Hello Hubbers!
I'm new to the site and have created my first Hub. I would appreciate your thoughts on content, delivery, etc...
I love to write so I expect to be publishing more soon. One of the things I've struggled with is trying to get some SEO value out of my articles without totally destroying the content; I really do want to provide beneficial information to the reader.
Any thoughts, advice, or even the harshest criticism you can level, will be appreciated!
Bob

This is a nice first hub. The content is great and very encouraging. I agree with the others in saying that it needs to be broken up a lot more. Break up the content into at least four text capsules instead of just two, and have headings for every capsule.
You also could do with a couple of more images or videos. A tasteful picture of someone in pajama pants might be funny.
Your survey is a nice touch, though, and as I said, the content itself is great! Welcome to Hubpages.
Great ideas! I can see now that it needs to be divided up in to sections, and that adding more visuals would help make it appealing. This awesome feedback from you guys is nice and much appreciated.
Welcome to Hubpages!
It has good length. It seems it could used a few more keywords.
I'll give you the same advice I give everyone else-
Read the FAQ's page and visit the Learning Center. Both can be helpful.

I looked at it but didn't read it. Plugging your own hubs in the Forums regardless of intent is against the rules.
Highlighting a first letter may look good in print in a book when it's done properly but it look amateurish here. Use bold to bring out important points and use more heading and sub headings. People don't read they scan.
Many hub writers take the time to write long hubs then fail to use headings to make them more readable.
Thanks Cagsil for the reply and links. I've been hitting the FAQs pages but there's a lot to learn here. I plugged Failure to Success a lot in the article since it's my main SEO keyword and website title, and was afraid to lean too much on other words. I'll study some of the top Hubs and see how they've distributed their Keywords.
Mike, I wouldn't have posted a link here and asked for feedback had HubPages not solicited me to. After I posted my Hub there was a link suggesting newbies publish their first Hub here in this specific forum (even making sure to point out that I should post a link to the Hub) asking for input. But thanks for the other critique. I highlighted the first letter of each paragraph because it's the answer to the problem of home business success- WORKING. I'll consider amending it though; I don't care to look amateurish.

This exclusive title became unfeatured recently. I changed the headings to more searchable headings and it went into pending - then to my shock it went back into unfeatured.What exactly is wrong with this article? Is it so bad that it cannot pass the Mturk...

For those who are no newbie to HUB Pages you probably share the same frustrations of working for hours on a hub only to be insulted with the friendly heads up message sending you back to a tutorial about writing rich content hubs. It's like were playing some type of hide and seek game to find...

I like helping people with their hubs. I've gotten to know the ins and outs and how it works. I know how to use the tools and other websites to drive your traffic. If you are new post hubs in here and I will get to each one of them to let you know what I think

I understand the issue with keeping algorithms proprietary and all, but it'd be nice to know more about why scores climb and fall, how people are chosen as "best," and so on. We have a lot of talented people on here. And, there is admittedly a lot of crap. But, without getting any...

I have recently written hub http://michalwrotter.hubpages.com/hub/P … n-of-2015. Could anyone from experienced hubbers give me a feedback about it please? It does not met the quality and I would like to know why.My personal opinion is: Must be the grammar issue or a picture layout.
