Hubpages is my personal favorite website on
the Internet, not only because I make good money from writing here but also
because there is a great community of writers who are always on hand to offer
advice and friendship when you need it.
The Hubpages staff are also a friendly
bunch and very approachable if you have a problem and they will always answer
any questions that you ask as soon as is physically possible for them.
I have been writing on Hubpages for over
seven years and in that time I have seen many changes to the site and the
layout, with these changes the Hubpages staff have kept the site up to date
with the latest web trends.
Hubpages is now not only a great site for
writers of all ilk’s but it is also a social meeting place for writers from all
around the world to communicate and keep in touch with each other.
The biggest change to Hubpages came when
Panda, Google’s Atom Bomb, hit the site with full force, almost every Hubber
lost views and earnings and for some it was the end of the road.
The staff made a lot of big changes to
Hubpages in an attempt to get the Google
love back and the changes are still being made to the site today and are
ongoing until a solution is found that works for Hubpages and of course the
search engines.
People seem to forget that if the authors
on Hubpages are losing money that Hubpages is making less money too, after all
40% of the revenue we lose comes out of their pockets too and that is why they
will try everything in their power to get Hubpages back to its full potential
and back into the top 100 websites in the world where it once was for a few
weeks.
I was lucky enough to be accepted on to the
Hubpages apprenticeship program and it has improved my writing and awareness of
the importance of keywords and Hub promotion.
My own Hub statistics are slowly rising
along with my earnings to the numbers I used to get before Panda and I am sure
that the changes made by Hubpages are responsible for the increase and I am
also sure that if we all stick it out for the long term we will all have a
massive increase that is even better than the pre Panda era.
I have been writing on Hubpages for almost
seven years and I love writing here, I have total faith that the staff will
find a way back to the top, it may take some time, but the long wait will pay
dividends to the Authors who stick it out.
