Every website has a homepage. Our homepage is our profile page. Would it not improve our page rank and overall traffic to promote our homepage as well by adding our social networks.? How about adding the Facebook and Google+ buttons to the homepage/profile page so we can promote our entire website-sub-domain instead of only individual hubs?
Why is HP reluctant to re-instate the Google+ button when it is known to improve Goggle ranking? It is recommended that your site's homepage contain your social feeds.
The Google search team says that the +1 has no effect on rankings at all. I think otherwise, but that's what they say.
I think it does but Google is playing hardball. Nice to see you Brandon
Haha thanks. I keep checking the forums only reply to people I know these days. Yeah my traffic is going up and down. A plus 1 button would definitely help no harm adding it. Load times don't increase that much.
Cardisa, those links are available to include on our profile pages. Do you mean something different? I see both Facebook and Google+ on your profile page.
Hi Rebekah, I am not talking about links to our FB profile pages. I am talking about the like or share buttons.
Yes, I thought that's probably what you meant once I posted. Those features used to be at the bottom of our hubs quite a while ago.
I guess they figure that not many people would share a profile page, which is probably true.
It's not appropriate to add your profile page to Facebook or Google+ more than once, so you don't need a button to do that.
I completely agree with Cardisa, Google+ button is necessary.
I also noticed that Hubpages is in black list of Wikipedia.. I guess because of spamming it with links? .... or not?
Really? I had no idea that Wiki blacklisted them. But I doubt that will affect their rankings.
Wikipedia blacklists most user-generated content sites, because so many users abuse the ability to add links.

I know that you can choose to display your idle hubs on your profile page, but I don't, because I don't want Google to see them at all and get confused by all those "do not follow." What this means is that my idle hubs are not available for anyone to see, and I have to actively...

I experienced a drop in earnings early in the year. As I've been here for eight years, I didn't worry about it, usually it stabilizes by Spring. But now it's April, and I am making about one third of what I was making a year ago, a huge disappointment.I have 142 articles and all of them have been...

Hi I spent an hour researching online but no one seems to have the answer. On other sites I've been able to post my articles via URL on my Facebook FAN page with the picture, text popping up, but not HUB articles. No problem posting to my FB profile. But with my fan page it comes up with just...

This is not so much for discussion, rather, I need an immediate help from any experienced Hubbers. I am a new member and have just posted my first Hub. I am ready to share with friends, but there is no Follow button on my profile page. Instead I see Edit Profile where Follow button should be. I...
