How to Optimize your HubPages to Make Money
86This Hub is for Bard of Ely, who needs to maximise his online earnings. The Bard has some excellent Hubs, but they haven't been money-making Hubs.
This Hub is all about how to maximize income on what I call "writerly" Hubs. It will help you if, like the Bard, you're here because you love writing, but you'd like to make money, too!
If you're starting from scratch, and your focus is more on making money than writing, my tips are relevant - but you'll get faster results if you study keyword research and SEO first.
It's important to remember that HubPages is a long-term strategy - what you write today will earn money in six months or a year, not right now (unless you're an expert at backlinking). Hubs need to mature to reach their full potential. If you need cash flow now, like the Bard, your priority is to learn how to become a freelance writer selling articles (like Sufidreamer) - or get a job!
However, that doesn't mean you should give up on your Hubs. It may take only a few hours of "tweaking" to improve their earnings potential. Then they can simmer profitably on the back-burner while you're doing other things. So let's do it:
Step #1 - Prioritize your Hubs
Work on the Hubs that get the most traffic first. Go to the Statistics page and order the Hubs by Page Views (click on the "30 days" heading twice). Now you can either export the table into Excel, or print the screen, so you have a handy list of your Hubs with the highest-trafficked Hubs at the top.
Step #2: Allow Space for HubPages Ads
Advertising on HubPages doesn't always appear in exactly the same place on every Hub. HubPages uses Yieldbuild to work out the best positions.
It makes sense, then, to make sure you leave space for ads. Split your text over several capsules, and don't fill the entire right-hand side of your Hub with photos, videos, Amazon or eBay ads - leave gaps for HP Ads or Adsense to appear.
It's especially important to take a hard look at your Amazon and eBay capsules. If you can't find products directly relevant to the subject of the Hub, delete them - because they'll divert the reader's attention away from Adsense or HP Ads, but you're unlikely to make any sales from them.
For instance, Bard has a Hub about the Black Madonnas of Tenerife. If it features books on the Black Madonna and Tenerife, he may make a sale. If it advertises books on the Canary Islands, it's less likely; books on European travel, no chance!
Tip: when you are logged in, you can't see all the ads above the fold, even in "Preview" mode. Log out and view your Hub, then you'll see how much advertising appears to outside visitors (and Google!).
Step #3 - Good Content "Above the Fold"
In January 2012, Google changed its algorithm to penalize sites with too much advertising "above the fold" (i.e. the bit of a web page visitors can see without scrolling).
The top right-hand corner of a Hub used to be regarded as the best place for an Adsense ad, and Hubbers were recommended to write a long first text capsule to allow space for one. However, there are already several advertising banners around the top section of a Hub - so to avoid attracting a Google penalty, it may be safer to keep your first capsule short, which will force the first ad down.
Step #4 - Keep Your Text Flowing
For most of your Hub, it's best to float your photos and videos to the right of the text (if you're not sure what I'm talking about, you need to learn how to use capsules before you go any further). A photo or video cutting across the page can often stop a reader scrolling down - so they'll never see the ads below it!
I know photos don't look as good smaller - but what are you here for, to make money or show off your photos? Remember if you have more than five, your readers can view a full-size slide show anyway.
If you have your own photos, bear in mind they're not protected from theft on HubPages. Consider putting them up for sale at a site like Dreamstime instead. You can always write a Hub or two to promote them!
Step #5: Keep Your External Links Low
I don't mean you mustn't link to other websites: Google likes to see outgoing links to authority sites. I mean keep them low down in the Hub.
The reason is simple - if a reader sees a link to another site before they get to an ad, they may follow that link and never come back to click on the ad!
So keep your links to other Hubs or other websites to the last couple of paragraphs. And don't go link-crazy: only link if the other Hub or site really adds value to your Hub. The more links you create, the more likely you are to have broken links in the future - and Google doesn't like broken links.
Step #6: Interlink, Interlink, Interlink
Make sure you interlink all your Hubs on the same subject. I don't just mean put them in groups - I mean mention your other Hubs in the text, (e.g. "...as I explained in my Hub on Belly Dance Workouts"). These are called contextual links and Google likes them especially. They're much more effective than using "click here" or "my Hub" - so make sure the link is a keyword.
