Hubpages Progress

I am two thirds the way through my Hubpages Hubchallenge, to write 30 hubs in 30 days. I think that I will make it, but even if I do it in 31 or 32 days, I still plan to write 30 hubs.

I have to say that I am pleased with the outcome of this experiment so far. I have been getting adsense income about 4 out of 7 days a week so far. I have had numerous clicks on Amazon, and some sales, and today I got a sale on Shareasale which is one of the affiliate companies that I am signed up for. I am only getting about 550 pageviews per week so far, and many of the pages are brand new, so I am sure that all of this will go up as the pages mature, and I have more of them.

The Hubpages Community has been quite helpful and supportive, although it has not been hard to figure things out.

Hubpages forces a person to be more focused on their pages. Since you are only allowed two affiliate links per page, I have chosen on any given page to have both of them go to the same company, one at the beginning and one near the end of the page. In addition, I can add products from Ebay and Amazon.

I understand that some Hubbers are having trouble being accepted as an Adsense or EPN associate. I already had a well established though not very productive Adsense account from Blogger, and had no problems with EPN. If nothing else, I am learning how to use the Adwords Keyword tool better, and understand the SEO information better, which can then translate both to Squidoo and any other site I use including my main website Lake Erie Artists Gallery.
