I have written another hub on the subject and got enormous hits.This new hub surpassed number of hits within 3 days that of previous ones.
I have linked all these hubs but can not understand why previous hubs do not get much hits.

First thing that I notice is that 90% of your products are not relevant to the hubs. For example, in part 1, I'm not sure how guitars are relevant to financing, in part 2 you've got laptops and other random ebay products, and in part 3 diamonds, amazon kindle, memory card, usb drives, luggages, and more random products.
Make your products relevant to what you're writing about. If you can't find any, then don't put any.
Also, I'd work out your layout a bit. Looking at part 2, you've got 1 sentence with a load of random products, then a HUGE capsule of texts with no breaks (ie pictures, videos, etc). I think that is because you used the actual URL and it doesn't wrap well, consider using the link insert, and have a text link to that hub. It'll wrap better.
The bold words are distracting to the page. I have a few hubs where I tried that, and I'm really wanting to find them and fix it. It's distracting and an eye-sore. I think it can be ok, I just wouldn't have every few words bold.
Also, having more precise titles may help. I see that part 3 is about wars affecting spendings, but i wouldn't have really gotten that from your title.
Hope that helps a little. :-)
Thanks for comments and suggessions but i can not understand how e-bay / Amazon products effect hits?
All of your advices are good but these will effect when a visitor comes to the hub? how will it effect before?
I have discussed reasons of financial problem on the whole that is why making 3 parts. War is only one of the reasons?
Should I put the article name related to war?
Will it work?
I put bold letters only few days back before it was normal.
I can not undrstand how to use link in place of original URL.
Thanks again for suggesions.
I was just saying in terms of your other thread about making money, having relevant products will help. Plus I noticed that the off products are affecting the google ads. I saw a number of diamond and ring ads on that one hub, which have nothing to do with finance.
In part 3, all that I read was about war. I wouldn't suggest titling it 'war', but maybe something relevant to war affecting finance. I don't know. Just a thought, that's all. I remember somewhere Paul or someone on the HP team saying it's not a good idea to be part 1, part 2, part 3, etc. for the title. I know that the first part of the title is different, but that's just another thought.
What do you mean? "Before it was normal"
When you insert a link, highlight the text where you want the link, click the chain link button on the menu of the text capsule, and past in the link. You can choose for the link to appear in the same browser or in a new browser. Then just click ok.
Personally, I've noticed that on average when the page is nicely laid out, and everything relevant, the traffic comes. I'm not sure if it's just my topics, or just coincidence. Plus, as for traffic, I want to venture a guess that finance is a large niche, which means when a person searches it, there are tons of options that come up in the search, which will affect your personal traffic being that there may be tons of other options to chose from in the search.
I am really obliged with your relevant suggesion. I have changed name of one of my hub. In place of problem I put crisis and traffic doubled. I can not find chain link tab.
Before this was normal means it was not bold.
Thanks,

So, you wrote three hubs full of ignorant, arrogant and condescending "advice" and now wonder why nobody wants to read them?
The 3 hubs you link to are basically generic and irrelevant advice. Whitney is correct that they are poorly focussed both with the advertising and the content. Basically there is a current news trend regardling the finance crises on wall street: check http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends if you want to hub on what people are searching for: wall st bail out, congress bill stands out as obvious key words to be targetting.
Whitney gets traffic because she writes well and writes on evergreen topics: the financial crises is bit at the moment but unless you can write compelling copy - and the evidence is that you cannot - I suggest you focus your efforts on a narrower topic: people don't search for "Americans are in financial problem" - they are far more likely to search something personal such as: how to save money
Yes, I have tried one with your advice . I have just published a hub.
Jyoti - this is more what Imeant see Dorsi/s thread http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/8244
she was probably picked up in google news because she used the exact pharse "700 billion bailout plan" being used by searchers
The chain link button is right next to the symbol button. if you see the bullet options, then the little faded arrow, horseshoe (symbols), and then a chain link. The chain link will not become clickable until you highlight the text.
Hopefully you will really consider making your products relevant. They are pretty intrusive as they are. You basically screaming "i'm trying to make money buy this diamond ring even though you want to read about finance," which can turn readers away pretty quick, which in turn looks bad upon your page to the search engines, and your page gets pushed further down the list, meaning less traffic. Making well designed pages that are relevant keeps people on the page because they're easier to read, which makes it look as though it's helpful, so those sites tend to get bumped in the searches.
Try writing a hub about diamonds and the process of turning a raw diamond into one that gets set to a ring, and then your diamond ring products would be relevant. Stick with finance books and CDs when you're writing about finance.
Dear Whitney,
Your sugessions have helped me a lot. Traffic to referred 3 sites have jumped. ( May be because of posting in the forum). I have already wrote some about diamond and jewelery. Right now I have tried with top 20 search words in internet
http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-search-word … -Americans
Thanks a lot again.

Your traffic jump is probably all HP traffic. You want to get search engine traffic. Since you already have the jewelry hubs leave the jewelry ads on them, and don't put them everywhere. Don't hub for money, hub about things you like and te money will come. Just because you use the words doesn't necessarily mean that your traffic will increase your content has to be good as well. And like I said, finance is a huge niche, and it's hard to compete. Write evergreen.
I am greatful to both of you. I do not write for money as I have stated many times that I am in real time business and owner of many offices. This is my hobby and I also want to exchange knowledge.
I try to follow advice and suggession from any one if think relevant. I think myself a student always.
Thanks a lot for valuable advice.
Jyoti its good to write. As you have written tht its your hobby to write on finance and know more about it. I also keep interest in financal matters. I am interested in commodity and stock market and news around regarding finanial ana eonomic matters. I have been researching on the down fall of the stock markets. And i have also ot the solutions on it.

I am not looking to name names here as this happens quite a lot on Hubpages, but can someone please clarify whether or not it is against the rules for a Hubber to come to your hub, leave a comment and then include a link to one of their own hubs as a part of that comment. I know it says under each...

Authoring Hubs is about sharing and spreading ideas. Most of what we do is word-based, and a capsule to show off related Zazzle stuff would be an eye-catching way to allow readers interested in those ideas to buy products which celebrate them, such as relevant designs, graphics, statements,...

I really do need some help to remedy this.All that was done was to change the Kindle price of my book from $3.99 to $4.99. One digit and my page is DOWN.For that, the hub page - which has over 400,000 page views so far and sometimes gets several hundred visits a day - is now off line for probably...

I had a hub that was receiving around 1,300-1,500 views per day. It was chosen as Editor's Choice. It then dropped by about 1,000 views per day. I opted out of the program, but that hub is no longer showing in Google for the keywords that brought it all the traffic before EC messed it up. How can I...
