Thanks Sam – yes I used to look for real figures myself – and there are precious few out there – which is why I started publishing them.

Hey Lis, thanks for sharing real figures with us all. If you can do some more link building I guess you’d expect your hubs to move up the search engines and the $14 you earned from one account could turn into $140! That wouldnt be bad at all! Well done and thanks for the sharing all the details of the challenge – this inspires me to get of my a*s and do some work!

I love the passive income I get from sites like Hubpages and InfoBarrel. I recently started writing for another site called GlobeTales.com. They are a travel themed website, and give authors 100% Adsense revenue. (I think they make their money off InfoLinks, or maybe private ad sales). Since travel is such a high paying niche the CPC is pretty good. So far I have ten articles published and am averaging between $1.00-$1.50 a day in Adsense revenue. I’m thinking about doing 100 “Globe Tales” in 30 days challenge.

Hey Lis,
Congrats on making 62 hub pages – that takes real time and motivation (I’ve made about 14 over the space of 2 years and you’ve done 62 in 3 months!) In a task like the one youre undertaking I expect the link building to be the toughest part…but then when you consider the return on your investment of time and energy, its pretty easy to motivate yourself. I look forward to hearing how you get on with these hubs – good luck!

After reading all of the varied comments, I am going to have to get into Hubpages for a try myself. I am certainly curious now. Thanks Lis!

Lis,

I know hubpages but you still have to write content whatever crappy or good it is. Basically, once you start creating more than 10 pages your mind gets exhausted. If you have a way to find content easier and cheaper than it is probably worth. At the same time backlink building is another huge task itself. I think doing hub pages may be rewarding but return on the amount of work is far less compared to ppc or blogging on your own domain.

Let me know your views.

I think you need to find a fair balance to High Value/Competitive keywords when dealing with Adsense. Low competitive keywords might not have a high value in the search engine. They key is too finding something you can rank well in that provides a ton of value.

I don’t imagine that you are supposed to use the affiliate system at Hubpages for your own other logins – I haven’t tried to be honest. Yes hubpages is a numbers game first – then you still have to build the backlinks!
