I am constantly being told to write with both quantity and quality in mind, but even with my 21 hubs, I am still only receiving anywhere from 10 to 25 views a day. I would have thought that if I wrote more, I would earn more, but I am really not seeing anything change from when I had a mere 10 hubs. Does quantity matter? or is quality where you should focus?
I'm not sure anymore that hub viewing figures do improve with time. My hubs that got 10- 20 views a day this time last year, are still getting 10 - 20 views a day.
My hubs that got 0 - 2 are still getting 0 - 2 a day.
The hubs I have that do OK, did OK from the day of publication, and they were keyword orientated in areas of high search, and pretty high competition. Guess they just hit lucky.
Focus on quality before quantity. Quantity of Quality is your best option.
Not to mention, it might be helpful to do "keyword" research on topics which you are writing on. You could be writing inside someone's niche, who has great quality and getting views will be difficult without some type of advertising/promotion of your work.
You could also be writing about things people are not searching for? I don't know, but is possible.
Just a thought.
On a side thought- if you haven't visited the Learning Center, then this might be a good time to check it out. I've provided the link below.

Thank You, that is an awesome answer! I had no idea there was a learning center. I'll definitely spend an hour looking that place over before I decide to write another hub.
Thanks again!
hi smanty
2 things
I had a quick look at your hubs. They are well written, from what I saw. Your problem more likely lies with SEO and promotion therefore. My suggestion might be to try something a little different with your titles. Having a short, 4 word title can be difficult to rank in the post-panda world when you have competition. What about trying to expand your titles to 7 or 8 words and fitting in more keywords, or getting longer keyword phrases into the titles?
Secondly, I wrote a hub recently that gives links to my 5 recommended hubpages guides written by hubbers (they helped me a lot), which will complement the stuff in the HP learning centre.
Hope this helps.
I would consider 10 - 25 views per day as excellent. My hubs go for days without even a single viewing. All I see is 0 views for every hub. So, I sometimes delete them, only to republish them later, hoping that they will appear as a new hub and therefore might attract some views for a brief time.
Be patient with yourself, and get more involved in the Hub community.
I just checked your article, "How unique are we?". It is very interesting, but perhaps the title does not do it justice. Genealogy and mysticism are very popular topics...I'm not talking about SEOs. Anyhow, it's just a thought I wanted to share with you that revisiting the title might help. Also I would have liked to hear more about that church and what they do; never heard of it before . Good luck to you and keep on writing.
Yes, work is good. Title and tags won't get you any views, Muld. You need to work on keywords, or your situation won't improve imho
IMHO an average of 1 to 2 views per hub per day is not unusual.
i write my hubs in ms word. i save them so i know what i wrote about last so i don't overpost. try searching and see what comes up. write about that.
Hubs take time to mature and bring in the traffic even if you SEO them .. patience is the key and SEO is your answer.
Use the Google External Keyword tool to figure out what people are searching for. Use the option to figure out phrase and exact matches apart from the broad category - those will help you come up with more precise titles that may end up highly ranked in a search engine. Hope that helps.
I think your problem similiar as my posting, until now my traffic is still limit
I agree with Paul. I think keywords is the key. I'm new here and I need all the help I can get.
For non-SEO material one or two views a day is pretty normal IMHO.

Is the growth sustainable? When I arrived 4 months ago, we had 400,000 hubs. What is it now, 500,000? Does this site really benefit from people writing almost identical hubs on the same topics?When somebody arrives they are told to write, write, write, write. 30 in 30 basically. I am being a little...

Having been on HP now for more than four years while kinda' inactive for the last two I am looking more closely. I have cleaned up my portfolio from over 100 hubs with low views to now about 10. I had a lean of writing more for self than as a business venture seeking a niche. Now, I am looking more...

How Many visitors do you get in one day on your hubs if you have written approx 150?The reason why I ask is that I have seen so many people on the forums stating they have at least 1000 a day. This is fine but they only have 22 hubs! is it just me, or am I missing something? perhaps my hubs are...

I have had the lowest earnings from since the time I first made anything on HubPages as of late. I took a look through the forum and couldn't find reference to others having the same problem. What I'd usually make in one day, all of a sudden it is taking me a week to make. Is anyone else getting...

Hello all!This is my first post in the forums, so a little FYI on that one! I've read ALOT over the past week or so regarding hubpages and SEO, traffic methods, earnings blah, blah, blah...I am by no means impatient! But, I was wondering if anyone out there could share their experience with...
