Okay so here is my plan.... I have done a lot of it....am in the last stages.....Am posting it here so that others can either learn from my success or failure and I can get some advice along the way....

Step 1: Identify 60 "Low Competition" and "High Earning Potenetial" keywords....

I define "Low Competition" as the first 4 results of the SERPS in Google all have PR less than or equal to 3

I define "High Earning Potential" using the method taught in "The Keyword Academy". I would show you how to do so, but they teach you that stuff when you sign up for their paid program....So, I don't want to screw things up for them. I chose only keywords that have an earning potential of at least $50.

I have already found my 60 keywords that fit this criteria.


Step 2: Create 60 Hubs around the keywords...
I paid some local writers to write up 60 articles and I created 60 Hubs using those articles. I made sure that the keyword was in the Title of the hub and mentioned a few times within the hub.

Step 3: Promote the Hubs that show potential to get consistent traffic...
So, after the 60 Hubs were online for a week, I used a rank checking software and checked how many of them were showing up in the top 100 search results on Google for their targeted keywords. It seems half the Hubs are actually in the top 100 SERPS for their intended keywords.

I made an excel sheet in the following format...
Keyword1 - SERP Position Of Hub=22
Keyword2 - SERP Position Of Hub=27
.....etc etc...

Then I took the 10 hubs that were ranking the best and am doing some link building work to it. I am paying a guy to create the following 6 back-links to each hub through blog commenting...
  • One PR3 Link
  • Three PR2 Links
  • Two PR1 Links

After these links get cached, I hope to see an improvement in the SERPS for the 10 hubs and start getting some consistent search traffic from those keywords.....and hence make some consistent money.

If by using this back-linking strategy, my SERP position is improving, then I keep doing this for the Hubs that are doing well until I make 10$ per day.

QUESTION: What say? Good Plan? Any comments and suggestions?

    That's definitely an interesting plan in my opinion. I personally haven't had much success with Adsense on Hubpages but I haven't gone to the scale you're going to, nor have I done research over any of the keywords (I mostly write my hubs for fun or to promote one of my websites). I'll definitely be checking in on this thread to see how it goes for you!

      Thanks for the encouragement! Next update will be when the links come in. My link guy says it will be about 9-14 days. And then....will have to get the links cached by pinging the crap out of them. Then will update if there is any improvement in the SERPS!

      Question: Anybody has any positive experiences to report with High PR blog commenting?

    ajitv: sounds like a steady yet slow plan.

    I am doing pretty much the same thing. Currently started my "1000 uniqe visitors a day" campaign. So I set a goal to get 1000 unique visitors to my NEW hubs ( just started out recently with hubpages ).

    I have more strict rules when choosing keywords though. I rarely go for the keywords in which I dont see the top 3 as a possibility ( but hey thats just me ). I also never go for keywords lower than 2000 exact global search count as well as atleast 0.80$ adword cost.

    Its gonna take a lot of time for the backlinks to get indexed so dont rush it. Just build new hubs. No matter good or bad...linked or not linked....my oldest hubs are making the most $ and are getting the most visits. It just takes time.

    Good luck on your venture.

    P.s.: I chose 1000 because in my history so far it would make me at least 10€ a day with adsense.

      How do you decide if a keyword has top 3 possibility? Also when you say top 3 possibility, you mean top 3 possibility right off the bat with no back-linking or you mean top 3 possibility with your back-linking plan......which comes to....whats your back-linking plan exactly?

      Also, about the back-links, it is my understanding, that once I get the pages with the back-links on them are cached by Google I have ensured that Google knows about my back-links and then I should soon see a jump in the SERPS. Does it take more time than this?

    Not a bad plan.

    I suppose once your hubs are ranking and making you some money then you can develop your own sites on your own domains and pass on the link juice??? That would be quite powerful.

    I would def think about developing your own sites as well. You just never know with sites like hubpages, they could change their terms of service in a blink of an eye and all that hard work could potentially go down the drain. I personally just like to have some control.

    Good luck though, let us know how you get on!

      When I see the top 3 and see only PR 3+ and BL 50+ and Market Samurai is most if not all red....I move on.

      I have found its much much easier to find 2000+ global search KW with 5+ PR0 in the top10 with under 10 backlinks...Usually just making a hub (a quality hub ) will get me to the top 15-20 in 1 hour of posting. When I do my backlinking however it always takes me to the top 10.

      So I rather put in the effort to find 10x 2000ex.glob.count KW than waste my time with a "good" 20 000 global.count. KW.

