Would you still Hub if Google bought Hubpages?
Or do they already own it, I'm having a hard time keeping up with what's NOT owned by Google nowadays...
They might not own it yet, but they certainly have found a way to benefit from it as well! I love google, I have always supported the company, I would still write if they bought hubpages.
Why not? certainly i will hub like most people blog at blogger.com.
Unless there will be restrictions setup by Google, which may be considered unreasonable, I will continue to write, when I can, irrespective of who the owner is.
Well as of now Google has not bought Hubpages. In the future I will keep posting hubs no matter whether Google bought Hubpages or not.
Google is actually a robot sent from the future to enslave the human race. Buying out the internet is only the first step...but I digress. Google is a pretty cool company and I don't see much changing with them at the head. So yes, I would.
Yes, I guess it would be more beneficial for most of the hubbers and to the advertisers out there.

I have made a similar post a while ago, but I still haven't been able to find a solution to this problem. All of my hubs are currently featured and always have been. I have 6 poems, 3 short stories, and 29 non-fiction articles. Many of them are on topics I wouldn't consider...

I have encountered a very poorly written hub, the spelling and grammar was bad and the sentences were incomprehensible. The hub has less than 300 words in total including the title (268 words exactly) and has more than 15 none-English words. I had to check the hubber profile; the hubber has 12...

If you find that a Hubpage is outranking your hub or website, never fear! Its really easy to defeat your competition and get that much wanted boost in serps.First you can try flagging - if it doesnt work the first time dont worry if you keep trying hard enough you can find some reason to get it...

We all want hubpages to be full of hubs that are informative, containing facts, well-researched observations, or personal insights in various areas. Yet some of the most popular hubs are, frankly, JUNK, IMHO. Here's one, again, IMHO:http://hubpages.com/hub/iPhone-5-ReviewSince iPhone 5 doesn't...

I thought if a hubpage was listed in Google search it was featured. But apparently that is not the truth. I guess I will keep the hubs up and run my own check on them.