Another alternative is to add an RSS feed or Links capsule listing your related Hubs. Make sure you only include Hubs on the same topic - start listing Hubs on other subjects, and you're liable to get unpublished!
You can also put links to all your related Hubs on your blog or website. However, first ask yourself, which one do you most want to get traffic - your blog or your Hubs? If it's your blog, then put links in your Hubs TO your website. If you want to make money from your Hubs and your blog is just for fun, then put links on your blog TO all your Hubs. Never, ever link in both directions because it reduces the value of the links.
As far as Bard is concerned, I think he would do better to drive traffic to his Tenerife blog by adding links on his Tenerife Hubs. However first he would have to monetize and improve his blog, so that's a project for another day!
You can see how I've implemented these ideas in my Hub on Tribal Belly Dance Costumes - I have links in the text to my website and to my related Hubs, and an RSS feed to my other Tribal Hubs at the end.
Step #7 - Four Quick Ways to Improve Traffic
Avoid Clever Titles
Most writers are taught to use a "catchy" title for an article, and witty headings within it. On the internet, that doesn't work - you must use titles that include your keywords, preferably in a phrase people actually search for. That often means they're somewhat boring, but don't worry - because titles are to attract Google. It's surprising what a difference it can make - I saw one Hub triple in traffic when I changed its title to include my keyword phrase!
The clip above explains how to use the Google Keyword Tool to optimize your title - but if the keyword tool is a mystery to you, don't worry. SEO is a major learning curve! In Bard's case it would take too much time to master, so in his case, I'd say - just ask yourself what people are likely to be looking for, and use those words and phrases.
For those with the time to study up on this subject, read Sunforged's Hub on On Page SEO Optimization.
The Summary
If the title is for Google, the summary is for your visitors. It provides the couple of lines you see under the Hub title on Google search results. Make sure it entices your reader to click on the link and read more! You'll find it at the top of the "reorder" box when you're in edit mode.
Write Long Hubs - or Interlinked Short Ones
Longer Hubs - between 800 and 1,500 words - do much better than short Hubs. To extend all your Hubs would take too long, but you can get almost as good a result by interlinking several short Hubs - but only if they're all on the same subject and only if they're each at least 400 words long. If they're less than 400 words, write some more, combine them together, or move them to a blog.
Remember, Google likes contextual links best Or you could include a right-floated, highlighted text or links box listing the other Hubs.
Keeping Readers on your Page
Google looks at a range of parameters when judging your Hub, and one of them is the length of time visitors stay. The longer they stay, the more value your Hub has in Google's eyes, the higher you'll rank on searches and the more visitors you'll get.
A simple way to hold readers longer is to add Youtube videos relevant to your subject. This has the bonus of giving you a free backlink - a link to your Hub will automatically appear on Youtube.

Thanks! I have other tips too, but I'm conscious that spending too much time tweaking Hubs would take away from other money-making endeavours. To my mind, the ones I have included will make the most difference.
And I knew you'd set our Bard on the right track!
Thank you so much, for this hub and the tips in it, Marisa! I am going to have to do a lot of work on the hubs I have I can see.
The news capsules I don't like because I have added them before and often find when I edit a hub that it says they are empty now so I have been deleting them. Any ideas on how to stop the capsules doing this?
My photos I am very proud of and am often complimented on. I always used to make a point of getting photos for my news stories that were published in hard copy papers and magazines. I have tried selling photos online before and have sold none so gave up on that idea.
My main frustration in my artistic career as a writer, singer, poet and photographer is I get an almost daily diet of people saying how good I am at these things but all of these talents fail badly to bring in much if any income. I realise that on that score I am one of billions of creative people worldwide with the same problem but that doesn't help.
I will bear all your advice in mind from now on and make a lot of changes.
Sufidreamer, thank you again too!
How timely! This is exactly the information I have been looking for. It should also help me to plan the layout of new hubs, and possibly my blog layouts.
I agree, great concise hub. As for the Bard's question, I've found in my experience that putting in a general one word keyword in the news feed works a lot better to keep it full than a more descriptive term. So that's been my strategy for using news feeds.
@Jerry - yes, you have to pick the right keyword, you can't just accept the title of your Hub (which is what appears by default). I often have to experiment to find one that works.
