whats the best way to gain new followers and commentary? I am still fairly new to the hubpages, I am primarily a poet, but I also do other forms of writing as well...but any form of advice here would be great...thank you
Creative writing doesn't generally make good money online. Serious traffic comes from Google, and it's hard to get Google traffic to a poem without lots of work.
Maybe have a look at some of the more successful hubs on Hubpages for an idea of what works.
Could you give me an example of what works well? I'm open to trying any form of writing...I feel capable of it just need to know what kind of writing this is.
How to guides, information ... Answers to questions people type into Google. Evergreen content (avoid news and short trends.) avoid saturated topics like weight loss or how to make money from home.
Go to google and put in some keywords about books.Scroll down to the bottom and you will see related searches. These are what people are looking for. To give you an example, I looked at what the search for "fantasy books for children" gave me and at the bottom is a good idea for a Hub - "fantasy books for 4th graders."

How do you stay positive when your stats are down?I've been feeling very optimistic about hubpages, seeing fairly steady gains in views and money. But the last 2 days my growing google traffic has completely collapsed. It gives me a small taste of what hubbers who have come to expect income from it...

Why do some hubs mostly get Hubpages traffic and other hubs Google traffic?Why does this happen? It seems some hubs are more popular with Hubpages community, but don't get good traffic with Google, and some have barely any Hubpages views, but score good with Google.

I was sorry to see that this forum thread was closed to comments by HP:http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/78912#topThere was a lot of good information going back and forth there. It may be that some snipe stuff went on between commenters, but the topic is still valid.I'd like to see it continue.

I have been monitoring my traffic and it shows that I am receiving more traffic from Google. I am so happy because this can either convert in sales or clicks for me. I am loving this.. Here is a pic of my traffic in the last 24 hours which is in the first column..Traffic Comparison

If a hub is not featured does that mean that it doesn't get any search engine traffic from Google or other search engines?
