Awesome. I just revised many of my hubs. Fixed tags, keywords, and titles.
I added referral trackers, thanks to darkside's great instructional hub. http://hubpages.com/hub/trackers
And links as suggested by Marisa Wright here http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/68055#post1489959
I really do think it's the trackers and links that are improving my traffic. Two hubs that never got more than 5 views a day, if that, are stretching toward three digits today.
Amazing.
It was hard work, but work I really enjoyed.
Thanks to all of the people who are so generous with their help and support. I hope to be able to return the favor someday.
That all may well be true, but simply changing a hub makes it fresh content in the eyes of Google, and that in and of itself will give it a bump in traffic. . . .while at the same time, our hubs always keep their publication date, making them more favored "aged content."
Of course I'm only telling you things that I've read in several places, and they seem to be true, as I've went back and modified most of my hubs at one point or another, and probably will continue to do so as well.
I like playing with the titles and title tuner, and I KNOW that that plays a huge part in our traffic. Even if I totally mis title something, given enough time, it will always present the proper title for the content in the stats "keyword" section.
Hubpages practically gives us every opportunity to create great content, it's all right there for us to go out and make it with, now we've just got to learn the rest of the tricks, and do it.

I spent some time searching and couldn't find the answer so...Does including a referral tracker destroy the value of the backlink? If so, is using a referral tracker for the interlinking between your hubs greater than the value the backlink will provide?

I've now written 52 Hubs but have less than 300 views from Google. I've read and taken the advice about titles, key words, niches, and high interest topics but am going nowhere fast. Is this the way it is or am I doing something horribly wrong? It seems like I'm missing a huge piece of the puzzle...

So yesterday I decided to try and get my head round URL trackers. I must say there are some very helpful Hubs out there are also some good forum topics on the subject. I think I've pretty much got most of it sussed. A few things though that I didn't work out.If I was to place a...

Any advice for a new Hubber on how to increase traffic to my hubs? I am interested in any and all ways people have had success with this. So far aside from being active on HubPages I am pinning my articles to my Pinterest but still have very low traffic. I understand that I am new and increasing my...

I have been sharing the links to other hubs using my referral tracker. For newbies, it can be found at the bottom of each hubpage. This is earning me a little extra money. I don't spam, but share the links that I know my friends would like.Now that Google traffic is down, I figure this helps me,...

Hello,I've been on hubpages for about a week. There is only traffic from hubpages and mturk on my traffic tab. How long will it before I start to get traffic from google. All of my articles are featured and I don't want to lose it from lack of google traffic. Thanks!