      Oh and I use UAW for backlinking.

        Thanks for sharing your insight and experience. Very useful! But, what exactly do you do to measure the earning potential of the the keyword? How do you decide if the HubPage will make you any money?

    Very good idea.
    Hub pages is a good method to earn money online.
    There are people who make over 1000's of dollars daily.

    It could work but $10 from 60 Hubs is optimistic. TKA are the best in the business though so hopefully they've taught you well.

    Your plan doesn't take into account that some topics rank well on HubPages, some don't.

    Also some topics get great clickthrough rates, others suck.

    Remember that HubPages is a top notch site and outsourced content might not do well there. My own personal strategy is to concentrate on writing top quality original content and wait for natural backlinks to occur. I do however like to write loads of Hubs in the same niche then link them all together.

      Outsourced content can be written very good! Can also be very crappy I admit.

      I myself outsource everything, but have high quality writers ( a team of 10 picked out of 600+ that applied over time ).

      When I ll get to a certain steady income from the hubs I will also completely outsource hub creation and maintainance. The words auto pilot sound appealing

      What do you mean by some rank well on "HubPages" and some dont?

      HubPages traffic is pretty useless as they don't click. I am only interested in SE traffic. Since they are seeking information and a solution to their problem! They are the ones who will click on ads. Am I missing something here?

      The link builder guy tells me it will be about 10 more days till the links come in.

      I think I am going build some 20 do-follow social bookmarking links to each of 10 hubs. Lets see how things go...

    ajitv: Could you share your CTR ? Mine is going down a bit lately :/

    I believe the earning potential of the keyword means the avg. ad cost an advertiser pays. Lets say some words have 0.29$ ad cost other 8$ other 25$.... These adds will apear on your site/hub and you will get the %%% of this cost. 40%(or50 or 60 I dont know how much you get ) of 8$ sounds much more appealing than from 0.29%.

      I don't think its allowed by the Adsense TOS to share the CTR. But, I must admit that as of now, even tho I am using some optimized HubPages Layout for adsense which learned from LissowerButts.com (just search for hubpages adsense layout and go to the LissowerButts.com result....) my CTR is still not impressive.

      However, I must say, that as of now I am only getting some 13-19 people coming to my Hubs from the search engines per day, which is not much. And judging CTR from it is a silly idea. I do hope that once my traffic reaches around the 100 views per day level, I shall see a CTR of about 5% or so......lets see....time will tell.

      About earning potential of a keyword....you should join up "The Keyword Academy" to learn how that is calculated. They just take $1 for their first month and give you access to everything thats important....so do it and check all the stuff there out.

      But as a general rule, yes a $8 keyword is much better than a $0.29 keyword....In other happy news, I did manage to get a nice little $2 click yesterday from one of my HubPages.....gives me some encouragement that when the traffic arrives, there will be money made!

      @millionairenewbie:

      how do i identify low competition and high earning keywords?
      I use the method taught in an online program called "The Keyword Academy"....You should join it. It will only take $1 and will teach you all the basics. The Keyword Academy guy apparently made 100 hubs and is making $400 a month from it. He shows you how to do it in the program. Look it up and join.

      But read this thread too....there are some people posting interesting ways to judge the strength of the competition. And I think some of them are better than "The Keyword Academy"

      (after readin ur post i av registered on hubpages)
      Good to know dude! If there is one thing I have learned about success on the internet is that you should just keep trying stuff left-and-right and some of it will work and then you refine it!

      wat is the difference btw a hub and article? i seems not to understand hubpages very well
      Not much. HubPages just allows you to create articles and it seems to call those articles Hubs. No great technical difference. Its just a term I suppose.


      wat is a rank checkin software and how cani get one?
      If you give the software a particular search term you are trying to rank for and the page you want ranked for that search term, it will check where you are ranking for that term in Google. Simple. I got mine by searching for "free rank checking software" in google.


      How do i promote the hubs?
      Buy doing link-building.

      how do i do link building?
      How did you know I was going to say link-building :-P ......there are many ways to do link-building....you should search this forum for more info on that. A lot of threads and a lot of people keep talking about that. Also google something called "the backlinks forum" ......a whole forum devoted to the art of link building!


      how much in total av u spent and also how many hours work per day
      Hmm.....many many hours I suppose. I'm trying to get things rolling so that I have something to show for by the end of the month. Its a self-imposed deadline.


