far from some more experienced Hubbers.
What am I doing right/wrong? What could I do better?
Thanks for your time!
Tom.
Hi! Weolcome to Hubpages.
I just visited a few of your hubs and have noticed that you have placed pictures at the very start of your hubs. According to many hubbers the top right corner of a hub is a prime spot for adsense, so I will recommend you not to place pictures at the spot, else it's all fine you are doing a good job keep it up. You are very new so you must leave your hubs for sometime and let them mature, your hardwork will pay off at the end. Just Keep in mind to do good keyword research before selecting a topic.
Wish you luck
Thanks a lot for your feedback, Valeed! I normally select the photo at the top followed by text capsules as my preferred layout. So will have to re-think this for some of my Hubs. I have already read a bit on keyword research, but still have a LOT of learning to do on that and SEO.

When I add pictures to my hubs in an effort to improve them, they are huge! I don't see a way to change the size. We used to have Full, Half, and Quarter. What are we supposed to do now? I notice they get smaller if I put them to the right side of the hub, but that isn't where I always want them....

Is it possible to get feedback on my hubs?I'm trying to learn the best I can on the best way to contribute, but it would be helpful if I got a "you are doing this right - you are doing this wrong" type of feedback! Thanks!
