Why am I not making any money off Hubpages?

6 replies
I make money off my Squidoo pages...
however my Hubpages are higher in Google,
and get 10x more traffic.

So...why am I not seeing any money from Hubpages?:confused:

    Probably because the people who go to hubpages aren't looking to buy anything.

    Far too vague for us to give you any reason(s) at all. What are the keyword niches? What are the monetization techniques?

    For example up until last December I was rocking Hubs full of PLR content and banking it off the adsense share. I also have more than 200 original articles up on Hubpages and was pushing products through aff links-- until the last algo-change that is.

    Are the hubs informational based or more promotional? Are you targeting the right keywords for your offers? Honestly I'm surprised to hear someone say their hubs are still ranking lol.

    You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.

    Make sure you set up your ads optimally, preferably so that they are in the top right. You can make this happen by making your first capsule be about 130 words. Here is an example of what one looks like: How to Get Big Traps

    Other than that, I'm not sure. Do you have your Adsense ID put into Hubpages?

    GoogleWarrior I have something VERY important that you must understand. Don't rely on Squidoo or Hubpages for income. Build your own sites and just use Squidoo and Hubpages for linkbuilding and a bit of extra money.

    Maybe hubpages has worse CTR or pays less per click. You should start building your own web properties and monetize with those, that way you own them 100% and no one can ever take it away from you

    Thanks JamesGW...

    I will edit my hubpages to make the first capsule have approx. 150 words to get the ads in the top right corner.

    I suggest that you don't put too much time on HubPages. They recently locked nearly every single one of my hubs a few days ago

    I wasn't spamming them, and I only had 1 affiliate link on each Hub... but o well.