      I'm srry if dos q were much!
      Lil sorry myself.... :-P ....just kidding!

    I'm sort of feeling htat if you're going to write 60 quality articles to pos on HubPages, why not just post them on your own domain.

    HubPages takes a portion of each click for thier own.

    Or are you of the opinion that although you can get a HubPage to rank (because of the domain's authority) you wouldn't be able to get a domain to rank?

    Webdango : I tried doing both. The slow slooooooooooooooooow way is to make your own site and purhcase domains etc etc. I believe the 40% share that HB takes is worth it. The hubs get indexed in a matter of hours. I literaly started earning with some hubs the same day ( strictly adsense ).

    I think 19 000 000 subpages, 900 000 backlinks to the domain and DMOZ and YAHOO registrars accepted + an almost 10 year old mega-site...are all very encouraging.

    Did I mention how fast it is and how Google loves it

      Hey Webdango...your overall strategy and knowledge of HubPages seems to be much better than mine. Could you please share with all of us the summary of your entire plan.....you already told us about low competition keyword selection and link building....
      • Can you tell us about how you decide the earning potential of a keyword?
      • How many hubs you have as of now?
      • How well are they doing?
      • How much traffic are you getting?
      • How much are you making from Adsense?

      Maybe your figures are way better than mine and I should adopt your method.

      Please do share...

    Its all about the keyword research. I believe 70% is KW research the other 30% is content + backlinks.

    I can get 10 000 hubs which have no chance of cracking the top 5 of Google ( will still be in the top 15 lets say ), but will make more money with 500 hubs in the top 5.

    So its better to take some time and really go through the KW research well.

    Regarding hubs :

    - Integrate LSI keywords ( into the text and also in the anchor text of the backlinks )
    - Use UAW ( Unique article wizzard ) and dont waste your valuable time for backlinking one by one. Create an article get 2 rewrites and post. Voila - 500-1000 directories submited...if 5% will stick you are golden. I have had really hard KWs get form 18 place ( been there for 3 months ) to #4 withing 3 weeks of using UAW.

    -KW research : ad cost is very important! Top 5 competitors in google is very important ( I myself always look for atleast one place in the top 5 with PR0 and BL under 10 ) - thats a GO for me. Also dont forget to check TRENDS , if a kw does not have trends and has a ad cost of 0.05 there is something wrong, no matter how high the globacl search count is.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have around 100 hubs at the moment but all are in the begining phase and are about to crack the top 10... Around 10 of them already in the top 10. But the real money is in the top 3 or atleast the top 5 of course.

      For anyone that is still doubting the Hubpages method.

      Found an EXCELLENT keyword with 8800 exact global search and LOW competition.

      Made a hub with a QUALITY 500 word article I got from my writers ( see signature ) and that was it.

      Posted less than 12 hours ago. Am now #3 on Google for this 2 word keyword. Have already recieved 6 visits from Google.com(.ca) today.

      I am #1 from the "text" versions cause only Youtube is 1 and 2.

      Finding 50-100 like this shouldnt be a problem and the revenue will be quite nice

        Dude dude dude!! Just one important question....

        How do you define low competition?

        What level of competition is so low that you can rank by just having publishing the hub?

          Hi ,

          this is what I call LOW competition.

          Its from Market Samurai.

          PR = PAge Rank
          BLP = Direct backlinks
          BLD = backlinks to the domain
          IC = indexed pages in Google from this domain
          DA = age of domain.

            Thanks for that.

            Okay people I am as of now trying 2 new HubPages experiments....

            1. Using the power of the "Related Hubs" feature of HubPages to get traffic. So, the idea is that there are already a lot of Hubs that rank in Google for many search terms. If I can get my Hub at the top of the "Related Hubs" on the hubs that are already ranking....then wohoo! Instant traffic without much back-linking work etc.

            So, to harness this, I decided to study how HubPages decides if two hubs are related and which Hub is the most related to a particular Hub and which should thus get top spot....

            Now, from my small study, it would seem that the things that decide which hubs are related are the "categories" and the "tags"..... If your Hub is in the same category and has the same tags as another hub, it would be considered by HubPages to be a related Hub. I suppose that HubPages also factors in the HubScore of the Hub. The higher the HubScore the higher the position you will have among the related hubs.....

            BTW, all that I have above is just my hypothesis.....its not some official statements made by HubPages.

