I’ve been reading your blog the past couple of days and your experiments are blowing my mind. I can really see where such single-minded focus really pays off and I think that is the thing I’ve been lacking in.

I work on this site here, then that one there, then I do a hub or two, and then I write an Eza article or two. And so on. I think I need to take this no guts, no glory approach you’ve got and start going all out on one thing for a month.

Nice work here man… I was wondering, have you tried linking to your Hubs from GoArticles at all? If so, what kind of benefit did you get?

I’ve tried to keep putting ezine articles to each of my hubs, which does help. Right now, i am sending ezine articles and infobarrels to my hubs. I do notice an increase in traffic.

I’d say that it’s more important that you just get hubs out there. You CAN make money without ezine links or TKA links — though these will help. Just make sure each of your hubs has between 3-5 link from your other hubs. This should be enough to get you some money.

It also depends on your niche. If you pick the wrong niches, you probably won’t see too many clicks. Generally, what I do is see which hubs naturally start to get clicks. If I get more than one click, I start sending links to that hub.

Ben, nice site! Very inspirational. I’ve written 48 hubs right now by targeting keywords as described in TKA. Nearly all of these hubs have very few links. Aside from some random clicks I haven’t made much money yet. Would you recommend I add the 3 TKA links and ezine articles or spend my time by building more hubs? Reason I ask is because Strathy over at TKA made money without any links. Then again, a recent poster on TKA claimed that he made nothing with his unlinked 100 hubs. So confusing.

Hi jother. Not yet. The way hubpages seems to work is that you reach a new barrier than thens go back down, but higher than before. I think I am averaging probably about 35 bucks a day. Probably the lowest I’ve seen in 2 weeks is about 18 bucks, which happened to be on a Sunday (last week). The average day seems to be around 35 though. I’m pumping a good 5-10 hubs out a day so this has to increase. It can take some time for your backlinks to kick in and whatnot. I’d say it takes about a week before you start to see ad clicks for a new hub.

I’ve also been lax with backlinks — besides hubpages and ezines, I haven’t been doing anything else to promote. I’m going with the whole, throw as much much against the wall as possible and then see what sticks.

Based on what i’ve been doing with hubs, my earnings will be increasing. Each new hub increases the potential.

Hey Ben,

Have your raising increased? Just curios about how your experiment is working out. Have you passed the $42 barrier?

Thanks Ben! I’ve been an Info Barrel member for about 3 weeks now, but still no dice on the auto approval. I’ll wait a few more days to hear from them and try sending another request.

I generally aim for about 400-600. All hubs are at least 400, but most turn out between 500-600. I’ve gotten too lazy to do 800 word beasts and I’ve found I still make money with shorter posts.
