As you may or may not know, I write on HubPages. Doing this allows me to make a teeny, tiny bit of AdSense income while allowing me to write on a variety of topics that interest me. It is likely that I have more hubs that are in the works than actual published hubs, but out of this handful of published hubs I have a few top performers. These hubs either draw a significant amount of traffic, comments, or are ones that are my favorites. These are all over the board topic-wise, so you're in for a ride!
One of my most controversial hubs is on
meta tag optimization. While I cite that the hub is an historic piece, I do get comments from time to time saying that meta tag optimization is out-dated. Google currently does not use meta tags in weighing a web site in the search engines, they still can be helpful in making a Google search result look nicer. Also, there are a few search engines that still do use meta tags, so it's not something that is bad for SEO.
Perhaps one of my favorite hubs of mine is the one on
Polish food. Being Polish, this hub was fairly easy to write. I get hungry every time I read it. I actually wrote this hub for a HubPages contest on Eastern European food and won. Interestingly enough, Poland is a part of Central Europe and not considered a part of Eastern Europe. I was happy to win, so I won't argue it. This is one of two hubs that I've written that have won HubPages contests.
My hub on
French Citizenship was, at one time, one of my most popular hubs. I removed the hub and moved it to a blog. I later decided that I did not want to spend the time marketing individual blogs so I moved it back to HubPages. The SEO effort on it was devastating, but the hub has recently found a resurgence in popularity and is actually more popular than before I removed it.
Another hub on Poland! I wrote a hub on
Poland travel and it hasn't had its success story yet, but I'm working on it. I definitely love this hub as it has some beautiful descriptions on different areas of Poland with pictures. This one is a work in progress as one may notice from the url slug vs the actual title of the hub, but it'll get there. Maybe it'll get it's glory then, eh?
My most popular SEO hub is probably the one on common
SEO mistakes. I think as a lot of fellow Hubbers use SEO as a way to bring more traffic to their hubs, it has become popular among the "local" crowd. It has yet to gain popularity in the search engines, but I really have yet to market some of my hubs.
I love food hubs and I love
dutch baby pancakes, so I created this hub. It was first started for a hub contest and I was pleasantly surprised that it won. It was the first hub contest I'd won so I was definitely really proud of this accomplishment. This hub has not yet gained much popularity in the search engines, but it is still a newer page so Google naturally won't weigh it as heavily.
Do you use HubPages? You should!
October is a breast cancer awareness month and because of this, this week's HubPage's HubMob theme is breast cancer. I have never before taken part in the HubMob hub writing, but I think this is a great place to start. Those of you that know me also know that I am at risk for both breast and ovarian cancer. My grandmother, Aurelia, died in 1963 after a long battle with both breast and ovarian cancer. This is why I decided this would be a great time to start being a part of the HubMob. I've decided not to go the route of "Signs You Might Have..." or "Breast Cancer Prognosis." Instead I decided to write one on how to raise funds for breast cancer... for those who want to support the cause and wish to find out ways in which they can help. Stay tuned and I will post a link to the hub once completed.