@Bard, something about the News capsules changed some time ago. I only discovered it when I went back through my Hubs to fix my Adsense placement after reading Lissie's blog post - all my News capsules were empty. But all I had to do was re-enter my keyword and bingo, they all reappeared.
Sad to say, good writing is not enough. In a magazine, the editor decides what articles will appeal to readers; the journalist writes them; and the graphic artist designs the layout. Online, you have to do all three, and the most important is being the editor - working out what will appeal to readers and sell your "magazine".
Marisa, I am starting to get the hang of this and have split up the text on a few of mine. I am having to think of some explanation for this. eg I just broke an interview up and for the second part called it "Continued".
Thank you for explaining about the news capsules. It appears that all mine are empty. I will start doing these again.
Well I hit that green button,.. this is an Excellent hub !!!
I had no idea about the pics being placed in the second capsual,.. nor the news capsual being added. Off to go fix some errors I made,.. Thanks Bunches for the tips !!!
This is an excellent hub - very easy to understand. The bit about external links sounds like it will be easy to apply.
We have used the advice given by Lissie regarding ad placement and like the way our 'new look' hubs appear.
Great info, concisely stated. I'm bookmarking this one. Thanks!
Thanks for the advice, I've so much to learn
Thanks for this useful hub. Being a new hubber, I have such a lot to learn.
This is such a good strategy Marissa to increase revenue on existing hubs. I'm sure that there are other writers on HubPages, who weren't focused on making money here at first, who now find themselves in a similar situation. This is a simple and effective roadmap for them to follow. Great Job!
Thanks for this hub, Marissa. I learned the trick of moving the first ad block up a few months ago, and went back and did that for all of my hubs. Since then I have been putting it in the first paragraph but not always at the very top.
Hadn't really thought about the second group of ads.
Excellent info - thanks for putting it all so clearly and concisely. I am in muchthe same position as the Bard - would like to get some revenue going but don't really know how to do it. This will help me, I think. I have bookmarked this Hub.
Love and peace
Tony
Thanks Nelle, I value your opinion! I think you'll agree there is a big difference between the strategy you need to make the best of existing Hubs, and the strategy you'd use if you were starting from scratch - I'm planning to highlight that in a follow-up Hub.
This was a good Hub before, but your additional material at the end makes it even better. I'm looking forward to your article on strategies for writing a new Hub.
Other than a little SEO savvy and good, original content, the main focal point needs to be on "what's likely to be getting searched" on the web and so on. I mean, taking advantage of other peoples' inquisitiveness is a must-have property when it comes to marketing strategies. Even if you're a novice to the site with prior training elsewhere, you can't use expert SEO while being an elite writer...all while expressing a senseless subject and expect to make money. I think the message that needs to be emitted, is all about selecting what is often queried and better yet, go for secondary, less competitive terms when it comes to keywords and whatnot.
I've did all this in the past, and often times, people will give up before they make it. You got to be persistent or you better be very good at what you do; fact.
Nice hub...
@Obscurely Diverse, I agree that if your goal is money-making, you really need to write about topics people will search for. However, this Hub was focussed on maximising income from articles already written - because although they may not be perfectly targetted, there's no point in letting them go to waste.
Thanks so much for this hub Marisa. Great tips that will work not only for Bard, but many of us who wish to maximise earnings from our past hubs. I have always felt there is much that we can do for certain hubs to get an income boost, so this hub gives the details clearly and to the point.
I have started to take this advice without delay. Bookmarked.
Thanks and Cheers.
Awesome hub! Thanks so much!
This is great hub. I am fairly new to all this and although enjoy writing am failing with making money. I look forward to applying some of your tips Marisa.
Marisa, I took your tips and implemented them on some of my hubs already. Everythings you said make sense. Thanks for sharing.
I cliked on Effective Niche Marketing and I got the page does not exist message. I'll have to find it from Nelle Hoxie.
great hub thanks for the great info
It's all in the other comments - great ideas, well presented.
This is great information. I only recently learned about using multiple text capsules and putting photos in the second capsule. I had so many hubs that I went and deleted all of the photos and am now changing the layout on them a few at a time. I'd rather not walk away from so much work. Thank you for the hub.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. A lot of things I didn't know, thanks for the great advices. Rated, bookmarked and stumbled.