            So, what I tried to do....
            I found a Hub that was ranking on the first page of Google for a keyword that I was going after. I then created a Hub that had my own original content on the subject along with a video from YourTube and a bunch of pictures to get the HubScore up....Then I added all the exact same tags that the ranking Hub had added.....and I put my hub in the same category.

            I am sorry to say that even though, on my hub, the related hub in fist position was the Hub I was targeting.....on the Hub I was targeting, I am not in the related hubs as of now!

            Now, this maybe, due to the fact that the HubPages internal databases only update once a week or something and when it does all the related Hubs will be updated.....I dont know!! When will the related Hubs be updated?? Can some one share some insight? Cause this is a method worth perfecting.....there is a lot of free traffic to be got from it!

            Special call out to brettb: You seem to know a lot about HubPages....so what do you think of my related Hubs idea?


            2. Second Idea: I am going to use the Niche Refinery to find bunch of keywords that have ULTRA-LOW competition like the one showed to us by "delosense"....im going to create a bunch of HubPages and see if they rank on sheer domain authority like delosense says....and if not....what kind of back-linking d I need to do to get them in the top 5 on Google....will report back on that!

    Hubs get indexed by Google fast. They do often tumble down the rankings once their freshness wears off. A good Hub will climb back up the rankings though and get stronger over time.

    Keyword research is very important for HubPages. Next up is whether you have something original to say on that topic. In my experience neither Market Samurai or SEO Quake can predict if your Hub will get in the top 10 - what they can't tell you is if HubPages will rank strongly in that particular niche (as well as 1000's of other variables).

    Hubs get indexed fast and usually drop the 2-3 day but then crawl up yes.

    I always connect hubs with UAW...doing wonders for me at the moment. Hope it will continue in the future.

    I think when I get a couple of hundred nice keywords and build hubs around them + UAW their ass...I will be well off By a couple of hundred I mean lets say 500 for starters

    ajitv: huh never thought of the related hubs feature. Will give it a shot with some of my hubs. But I cannot sacrifice my tags for this purpose. The category is of no real importance so that will do.

    Keep em coming.

    If you have any other questions or "ideas" do share

        I dotn know where i heard this, but I think that the "tags" section is related to meta tags. Never went exploring though. If it is then I am doing it right, if not I am doing it wrong I always put lsi keywords in the tags ( also in the text ).

        I ll update when I find it out

    Well it looks like I ve been had Atleast I cant find the meta keywords in the source.

    I will give it a shot and see if there is any % in increase traffic due to the "related hubs" section.

      If you find a way to show up on the "Related Hubs" section of some popular hub, please do share....im all ears!

    Related Hubs are good. If you write enough Hubs in a niche then you can have all of your Hubs listed in related Hubs! This tells you that you are pretty much dominating a niche on HubPages.

    Don't worry about your Hubs being listed in other people's Related Hubs bit - external traffic on hubpages is way more lucrative than internal traffic.

    You tend to see your own Hubs on the Related Hubs of your Hubs rather than other people's.

    The tags are great - did you know each has it's own RSS feed? Did you also know you can make your own tags (e.g. BB-WeightLoss) then you can make your own RSS feed to all your hubs in a certain topic?

    I'm not far from $10 a day on HubPages now, mainly due to keyword research but also finding niches that get a lot of Hub love.

      brettb: How many vacklinks do you make on avg. for your hubs. 200 hubs of well researched keywords and less than 10$ per day...doesnt sound like a lot.

      How well are they placing on google ?

      Thank you for this post. These real number, real life examples provide me with inspiration to keep chugging along. I read someone else said you have 200 hubs. That may or may not be true, but I have 60 articles on my site so far. I've just bought some automation tools for backlinks and I'm ready to take a break from writing for a few and do some behind the scenes work. I'd love it if I even started pulling a $1 a day

      Anyways, I'm just saying thanks for keeping it real with the numbers and info. I wish success to all of us in this thread.

    I guess It's much better if We can use our own website. A developed website with a good PR. It will maximize our revenue on my opinion.
    Low competition keyword is not the same as easy to broke top 10 keyword IMHO.

      I ll tell you what steps I take :

      1. Find good keywords using microniche finder & market samurai
      2. Get writers to write 500+ word articles based on this keywords ( with LSI keywords included ) ( outsourced! )
      3. Get my "hub-maker" to make my hubs. ( outsourced! ) <- this is because I am making a lot of hubs at the moment and I feel kind of dumb after 4 or 5 in a row. Always doing the same copyste/copy---paste here click here copy this. I got someone to do it for penies. My time is worth much more.
      4. Get 3 version of a unique article ( my own of course ) and post them to UAW ( Unique article wizzard ) and send it out with 100 different resource boxes with 100 different anchor text keywords 100 different author names 100 different variations of title...
      5. Set it and forget it.
      Rince and repeat

      The only problem is you HAVE TO WAIT! there is no going pass this.

