		<description><![CDATA[On the 19th of September 2007 I published my first hub &#8211; it was short, it was self-promotional &#8211; the url was wrong  for SEO. Over 3 years it has gained a total of 1143 page views &#8211; almost all of which are from search engines. It may have made me some money &#8211; I doubt it &#8211; but I don&#8217;t know, I didn&#8217;t track that hub The hub was about midlife travel. That month my total online income was  $1.98 One of my most recent hubs was about the chances of a Wellington earthquake . It was indexed within a few hours &#8211; I expect it will have PR on the next update &#8211; I&#8217;ve built no links to it.  In August my online income from passive sources was $1600. When I started on Hubpages &#8211; I had two  sites &#8211; I had made next to nothing (like less than $10 nothing) &#8211; I was newly a full-time &#8220;Internet Marketer&#8221; and I was going to making a good income my Xmas&#8230; This was long,  long before Keyword Academy, I don&#8217;t think I would have survived long enough to get to The Keyword Academy &#8211; if it hadn&#8217;t been for HubPages What HubPages [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As most of you probably already know I have been on Hubpages for a very long time &#8211; it will be three years in October actually.  I knew Hubpages very well, I liked the site, the community and my ability to publish there &#8211; I thought it was an adjunct to my &#8220;real&#8221; money sites.  I was wrong. Over that time I saw it more as a hobby than serious online money making. In fact hubpages has earned me thousands of dollars  -indirectly &#8211; by getting me several freelance writing gigs &#8211; but I&#8217;m not talking about that. I also used hubpages to jump start this blog as my earliest readers were fans who followed me over from hubpages &#8211; thanks guys. Its a good place to build &#8220;a brand&#8221; &#8211; but I don&#8217;t mean that either. I knew hubpages was great for backinks &#8211; I have PR4 and PR3 pages there and they were easy to get. I knew I could make some income on HubPages  &#8211; April was a good month it was the first month I hit over $100 in Adsense &#8211; from hubpages alone. But I didn&#8217;t realise you could make serious money on hubpages -  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah not sure I can be creative on the titles on this hubpages challenge series people! I might stick with the same nice graphic for consistency and see what I can do with the titles tag. Over at Infobarrel I finally got my 3 long articles about online business models published and now have 19 of the required points for May. Back at HubPages &#8211; backlash time! No &#8211; not for Google &#8211; hubs still being indexed inside 24hours &#8211; but some of the &#8220;regulars&#8221; are a bit upset about all this hubtivity and lots of mail as the people they are fans of publish new hubs! Yeah right people get over yourselves &#8211; most of them haven&#8217;t been there as long as I have either. In fact I&#8217;ve seen some old timers who had been quiet for a while come in from the cold &#8211; like Mark Knowles. Its interesting that people react in this way &#8211; to a &#8220;challenge&#8221; that in no ways affects them &#8211; unless they chose to participate. Quite frankly I can totally understand people who don&#8217;t have time to participate  because the a) use hubpages for fun not an income and b) have other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK so this whole 100 hubs in 30 days game  has been on for a whole day and I thought I might actually go daily on Passive Income just to keep you all up to speed! And to persuade Google that this blog really is about earning passive income online too. Now I note about times &#8211; its an issue on the Internet &#8211; your Monday being my Tuesday basically &#8211; so I am going to post every morning with the stats for the previous day which I think is actually early evening in the US &#8211; whatever. Day 1: New identity created &#8211; its been lying around for about 6 months I deleted some duplicate content hubs and the  authorsore dropped to 18 &#8211; that&#8217;s a new low for me! I ordered 24 articles from cyberquest and published 3 hubs, covering 2 niches. Initially I am only going post 3 hubs a day preferably over 3 niches so that I can let the profile grow naturally. If I see a decent hubscore jump to the 80s then I will increase my rate of publishing I need around 15 hubs to get hubs grouped by topic on my profile page. