Hi, I just wanted to do a little survey to get to know how long and how much work does it takes to become successful on hubpages. I want people to give how much they made during the first month, how many pages published vs. How much they make now, and how many pages now. Example
Month 1
3.00
5 hub
Now:
15 dollar/month
60 hub
please also indicated how long have you been on hubpages
In the first year I think it took me about 60 hubs and 6 months to make $5. It started going up after that.
I have not written a hub on this account for almost a year, but my earnings are still increasing and I make a couple of hundred a month in a good month, from all affiliates.
I think it helps to write a lot of hubs but it many writers cases it is one or two hubs which can generate the most income out of their large selection. I write a lot in the hopes that I will get lucky and find one which ranks high and is popular again. Backlinking is also very important, something which requires extra time which I find hard but try to do.
I joined Hubpages in November 2010. There was no Hubpages Ad Program then, only Adsense, Amazon and eBay affiliates. I had Adsense and Amazon, no eBay.
First month: 30 hubs - 0000 earnings - I was new (still is) writing online, so my first hubs were like blogs. After the initial internal traffic, they all dropped dead in googleland.
Now: 105 hubs - I earn close to three hundred dollars a month. Most of my hubs were written during my first six months, and then I lost motivation. Why? It's a big rant, so I better write a hub about it.
It doesn't totally rely on how much you write, its also about backlinking and maintaining you position in the search rankings(therefore maintaining your traffic and conversions)

Fine, the forum has lots of people that claims they make thousands of dollars every month. I doubt 98% of them. From my experience, I may want to believe Ryankett because I've seen most of his backlinking works on various sites.If you make that much every month, voice it out and help breath...

My aim at hubpages is to earn an average of $500 or more per month in a years time. Right now I have 165 hubs and earn between $20-$30. I wanted to know if I can achieve my goal in a years time or less if I concentrate on keyword and good topic selection and don't do any backlinking.

Does anyone know the magic formula to increasing page views. Here is what I am looking at for averages over all of my accounts and hubs. Monthly Views: 17 Per HubAd Program Earnings Per Page view: .005 (half a penny)Adsense and Amazon Revenue: Negligible, not calculated. So, this means...

Just curious on how long it takes to make a profit on the site.

I saw backlinking as one. What exactly is backlinking? How can we use Google Webmaster Tools to improve traffic? What are the changes to be made in the crawl rate after logging in, if any? Its been close to three months into Hubpages and I am getting a majority of my views from Hubpages. My Google...