This is a fantastic and very informative hub. I am bookmarking this hub so I can come back and read it a few more times to make sure I soak everything up.
Cheers.
Excellent information; there's definitely lots to learn from this wonderful hub.
The information shared by Marisa is immensely fruitful. The clarity and balance shine from this hub. There are plenty of things to learn from this astonishing hub. Thus if an individual proceeding for creative writing then he had to learn how to use freelance writing sites like Elance. The whole hub is simply effortlessly- classic.
Marisa, thanks for all this information. I never knew that much can be done about hubs already published. I will go and have a look at the hubs i have produced so far and then see what i can do about them.
Thanks for sharing
I've bookmarked this hub for future reference. Excellent article, well-written and easily understandable. Thanks!
Thanks again Marisa. I always appreciate your straight forward, easily understandable advice. It's been a big help!
I am bookmarking this as there are a few things I want to use in future hubs, yer still the girl Marisa but ya shud reply to yer comments more, respect yer fans ; )
Art, thanks for your comment but I've been through this before - if people want to leave comments on my Hubs, I appreciate it, but I refuse to reply unless I have something meaningful to say.
Thank you so much Marisa for sharing this great hub!! I am new to hubpages and will definitely listen to your advice! Thanks!
Marissa, Can't thank you enough. You have truly given some worthwhile advice. I have already bookmarked and will look further into your suggestions tomorrow.
It's getting late and I'm starting to see double, gotta get to bad.
Congratulations to you on reaching 1203 hubs. I will up the anti. Pleased to be 1204.
Great Job!
Sage
Hello again, Marisa! This is actually Bard of Ely! I have taken your advice and been improving my hubs I already have but came up with an idea of starting a new account here and only putting Tenerife-related hubs on it. I have a lot on my PC so am planning on doing a lot of rewrites over the next few weeks and will be following your advice as much as possible with them. I am hoping it will eventually become a site where people will be able to find assorted info on Tenerife. It's going to take a while though I know.
Thanks again for all your advice!
Brilliant hub. I've bookmarked it and will be coming back to it again and again.
I love the idea of external links at the bottom. I limited my use of external links for the same reasons you listed. I was not aware that Google likes external links to high PR sites. Thank you for the insight.
Thanks for that, i didnt realise how news capsules could help.
Nice hub for us beginners....i didn't know about news capsules either
Great useful hub! Thanks for taking time to post!
Marisa, thanks so much for this. From a profit-generating standpoint, my hubs are a mess. I need to learn how to become more like you and get my shit together as far as earnings goes. I appreciate you sharing all of this.
Easy to follow format and great presentation - Very nice and simple enough for anyone. Thanks! ;-)
Thank you so much for the advice! I am new to hub pages, I joined a little over a week ago. I am having trouble generating traffic also. One of my main problems is I can't figure out how to set up Google Analytics. I am not able to post the tracking code for my site onto my page source. If you can give me some help with this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!
Angel, the instructions for adding a tracking code are for people who have their own websites. On revenue-sharing sites like HubPages, you can't use them. Instead, you paste your Analytics ID into the Analytics section under "My Account", and your pages will be tracked automatically.
Thank you Marisa for your valuable advice - am off to do the double click on the statistics page and will move photographs down and the adsense blocks up - hopefully this will make a difference financially...thank you ...btw the link to Nellie Hoxie's hub does not click through...cheers
Great Writing. Excellent Hub by excellent hubber. I learned a lot from this.
Thank you for all this invaluable information. I am going to bookmark this page because I plan to follow every step. I love writing but as we all know it doesn't pay the bills. With your advice here I can optimise each hub's potential for earning more money. I also want to thank you for including other links to relavant hubs on this subject. I intend to read them now too and learn even more. Excellent hub
Outstanding and extremely helpful hub. Thank you!
Really enjoyed this hub. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing. I am new to hub pages and need all of the help I can get. :)
Shane
Marisa, Thanks for sharing this hub on setting up the hub for optimal income. I had read Lissie on setting this up when I first joined HubPages but forgot how I found it. I will be going back and redo some of my hubs to see if I can't make them more profitable.
