Nice tips Susana, I've learned so much on these forums.
Hi thank you! I googled this earlier and got that moz website link. I didn't know if I should use it because its SEO for websites, but ill read through it anyways
You're welcome Some of the Moz article won't be relevant but a lot will. Just pick out the bits you can use and try them out (you'll learn most by doing).
The Copyblogger website is also a great resource on the ins and outs of writing for a web audience..
Try using the Google Adwords Keywrod Tool. I would give you a tutorial in this post, but I have written a complete tutorial in my ten thousand views hub, there are many other hubs too.

I'm having an issue deciding what keywords to go after. Most of the lower competition words I'm not as interested in and it takes me longer to write since I'm not enjoying. But, most of the things I'm very interested in are harder to rank for but I can pump out hubs on those subjust easily. So, do...

Hi,I have been a member of Hubpages for a while. I have a bunch of hubs, published on various accounts, and since the Google slap, have noticed that my hub views, which weren't all that great before, have now dropped to almost nothing. On average, I seem to be getting about 1/2 a view a day per...
