Matty, it comes down to something called domain authority. What happens is that when you have a LOT of content is that google starts to rank you for those keywords and this gives you more trust in googles eyes. Now with a single blog about say “fireworks”, if you have a lot of content about different types of fireworks, over time google will rank your fore the term “fireworks + other keywords”. Anything related to fireworks your site will have trust in google’s eys. With a site like hubpages, there are literally like 500,000 different articles and hundreds of thousands of topics. This means that hubpages has a lot of trust in googles eyes about pretty much every topic.

If you create a hub, you get instantly ranked and start to receive instant traffic. WIth your own articles on your own (new site), you won’t get instant traffic. Basically hubpages is a shorter route to making money. You can make money by creating your own sites, but you are going to have to send backlinks and wait months to get the same results.

Your articles though a little explicit on the words came a ton of advice about how to monetize. I read the comments of the hubber who wrote 1025 hubs and was earning $7.00 daily. He was not too inspiring as I have written over 400 and was looking to get up to 1000. With your insightful advice with virgins at your feet, I was once again inspired to write but to select topics that has more public interest and relevance. Thank you for this most usefuly advice.

Ben - can you email me? I’ve got some hubs to share with you and want your opinion on if I’m being an idiot or not. I’m almost to my 100 hubs in 30 days (Friday is my deadline) and am unsure of my choices/writing.

Ben just wanted to say I effin’ love your blog. We share the same name too, so I guess if I ever want to do a MMO niche blog I’ll have to be sure not to cuss a lot so people don’t confuse us, eh?

Love reading about your experiments and your insane can-do attitude: very inspiring mate.

@venn
With an attitude like that, no wonder you are failing to make any money. Instead of learning from your mistakes, you are giving up. I’m also quite skeptical that with thousands of articles you are making .60 cents a day — that’s statistically unlikely, unless your account is smart priced, you are writing about wrong topics, or/and only getting social traffic. And your conclusion with articles and backlinks is flatly wrong. Websites and articles naturally get higher and stronger rankings as time passes. Now, initially your page may rank high because of the fresh content bonus, but then slips down a few days or weeks later. This can be counter by backlinks.

Why am I bothering to answer this question?

work sucks, i have been doing this since oct of last year on a number of different sites including xomba, infobarrel, hubpages, blogs (hundreds of them) my own sites, ppl programs, affiliate, i literally have thousands of articles on the net and i do not make any money.. i make maybe on avg 60 cents a day with adsense, it has been a huge waste of time and the reason for this is that articles, after time, die out in the search engines and get lost and no matter how many backlinks you get, it doesnt help because it is like swimming upstream against a fast moving current.. working 12 hours a day for (maybe) 40 dollars a day, that is not going to last, just isnt worth it in my opion, but good luck with your efforts

Wow thanks for the quick reply! Okay i get it now. I am planning to do as you did in your 30 day hubpage challenge, and i thought it was really necessary to support everything with a farm.

So if I’m not mistaken, these 200-400+ hubpages will only be supported by links from ezine, squidoo, etc… and also interlinking same niche hubs? Can you suggest a solid link building strategy for this?

Thank you once again! You are now my new MMO idol! hahahaha