      Happy Hubbing

      Okay guys general update... Not that anything exciting has happened, but I just want you to know that I am live and kicking. My link guy has given me an estimate of 9-14 days for my links to come in. As of now i'm on the 9th day, still no word from him. Will buzz him if still nothing arrives on the 14th day.

      About the related hubs experiment... I suppose that it is obligatory for me to share that even though the hub I created has a hubscore of 67 it is still not showing up in the related hubs are of the hub i want it to show up on. Don't know how much time that takes! But i'm going to hang in there and see when it decides to happen if it decides to happen.

      Hey delosense: How about you? Did you take the related hubs idea for a spin? Anything worth mentioning?

      Super Low Competition Hubs: So I used "Nice Refinery" to find me some keywords with Super Low Competition and still having earning potential. I created a hub on a topic where the Google search results are sooo week that there is only one result in there with the keyword in the title....and it too is a no PR, 0 back-links page. The other pages don't even have the keyword in the title. They have the two words of the keyword distributed over the page, but they have PR. So looking at the pages I thought that Google seemed to be struggling for relevant pages, so having a seo'd hub should help me rank quickly. Lets see how it goes! Just published the hub. Will keep you guys updated!

    Hi all,

    I didnt not try the related hubs thing yet.

    Am currently in the process of doing backlinking stuff and slowly making new hubs. Am more involved in UAW and backlinking, because 200 hubs all ranking in #10-#20 arent worth as much as 20 hubs ranking in the #1-#5 so I have to boost them up...all of them

    Hub pages keep 50% of the adsense revenue, so why would want to build a strategy to cut your profits in half?

    Consider this too, that most traffic to the hubs are very targeted and not likely to want to click away via adsense, just my experience anyway.

      HubPages keeps 40% of the revenue.....and we are not aiming for internal HubPages traffic....we are aiming for traffic from Search Engines because HubPages rank well and fast due to sheer domain authority.


      Anyways guys, just want you to know some stuff...

      Yesterday night I put up a Hub for a keyword that seemed to have super week competition. Now, I defined super week competition by looking at the first pages of the search results and seeing that most of the results, even though they had PR, they were all mostly irrelevant. 9 out of 10 of them did not even have the keyword in the title! So, I supposed that this should be easy to rank for right off the bat..right? Well no...

      My hub is on the 10th page of the search results...not very helpful at all.

      I am still trying to find out for what keywords does HubPages rank on the first or second pages right off the bat...I want to know how low the competition needs to be for that.

      So today I am going to create another Hub....for a keyword that has 4 results on the first page having a "PR0" or "PR n/a" and having less than 10 back-links. Lets see where my Hub gets placed by tomm. morning!

        ajitv : the last thing you mentioned will give you better results. Do keep in mind that it takes at least a week or 10 days for the hub to "settle in".

        I had a hub which came to #3 place over night then dropped over 1000 and is now back and sitting in 10th place without any backlinks.

        I wrote another thread on this forum ( its not hard to miss ) its about some strange behvaiour where one of my hubs that gets 10-20 views per day got 329 yesterday...321 unique.... weird Dont know wether to be happy or worried

          General Update: My back-links guy has not sent in the back-links yet.

          Super Easy Keyword Update: However, I do want to mention that the Super Easy Keyword I was targeting with 4 PR0 pages with under 10 back-links on the first page of the Google SERPS...my hub is now in the 27th position for that keyword. The Hub is now 42 Hours old. I have not done any back-linking work as of now.

          I would just like to say that somebody mentioned on this thread that if you have a super easy keyword with 5 PR0, no back-links results on the first page, you can hit the second page in one hour of creating a Hub. This does not seem to be true in my case at least.

          However, in any case, I do intent to work on back-linking this Hub and see how much work it takes to get the Hub in the first 5 results of the SERPS. I am going to start by Social Bookmarking the Hub with 20 Do-Follow Social Bookmarking links.

          About the related Hubs Experiment: My Hubscore is 67...but the Hub is still not showing up in the related Hubs of the Hub that is already ranking. This is a bit disheartening. Don't know when that will happen!