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK so not a day after I write about diversifying to other Web 2.0 article sites and review  InfoBarrel the great Hubpage challenge blows up all over the Internet. If you have been asleep under a rock and not paying attention it went like the: Court decided to have a new money making experiment: 100 hubs in 30 days. Well Hubpage&#8217;s marketing guy Ryan Hupfer noticed this (btw if you are wondering how this sort of thing happens &#8211; I have 2 words for you &#8220;google alerts&#8221; a great way to know what people are saying about you!). Long story short we now have The Great Hub Challenge: Actually I am crazier than that because  I also want to get to earn 30 points in the May InfoBarrel promotion which will increase my Adsense share there to 90% for June. A little over a year I was part of a contest on HubPages which basically meant writing as many hubs as possible on a daily given topic. It was a good way to just get stuff out there &#8211; and some of those hubs make me money to  this day &#8211; some &#8211; I didn&#8217;t know what I was doing. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I occasionally get the comment that I shouldn&#8217;t publish all my better content on sites I don&#8217;t own or control. The comment came up again on HubPages where I was told again that I was basically wasting my time publishing there. Well its true at one level: the actual direct income I make from Adsense/Kontera/eBay/Amazon revenue sharing pays for my hosting: but that&#8217;s about it!. No the effect of Hubpages is more subtle than that. I have readers who actually read what I post there. That said my best ever hub in terms of views by hubpages readers is this one high-lighting some sexy pictures of Nicole Kidman. I have a theory on this. As an exclusively English language site HubPages has a quite a number of Indian authors. India still has tight censorship laws which probably block most of the X-rated sites which are prevelent across the internet. HubPages bans &#8220;adult&#8221; hubs but their interpretation is the same as Adsense&#8217;s that is the odd American view of sex which bans (female) nipples but wet transparent clothing is fine. I don&#8217;t know for sure but I know that I have had over 200 views a day for weeks at a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I struggle as to where I should publish. I guess I am not a pure internet marketer because sometimes I just have to write about a topic! This weekend its been around the subject of making money on-line. Yes I know its idiotic to try and rank for that term. Yes I know I run the risk of just repeating the same old. I still had to try. So I did and you know I think it came out all right. There is nothing original per se. I am following the big three as usual as detailed in my original Internet Marketing and Hubpages article. In the end I ended up publishing not one but two hubs, over 3600 words for goodness sake! On a revenue site that I only get 60% of the Adsense, Amazon, eBay, Kontera impressions &#8211; why did I do that. Well two simple reasons really: I&#8217;m starting to see more and more new people arriving at HubPages, publishing a couple of hubs and then going to the forums and asking what&#8217;s wrong I only made 5c in Adsense! I can see this trend continuing. HubPages seems to be winning the race with Squidoo and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been focusing very much on learning a whole lot more about SEO and winning the Google game to get myself ranked. One of the &#8220;light-bulb&#8221; moments I had as that content isn&#8217;t king and writing good content is not, in its self, enough to make you money from your own sites. Another of those &#8220;oh God its obvious now&#8221; is that content is important: but not so much own your own site or your target money maker. Instead your best content should actually be in guest blogs, or articles or hubs or lenses that you write elsewhere. Why? Because these backlinks sites serve too purposes: to get backlinks; to drive targeted traffic to your site. Now sites such as Quassia basically provide just a backlink, no traffic. However sites such as ezinearticles or hubpages can provide qualified traffic looking for whatever you are selling.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess I am only just starting to learn the fine art of earning passive income online. One of the blind spots I had for a long time was that &#8220;content is king&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;write good stuff and they will come&#8221;. Well actually: they won&#8217;t, and in fact even when they do they may only make you 7c / day which is not going to see you retire in style any time soon. There is only one  way for the bulk of your potential audience to find you: that is Google. Yes there are other search engines Yahoo probably sends me 5% of what Google does and MSN about 5 (no not % just 5 ). But Google is king of the search engines You see Google don&#8217;t find your wonderful hub or article or website or blog by accident. It certainly doesn&#8217;t decide to put your site on the first page of results except for some very specific reasons. Google needs your content. Try this type &#8220;lis sowerbutts&#8221; &#8211; without the quotes into Google what comes back &#8211; this site normally ranks #1. At the moment in the Australian data centre of Google I rank #1 and #2 of [...]]]></description>