Thanks again!
Great info! Thanks. :)
Thank you Marisa for excellent and practical advice on how to get ahead on Hub Pages. I like the advice on where to place pictures and ads, very practical. I am still learning and I appreciate every bit of advice I can get.
Great hub. I will bookmark and rate up. Thank you for all the tips.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the tip about making the second capsule short so that another ad block shows near the top. Thanks again!
hi Marisa, I didn't know about altering the summary box in edit, I also have find out how to float a blue box with reference to my other hubs to link them together- once again great hub.
Brian, create the text capsule and move it (using the green arrows or the "reorder" box) close to where you want it. Once it's nested between other capsules, you'll see the right green arrow - click on that to float it right. Once it's in the correct place, then you'll find you can click on one of the blue boxes to change the background color.
The color won't show up until you save the capsule, and sometimes I find you have to do it a couple of times before it "sticks".
thanks Marisa got that now, how do you then put your hub url in the box so someone can click it and directly go there.?
Brian, type the title of your Hub into the text capsule, highlight it, click the little chain icon and select the Hub you want. Repeat!
Marisa your an angel-big kiss
Good topic! Keep up the good work. Going to use the tips in my Hubs :)
Learned several useful tips. Thank you!
You know, I never understood why people recommend videos. I can't stand 'em myself and more to the point trying to find something relevant would take too much time, but at least now I understand WHY everybody recommends it.
And, inspired by that, I did find videos for two of my hubs. Who knows, I may find more -:)
It's true Pcunix - I enjoy finding relevant clips for my Hubs but it can be time-consuming because there's so much rubbish on Youtube.
Back again! I have been search for this hub for a while now and finally found it. This time I bookmarked it ( I just found out how to do that!). This time around reading this hub I understand better what you are talking about.
Do you know if the links hubs are do follow or not? Not sure which way to add anchor text to other hubs would be more beneficial for ranking.
Boomer, all links in your Hub are do follow, provided your content is original and your Hubber score is above 75.
Google likes contextual links (links in a paragraph) best, surrounded by relevant text (so don't put a link to a cooking Hub in a Hub about engineering, for instance). An RSS feed isn't regarded quite as highly.
If you're going to add a RSS feed to your Hubs, make sure it's to related Hubs only, to avoid diluting your keywords.
Wow, I finally understand what a contextual link is. Thank you dear woman! We've 'spoken' on the forums and now the Bard had led me to this most informative hub.
Thanks again, Marisa.
Great hub Marisa I shall be tweaking my hubs thats for sure.
Wonderful hub, Marisa, I implemented only the idea of renaming my existing hubs with a few keywords and my views on that day went up from 23 to 72 in about 4 hours. I know these are ridiculous numbers, but for a beginner, this is a LOT! Thanks again, this is really so much FUN!!!!
This is a really great Hub. I decided to lower my photos from the top right corner. I have always thought of doing it, but liked how the photos appeared above the fold.
But truthfully in the end I am here for the money too, as Hubpages covers my internet business expenses and more!
Marty Ware
The SEO Dad & the creator of the Hubpages Tribe.
Great tips! I'm going to tweak my hubs now!
Very useful hub. I have also found that keeping the titles simple and including your keywords in the title helps to improve traffic. Thanks!
Just Learned about this topics, very inspiring and helful. Thanks, I am trying to improve my skills by following some of your tips.
This is very much appreciated. I am brand new and have not written as yet. I am looking around and getting tips and this was the best of the best so far. Thanks so much!
This is very helpful. I didn't realize "contextual links" - I must work on that. No photo in the very top?! I will follow your lead (as did Marty too!) You give the best advise. Thank you!
Thank you Marissa for a concise and understandable hub on improving earning potential of my hubs. I have found your comments on how writing as a writer will not earn income especially helpful. Learning to write for search engines first and the audience second is like starting all over and so much of what the SEO hubs say is gobbledegook to non SEO specialists. Thank you for your clarity!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful!
Thanks Marisa. That is really interesting. The exact information I was searching for
Great resources for all of us to build and improve on our hubs and community. I keep going back and reworking my hubs and appreciate all the knowledge shared. I will continue to learn and work on this goal. Thanks :)
Great advice, I learned a bunch!
