Update: If you are not using HubPages you should: How to Sign Up for HubPages
I am getting traffic with ZERO SEO effort and making money! Ride the PR of HubPages and focus on content.
I’ve been experimenting with Hubpages and affiliate opportunity. I’ve created a bunch of HubPages on different accounts. I am getting a lot of Yahoo traffic that seems to be converting okay.
I have done ZERO, yep ZERO SEO for these hubs. I want to see how much traffic they can pull on their own with no linking effort on my part.
In a couple of weeks I’m going to create a few more hubs and then link back to those pages from external sources with the Hubpage URL. I haven’t decided if I will focus on my profile page or the article page.
For now if you want to drop a link here on this page… USE YOUR KEYWORDS not your name in the NAME FIELD and your HUBPAGES URL in the website field.
I’m going to try and determine a bit more why Yahoo like Hubpages so much more than Squidoo.
Tip: One “trick” I’ve been using on the article titles is to go to the Adword’s Keyword Tool and pick an exact long tail search phrase to use as my Title for the Article, then I’m including the EXACT phrase in the article another couple of times.

Thanks for the post on the WF.
Admin: I removed your URL on this comment because the intent of comments on this page… as mentioned in the post… is to use HubPages URLs in the Comment Field and Keywords in the Name Field.
From what I’ve seen, places like hubpages encourage good onpage seo (titles for sections are larger and likely will contain some of your keywords, they want you to limit the number of links to a specific site, poor scoring hubs become nofollow and the scoring system seems to help reinforce staying on topic.) and through tagging you can get some inbound links from the hubpages site. I know inbound links from the same site aren’t golden, but they do help a fair amount and they’ll have the title of your article as the anchor anyway.
Thanks, this is exactly the type of comment I’m looking for… hopefully it will boost your hub a teeny bit more and send you a little more traffic.
Hubpages is great specially when you are just starting out to learn how to earn online. Hubpages is spidered frequently so you know that the pages you create will get found by the search engines soon enough. When writing a hub, concentrate on finding a profitable topic and don’t worry about promotion when you’re just starting. Soon you’ll see a trickle of earnings. The trickles will turn into real income if you just keep at it.
Thanks for the idea. Lets wait and see the outcome
Great idea. Let’s see what happens.
Interested to see how the experiment works out. Thanks!
A great idea. I’m looking forward to reading the results.
One more — great idea and thanks so much. Happy holidays!
Look forward to checking out the results, too, thanks for the invite on the Warrior forum
Ditto – -and please pass that Christmas sherry – - or egg nog
Interesting concept. My hubs always seem to get smashed by Yahoo traffic where as its tumbleweed city for Google.
good luck with your project
