I believe the earlier post by 'tools' was just slightly 'tongue in cheek'.
Here is a serious reply. I've been here 4 years and am an expert is SEO and keyword optimisation. What works best is constantly evolving and post Panda everything has changed dramatically.
My hot tip for the next few months is 'Kittens'. Kittens is a highly under valued niche, particularly if heavily illustrated with cute pictures and videos. It is best to go for the long tail (no not the kitten silly). 'Long Tail' is an important SEO concept.
Keyword phrases such as 'cute kitten in basket' or 'kitten swimming in bath' are red hot winners and will make you a tidy sum as well as being 'popular'. Note the kittens should look happy. If the bath kitten appears to be drowning you could be banned by Google.
Incidentally, hot, naked women also perform very well but unfortunately HubPages and Google have a problem with this so better stick with those cute kittens.
Yep! Cute and cuddly kittens always sucks in an audience :-)
But don't try bob cats either because don't forget we are trying for long tails
Put unique content and make active on hub always . If you make a hub and after making hub, you do not visit again on your hub then waste your time on hubpages . If you want to popular on hub then fallow other hubs and discuss about hub on regular basis.
I hope your hub would be popular automatically.
how to make hub popular:
-write unique content, think of what people are searching for on google.
- use long key words in your titles & articles
-comment or vote up on other hubber, hubs - most of the time a hubber will replicate.
- try twitting or Facebook your own articles once month.
- sign up with ReGage, Digg or other bookmarking website.

I am starting to learn how to social bookmark. I've been doing it on twitter, facebook, igoogle, digg, delicious, diigo, my blogs, pingomatic and a few other places. I have only been doing it on some of these sites for the last four or five days. It probably takes a while to see...

I have been on hubpages for two months. I have read multiple articles on SEO and backlinking. Ninety percent of my hubs do not have backlinking. But I choose for a while to say no backlinking. It was "different" I thought and "original". ...

One thing that I've noticed in my traffic stats is that one particular hub about a particular acoustic guitar - seems to be doing better than other hubs about what I would think would be guitars that are more sought after.So I looked at the hub that is doing so well, and tried to figure out why...

I've been on here for a few years, and I guess I never really understood the point of these scores. They don't seem to provide any real value to the user and I can't convince myself that they add value because they fluctuate so much.What's the point? Am I supposed to use these scores to tell me...

Does anyone have any definitive information on this as the SEO advice is rather mixed.Some say that googlebot looks for keywords in the first sentence. It also relates to the text displayed on the SERP. Of course there may be negatives in terms of keyword stuffing and 'gaming'. I have noticed that...

In their teachings on writing stellar hubs, the HubPages staff has sometimes said that an ideal hub is 1,500 words long and has sometimes said that an ideal hub is 1,150 words long. Numerous hubs by hubbers on hubbing have recommended that a hub should be at least circa 400 to 500 words long, at...