Thanks for your advice, and the video was helpful too. I like your writing style, easy to ready and to the point.
Fantastic Hub, thanks to Bard of Ely for recommending it in his Hub, and great thanks to you.
Very informative and useful.
This is great Marisa. I found this article after the Bard of Ely was singing your praaises. This is a great hub and I'm going to go back through my articles and get tweaking. Thanks for the info and support
Marisa, thanks so much for all the useful information, I am trying to learn and improve, but the more I learn, the more I know there is to learn (if you know what I mean). Thanks for the tip about Revver, I did not know that you got a backlink for placing a video on your hub and also, thanks for the tips about outgoing links and updated content. I will try to apply what I have learned!
Good work, thanks
Thank you for the advice. I’m new to HubPages and I’m trying to learn how to create effective hubs. Your article will be a big help.
Excellent hub Marise thumbs up - lots of tips I hadn't come across before !
I read this Hub I think monthly and keep returning for more info. I am starting to understand this - thanks to your hard work. Thank you very much!
This was an excellent article. I'll be referring back to it.
This is perfectly targeted for what I'm wanting to get done. Thank you!
Greetings Marisa,
I am new to hubpages and just want to thank you for writing a very understanding and informative hub! Some of this is so confusing and you put it in layman terms. Easy to understand.
Thank you for sharing!
Blessings,
Laurie
Great Hub Great Ideas. I'll try to incorporate them into my hubs.
Fantastically helpful Marissa, especially for a new hubber such as myself. I'll be visiting this hub quite a bit in the near future.
Thank you Marissa for such a useful HUB. Very informative. There are some great suggestions and tips that I can definitely utilize.
Regards!
Thank you this hub was really useful! I've bookmarked it!
I feel very identified with Bard of Ely right now, I have beautiful photographs of very interesting places and I think I have managed to write good quality hubs about travel and places as well as gastronomy with valuable and nice to read information, but haven’t received a dime up till now. I am going to work on my hubs with your tips Marisa and see what happens. Thank you.
I'm a newbie here and found your hub to be very helpful. It's answered some of the questions that are buzzing around my head. I think this is very much a learn as I go project.
WOW. I'm a newbie and this definitely helped!
Marisa
This hub is a fantastic overview of how hubbers can rake in more money without being loaded with jargon of SEO, complicated backlinking and some such. It made for a good read and reminds us hubbers what our priorities should be, which by the way, haven't changed much principally since you wrote this hub nearly 2 years back. Awesome hub that has definitely stood the test of time!
Princesswithapen
Thanks for the great insight! Very helpful.
Thank-you, this has been very helpful...and I"ve got it bookmarked to refer back too:)
I love the hub and you write with such authority. You may be just the mentor I am looking for. What do you say?
If you get the time it would be great if you could look over some of my hubs and let me know the verdict.
Hey Marisa, great hub! I have been doing mostly everything you talk about in this hub for some time now and I noticed the hubs that I created with this structure have the most traffic. I sure you have helped many hubbers with this information but most people won't take the time to do it. Voted up and useful!
Do you know how to add a banner across top of the hub?
I mean the adsense banner across top of the hub. In some hubs it's appears on top while in some not.
Ah. That's not under your control. I notice that I can't see the top advertising banner when I'm logged in - have you tried looking at your Hubs when you're logged out?
Just excellent information! Thank you!
Excellent information. I'm using everything you said. It's so valuable. I'm excited to get started! Voted up!
Don't know what else I can add to your HubPages Tips, but thanks! :)
Great tips. I hadn't thought about putting the links low to avoid a reader leaving the page early to chase the link. Great for new hubbers!
This great article of yours will help me a lot in Optimizing my Hubpages account.
Extremely useful hub! I'll be your advice whenever I revise my hubs or write new ones - thank you!
Thanks so much for pointing me to this hub...it's just great! I'm off to start tweaking...again...to see if I can make things better. Wonderful hub!

Excellent, Marisa - concise, clear and very useful. I am slowly working through some of my older Hubs, too, and these tips will come in handy.
We almost have the Bard up and running with a freelance site account - it is good to have a few more irons in the fire, as you said :)
