Hi, I have taken the plunge and written my first hub. I would appreciate any advice.
Your fist hub looks good. The content is also interesting. The photo is nice but you may move it to left side, it will helps the present of layout better. You choose the competitive topic, it may hard to get traffic unless you invest sometime to build huge back links to it.
Anyway, this is good for starting, try to make another one and get traffic to your hubs.
Good luck.
Welcome to HubPages, and nice job on your first hub. You've got a lot of good, well-written information.
You should move that first picture down to at least the second text capsule, and make sure your first text capsule is long enough to accommodate a large, rectangular ad that will show up.
I would take the first list of Amazon products and make it right flush to one of the text capsules.
Also, don't be afraid to use several text capsules with different section titles or headings. It helps to break up the text.
Try to have at least 10 to 15 tags. Make some fairly general (as you have), but also put a few more specialized tags in there.
And then go find some hubs by SunForged or Darkside and see what they have to say about keyword research.
The lay out is a bit of plain and can't attract enough traffic. I have no hub to publish yet, you did a better job than me!
Thanks for the feedback! I made some changes. It some playing around to figure it out, but I am learning.
Thanks again!
It looks informative and well organized. now put some you tubes tutorials and more pic of before and afters..
You Go Girl... I am new too. I have fallen on my face but got right back up... Keep writing............
Thanks, everyone for your advice. I have made some changes to them. I have no idea what is good traffic. I am getting 6-12 hits/views per day on the three. I have written so far one in the past three days. Just curious what kind of numbers I should be looking for.
Thanks!
I have made more improvements to my hubs. Any advice on them now?
Thanks!

Hi,I have been a member of Hubpages for a while. I have a bunch of hubs, published on various accounts, and since the Google slap, have noticed that my hub views, which weren't all that great before, have now dropped to almost nothing. On average, I seem to be getting about 1/2 a view a day per...

I have been on Hubpages two months now and to be honest I don't think I'm doing to bad considering i did not have a clue about writing before I came here.I have recently published my 37th Hub and was wondering how do people bring in such big traffic to their hubs in a short space of time?I use...

I had typed this hub. I knew it required a lot of finesse so as not to make it appear cheap. Just when I was all immersed into it, I got this message that the ads would be disabled if I published the hub.It hurt me very badly. I deleted it at once. But today, I feel that I do need to express my...

Any advice on what to do when no more tweaking is possible?You’ve got the dreaded Zzzz’s and have tweaked and tuned some particular hubs to the ’nth’ degree. They’re well-written, grammatical and erudite but, thanks to the vagaries of Google, they may not get the views they once got. Further...

Do you think you are losing readers with this new policy of hub waiting for 24 hours?I have noticed ever since we have this 24 hour 'holding' hub thing going on that I have lost readers on that particular hub. I think that now it doesn't show up on our profile for nearly two days we should be...
