Taxes for Home Based Business

Why is everyone blaming Hubpages for something we are responsible for

Let me preface this by stating I am not trying to be mean or a troll. In fact, I avoid the forums because I don’t want to get involved. But with so many posts about the topics I’m about to discuss, I wanted to put in my two cents and to offer cheap moncler jackets mens a reality check to old and new hubbers alike.

Featured Hubs So many people complaining that their hub isn’t featured. That they will switch to another site, take their content elsewhere, etc. Well you know what? Your hub isn’t featured because it isn’t good. That’s the reality of it. Keep in mind this isn’t your site, It’s HP’s site. If you want your content moncler outlet sale elsewhere, then go start a blog. But otherwise don’t complain about it. Hubs with engaging content, pictures, interaction, etc. will be featured. I have poetry that is featured. It’s not all that hard. If your hub isn’t featured, then obviously you are doing something wrong. I’ve seen bad hubs on here. I’ve seen moncler usa hubs of those who complain that none of their hubs are featured. You know what? Good! I don’t want the poor content to outshine content I worked hard on.

Take a look at my hubs. I worked on each one to make them engaging and uk moncler outlet thought out. They could still use work, but they are featured. Also, most of my hubs are part of the Editor’s Choice program. Have I seen my hits rise or fall since then? They honestly haven’t changed. So what? It’s MY responsibility to get the hits in. It’s not HP’s responsibility. So it’s YOUR responsibility to make your hub featured.

Traffic and/or Profits Falling cheap moncler coats mens Guess what? It’s HP’s website, it’s Google’s ads. They can pay us how they see fit. Sure, I want moncler sale online more moncler womens jackets money, but if the traffic isn’t coming in and changes are made, there is no use complaining about it. If I don’t like the money coming in, I can take my content elsewhere. HP or Goggle is not obligated to give us anything. Sure, we write content for them, but there was never a promise of money. cheap moncler sale None.

You want more money? Then start a blog, go to work, etc. Better yet, stop complaining about it and go write some hubs! It’s like complaining about a government. Everyone complains about the politicians, but no one does anything about it. So do something about it and write some more. Otherwise, stop complaining. Some of the hubbers who want to talk and make this site grow are probably sick moncler outlet prices of it.

So, there is my two cents. Sure I’ll get flamed, which is fine. I’m just sick of seeing post after post of everyone blaming HP for moncler uk outlet problems, when the problems are our own.

You cheap moncler jackets womens won’t get flames from me. I agree with you for the most part.

While uk moncler sale I do agree some good hubs get swept up in the processes used to purge the less than stellar ones, I definitely believe that unfeatured hubs have much room for improvement. Heck, I have featured moncler sale outlet hubs that I go back and improve on. Writing is something that you always have to work at and there is always room for improvement.

I would also add to the people who complain about the changes around here, that while change is upsetting and understandable, at least it is a sign that HubPages is trying to stay competitive and trying to make a comeback. Google Panda was brutal it moncler outlet store hit a lot of websites, including a couple of my own, so I understand that frustration of having to go back, rework, redo etc. to appease Google to get my https://www.cheapmoncler.com traffic back up. It also sucks because it isn’t like Google gives you a simple explanation for what they want or how to do it. A lot of it is guesswork.

Every platform has its pros and cons. Work with what’s good on each one.

I have taken to social media since it’s the new generation of getting traffic etc. cheap moncler jackets and my hubs have not suffered that much traffic wise. My editors choice hubs most of them have seen increases, some have remained the same. I’m with you, it’s my job to polish and promote my work and I do.

I also write for other sites, keep my own blogs and work for outside clients. Be proactive it’s always a better choice.

I have been too chicken to say what you have stated here and I agree with you 100%. I see people complaining about traffic but mine has increased by about 30% since the Panda update in August. I see people complain about featured hubs and of my 174 hubs only 2 are unfeatured for lack of engagement. I still edit my hubs whether they are featured or not. As a matter of fact whenever I reply to a comment I always re read the hub to make sure it is error free.

I think we as hubbers should take full responsibility for our success of failure on HP.

Many of your points are valid. However, some are not.

For one thing, not all Hubs are unFeatured because of poor quality. Most people complaining these days, do so because their Hubs have been unFeatured for lack of traffic.

Low traffic does NOT equal low quality. It’s possible to have an excellent quality Hub on a topic that isn’t searched much. Often they make good income per visitor cheap moncler sale because they have so little competition, so they used moncler outlet to be ideally suited to long term earnings on a revenue sharing site like HP. Now, they can’t work on HP but they could elsewhere. So it’s not true that they’re not worth moving.

The other thing people moncler outlet woodbury complain about is changes in rules. Sure, it’s HubPages’ site and they’re entitled to change any rules they darn well please and it’s good to see that they’re making an effort to improve the fortunes of the site. However, sometimes it seems like they’re floundering around in the dark some of their rule changes don’t seem to reflect current thinking in webmaster circles, so who are they getting their advice from? I think members are entitled to complain about moncler sale that, too.

This is a general statement to those who are throwing out insults.

I haven’t mentioned anyone in my original post, except myself. While other hubbers have chosen to point out my hubs and my views in a negative light. I, unfortunately, decided to sink down to their level, which I apologize for.

This is why I don’t post on the forums. There are some mean hubbers discount moncler jackets out there, who consider themselves above others for whatever reason.

I’m glad this post sparked such a debate, though. I hope it gets moncler outlet online people thinking. The reality is, when steps are best moncler jackets made to correct thus, they too are affected. I saw the handwriting moncler online store on the wall, and started 3 blogs in December.
