Keyword Help!
Welcome to HubPages
First of all, you are only 5 days old on HP. Give yourself a break and don't be so hard on yourself. Also, there's no such thing as a overnight sensation. We all started in the same place. Traffic takes time to build. Continue with the joining sites and build awareness of your HP site. You've got good articles.NC: One of your problems is that your titles are way too common and thus have a ton of competition. First instance, you have one Hub called simply "Bike Trip". Google coughs up 326 million results for that keyword phrase, and an allintitle: search turns up 365,000 other pages with those words in the title. You're going to have trouble getting traffic for those keywords. Read up on long-tail keywords and how to pick phrases that have less competition.
Also, what Dame Scribe said. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a learning process.
