I have done what many of you said and tried to go through old postings and hubs for information. What I'm finding is that, old information. Yes, I have found some good stuff, but I'm looking for more.
I am looking for forums, questions and hubs with information that is as recent as possible. I keep reading about these PANDA updates and people losing residuals on their hubs. I have been away from hubpages for awhile, but I'm back. I don't want to doom myself, so how should I go about starting up again?
If you can direct me to some good links, I'll definitely check your stuff out and leave you some feedback. (if its good! lol)
Here are some subjects that I need help with;
SEO
Backlinking (is it still a good idea?)
Should you still use Digg and sites like that? How do you use them? How many times should you digg your hub, how often?
This whole PANDA/PENGUIN thing?
Keyword research
Hub layouts
Anything else you suggest?
I lost my job two years ago and started looking for ways to make money online. Hubpages came up, so I made 4 hubs. I then got a job, so I stopped. I am now unemployed again. I checked and my hubs were still there along with $6 in my adsense account. Yey! Thats more than I made in two years at my last job!
Is it still worth it to partner with Hubpages? I'm not doing it just for money, I have fun and enjoy writing as well.
Thanks!
I suggest you read the following sections,
http://hubpages.com/faq/
http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/contents
If you subscribe to the HubPages topical category, new threads will show up on your feed page and that makes it really easy to keep up with the latest discussions, developments and debates in regards to what is happening with the site, changes and various opinions and interpretations of what Google says.
You say you just love writing, so from that angle, you'll probably find writing here satisfying. If you are looking to replace a job you lost, you'll probably wind up homeless and starving before you create enough quality content to earn a living wage. If you had been building Hubs all along (over the last two years), you might have gotten to the point by now of having a moderate supplement alongside your unemployment benefits.

I am aware of all the tactics used, and the only practical ones are:-"Original" Content-Establishing Backlinks-Paying for trafficI'm not going to do the third.Some people get thousands of hits a day. I get like 50-100 a day if i'm lucky. What exactly is going on that i'm not doing? My...

Long, long ago, it was easy to write a hub. This is what I did:Spent two days producing 1500 words or so. Got the page about 80 percent right. Published it.After a couple of weeks, if the visitors started coming from the search engines, I would put in a few more hours editing and improving. The...

What are Back Links, Where Do I put Back Links, And What Use Are Backlinks...Here on Hub Pages I keep hearing about Backinks. Can You Explain What Are Back Links And Where Should I Add Them And What Purpose Do Back Links Serve ?

I am talking about best and worst scenarios. I have been through many posts on the forum and other places. From what I understand, you can hope to make (in the best case) about $1 per month per hub. So is that true for many of you? For instance, if I go berserk and post 1000 hubs (don't even ask me...

Don't let this happen to you.As most of you know my Mother is is failing health and I've been traveling a lot trying to take care of my Mom, spend as much time with her as possible and get back home for my kids, busy to say the least.Of my 302 hubs many of them have link capsules on them including...

I'm trying to understand RSS feeds. I think the capsule is a reader that aggreates feeds from other websites, but I'm not sure
