I'm..
99,000 views away from 100k.
850 followers away from 1k.
440 hubs off 500.
99 cents off my dollar a day target (it was originally 100 dollars a day but that's just crzay talk)
1 sale away from my 1 sale on Amazon target.
73 pages away from featuring on the front page of Hubs Hot stuff.
497 views away from my Google 500 a day visit target
My best hub is on page 49 when you Google search "total crap"
Apart from that its going really well.
Mate, that's really close, you're almost there!!
i bet the story will change within 3 months. It has happened to me. The traffic is increasing everyday.
Sorry, I got a bit exicted when I realised how close I was. Still a newbie...
And you already have more accolades than I do.
That my friend comes from endless self promotion and points grubbing, er, I mean quality content.
I know saleheen - it is so unfair. What can I say? The Google Gods must have looked at my content and thought they were onto a winner.
See Newbie - that's what hard work does for you. It takes you that little bit nearer to wherever it is you're going.
What's your destination again? Cos you put a lot of numbers out there. Was almost like reading my mothers credit card bill.
I am less sure about my destination than I was when I started. But I will leave no turd unstoned, no cliche unspoken until I reach my personal Everest.
Watch out Misha.. newbie coming through.
er. I jest obviously. No offence and all that.
I sort of know that, well, live in hope that a magic switch will flip somewhere. Trouble is I don't really know it, and I have these moments of time that are insufficient to write anything other than (yet) another of 'those' forum posts.
I think that a lot of us are waiting for a 'magic switch', but I suspect that hard work and gaining knowledge is the only way forward.
You have a lot of hubs for the short time you have been here, so keep writing and you will come about.
Look on the bright side - you don't have to pay income tax on your earnings yet!
Thanks CM, no easy route to success. Bother.
On the plus side, it is great fun.
So close Mark you can almost touch it mate !
Never ever give up - success is just around the corner..!
I have been here two months and just about doing as well as you.
Good luck & happy hunting in the future !
I've been here 9 mo and made $24.90.
How long did it take you to make $100?
I keep telling you and telling you, you are going to do fine.
You are far too smart and witty to fail. Well, I suppose you could just give up and un-publish all your hubs in a fit of rage or spend a drunken evening replacing all the text capsules with lorem ipsum text and all your photos with Goatse clips.. actually, that sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Hang in there. You'll be fine.
.
I had to look up both lorem ipsum and Goatse. I could have done without Goatse.
Thanks Pcunix for the motivational stuff and the two new expressions. I had to look them up as well. I could have done with Goatse although interesting, but the first one was very useful. Now I can really churn those hubs out...
Rome wasn't built in a day - never ever ever give up ! I am going to keep at it even if I write hubs that only a few visit - I have a couple like that too.
You need to practice patience...

I've now been averaging fifty to sixty views a day across all of my hubs for over a month. The overall trend is leveling out. Needless to say, this isn't the performance I would like.Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? I'm aware that it might be lack of videos (I don't like using other...

Do you guys get excited when you Google something and your answer comes up in the form of a hub?I've found that some of the things I look up are answered by fellow hubbers on here. I think it's great!

I've been here on Hubpages a few months now and it's really exciting to see those clicks build on Google Adsense.I've had a couple of $3.00+ days and although that may seem a small amount, it's it heartening to see my effort starting to pay off! Based on the last three months 'growth' I...

yay!!!! good job hanging in there, it must have been frustrating at times, waiting and stuff. Glad to hear your good news.
by Ben G 12 years ago
I'm curious to hear if there are any hubbers, who saw a big drop in traffic after the most recent Google Panda and Penguin updates, have fixed their issues and are getting good traffic again yet?I think it would be good for us all to know what changes brought about your renewal of traffic, since...
