Thanks for the great story. I only have 2 hubpages up and haven’t made a dime yet, but I am excited about the potential. I am returning to college soon and I have found it also helping to improve my overall writing skills.

Hubpages are faster to index and rank than your own sites. They are free. I find them useful money earners and a quick way to test out a niche – if I can’t rank a hub I’ll have big problems ranking my own sites.

Thanks for that! And well done on the earnings. I’ve made payout three months in a row now which I’m happy with, considering I’m one of those who “only write a hub when I’m inspired”! Though I know that’s not quite what you mean – I’m not in the “I should be able to write about anything I want and still earn money” camp.

Its not Court or Vic saying. Court was specifically asked at a recent webinar in the keyword academy – he said he couldn’t see it happening because basically Hubpages was still providing lots of pages which are of value to the visitor. Its speculation and I think its a bit of the “it works too well it will break soon” mentality which many people have on the Internet. Maybe it will maybe it won’t while they have been speculating I have made over $600 from HP this month I can’t see a slap happening despite the comments in the HP forums I see absolutely no evidence that the quality of the latest hubs page is any worse than it was a year ago – if anything somewhat better I think!

Hubpages has a great algorithm for keeping the crap at the bottom and Court is advocating an entirely legit method of making money. I’m glad that people are making money from it and and I don’t mind subsidising the “I only write a hub when I am inspired crowd” at all – but I’m not answering any more questions about why they only made $1.30 last month LOL

Lissie, I’ve been following various links in your blogs and Hubs and keep coming across people (Court? Vic?) saying they’re just waiting for HubPages to get a big “Google slap” but I can’t find anything to suggest why??

Hi,
I’ve been following TKA’s hubpages experiment with interest and actually sat down at the weekend to read through the Hubpages guide and set about by first hub. I came across your site during my reading and whereas I’d resisted paying the $1 (why? who knows) I think I may now as the keyword research seems key and any useful insights to push me in the right direction are always welcome. Here’s hoping I can join you all in making a bit of money from Hubpages!
Cheers, Chloe

I doubt the admins would be bothering to look at your incoming link profile – there is only one of them who does all the quality control! I usually give a hub a month just for Google to be comfortable before I up the link building – but I don’t know that it matters that much – certainly safer than doing it on new site!

@Archie I must admit the give money to charity was what put me off Squidoo initially – I prefer to make my own decisions on how I spend my money – I dont find Squidoo’s rev share very transparent.
Oh and don’t build one huge hub – build 100 smaller ones!

MakingAMillionDollars – I almost deleted your comment but it was a more literate attempt at spamming so I thought I’d leave it as an object lesson for those new to blogging who think all comments are useful I particularly enjoyed how you toned down the “last year I got a Porsche and a high class blond hooker” bio to something that was almost believable.

Do yourself a huge favour – stop treating your customers as idiots and actually learn how to add value to their businesses – then oddy enough you to may make some money too!
