5 Common Reasons Why Your Hubs Are Not Profitable
You made a couple of HubPages to test out the site. You wrote an article, posted a picture and now you are waiting. You are not making money on HubPages like you expected. You haven't earned more than ten cents, so you decide HubPages is just another scam. Really? You don't throw cake ingredients together and put it on the counter, right? No, of course not. You bake the ingredients, so that you can make a cake. Well, if you made a couple of Hubs and just stopped to wait for riches, you put your cake on the counter!
Read the following tips that will help you bring your hubs into profit. Don't start a project without finishing it. This is why so many people think that profitable sites like HubPages and GDI are scams. They never complete the entire process. So what are the steps you need to take to get you to a profitable place? Read on!
- You're not making enough Hubs! Do not make one hub and let it sit there all alone. Make several hubs on a similar topic. You want to cover as many aspects of the topic as usual. For example, if you wrote about rings, create hubs about wedding rings, promise rings, diamond rings, engagement rings, etc. Why? That takes us to reason number two!
- You're not linking your hubs to each other! More hubs means more places for the person to visit. Each hub has different info, with different adsense ads and (hopefully) more amazon/ebay products. You want to give your visitor more opportunities to find ads they want to click or products/services they want to purchase.
- You are not building links back to your site! How can you expect anyone to find your hub when the search engines can't even find you! Think of backlinks as a map to your site. Find the highest page rank social bookmarking sites, forums and directories to place your link to your hubs! It will make a huge difference!
- You are not using keywords correctly. You must use the keyword in the title and content of the hub you are creating. Search engines only know what you tell them. You must repeat the keyword (intelligently) within the content!
- You are not writing Hubs about profitable topics. A simple Google search on "highest paying keywords" will give you a list of the top 100 keywords. Those are the most profitable topics on the internet. If you want to write about the most profitable topics on HubPages, you will want to write about Hubs, personal finance or building links.
Implement the tips to tweak your existing hubs and to create new ones. You will see how your earnings will increase over time!

I've not created any hubs yet but will definitely look into this more closely. I will share this on twitter and facebook.
Hi Supermom,

I shall try to consider these tips while making my next hub. Thanks for sharing this great hub.
Thanks for these tips which I am going to try out. Bookmarked.
Love and peace
Tony
another great hub with many useful information. thank's
Again, I like your style - so easily understood, with specific things to do.
Great Hub, but I don't agree with the "top 100 most profitable keywords" part - to me, the profit depends on traffic and evergreen content.
Great tips. Im a new mom struggling in this economy hoping for some extra income. I just started my hub page, hope it works. Thanks for the info!
@talfonso
The profit depends on the advertising dollars coming in from companies. The more competitive the keyword, the more the click is worth. I have blogs in different niches. The blogs about debt consistently earn more per click than my blog about my faith and autism. That's just the way it is...
@jaylazmama
Remember, you need to write a lot of hubpages on a consistent pace. They should each focus on a specific topic. Link them to each other and use social media sites and bookmarking sites to create even more links. This will put you on the right path.
:)

Good hub with basic facts hubbers need to know. Back linking is so important and linking to your other hubs is a good way to generate traffic.
Voting up :)
Very informative, I must say. Shared with my followers.
Excellent hub with lots of great advice. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. BTW congrats on that great sale day :)
Right on... and saying that, I'll have so say I have not done all that you suggested.
A lot of hubbers say they are not that much interested in earning, they only want to"express themselves". But if your are expressing yourself and no one reads-- it's like that tree falling in the uninhabited forest. It may make a sound, but no one hears it. Readership matters.
@Rochelle Frank So true!
@the clean life Thanks. I hope to have many, many moree days just like that one. Just have to continue building hubs, Squidoo lenses and links...
@davenstan Thanks for sharing the info with your followers!

@rahul0324 Thank you.
G Miah Thank you. I hope you enjoy reading my other hubs as well.

Very good advice and tips. I have been on HubPages for 6 months now and should be getting my first check next month. It just takes a little patience and persistence. I find, the more I write, the more I make. I am just stubborn enough to make some money here! Great information, voted up and useful! :)
@sgbrown Thanks for joining the conversation. I ran an experiment and had the same results. If one can write at least one hub a day, traffic would rise steadily. Best of all, earnings increase as well! ;)
I guess I got the cake ingredients as far as the bowl and all mixed, now I need to put them in the oven! Good hub with good advice. Voted up.
