Hub Luv in the Magical Land of Hubpages #13
66
It has been a couple weeks since I have published a Hub Luv hub. At the end of the year, I decided that this would no longer be a weekly publication. One reason for this decision is that I intended to slow down on my publication schedule. I have less time than previously and I need to balance my schedule better, and to do that I needed to spend less time working on the hub luv hubs. Also, I only want to publish a hub luv hub when I feel that I have gathered together enough information to share, or if the information that I want to share is time sensitive. By doing this, I am trying to make best use of your time and mine.
Working on More SEO
SEO is so important in what we do, if we intend to make money doing it. It is one of the things that I have struggled with and I often hear others express having the same difficulties. Therefore, I am always reading articles about this subject, and run across hubs that cause me to think about it more thoroughly or differently. I have included a couple of them here for you to find your own golden nuggets of information.
cardisa brought up a good subject that we all need to consider in her hub, SEO: Making Your Sub-Domain Google Friendly Using Tags and Keywords. I will be looking at and reworking my profile taking her advice into consideration. Look at this hub and see what you think!
ktrapp delivered another valuable SEO lesson with her hub, 10 SEO Tips for Backlinks. If you have some questions about SEO and backlinks (and most of us do), I am sure that you will find this article very helpful!
I have found and continue to find that there is so much to learn as I continue on this journey into the Magical Land of HubPages and beyond. SEO has to be learned and researched, both of which take time... and as they say time is money. In order to help me in this area I have taken a short-cut that I documented in my hub, Learning the Foreign Language of SEO using Market Samurai. You may have already read this and if you have, please pardon the repost.
Spreading the Love!
This hub really has me thinking, wondering and pondering. Inquiring minds want to know! I know I certainly want to know more! It is written by dorsi, and is titled, Strange Sounds in the Sky from Around the World. A must read and watch! The video sent chills up and down my spine! I think I would like to hear this for myself, but then maybe not...
I have taken part in a couple of these, but after reading Melovy's hub, What is The Weekly Topic Inspiration, and Why Should You Take Part?, I know that I am going to have to check these out more often. We can all use the traffic, right?
tammyswallow recently wrote, Happy Birthday!! A Birthday Card for All Hubbers! Be sure to visit this hub and enter your birthday on the ever-growing list. Share your birthday with your hub family!
tammyswallow also published another hub that I almost hesitate to share with you. I must admit that I tend to live a very sheltered life - mostly because I am a home body, i.e. I don't get out much. Give me my computer and I'm pretty happy. I am publishing this hub while slightly blushing. I have never heard of this before, and I would have never imagined that they had competitions where this was done, but then again...I don't get out much. So without further ado, tammyswallow's hub, What Are Air Sex Competitions? This just might be spreading the love a little too far; what do you think? (Sorry, no pictures to illustrate this one!)
Is there a Perfect Hub?
Have you ever stopped to think what HubPages considers to be the perfect hub? I know I have! And I've seen lots of questions in the forums asking about number of words required for hubs, pictures, etc. And then this hub came to my attention, The HubPages Golden Standard: Elements of a Stellar Hub, and I knew this was the answer.
Helpful Hubs
We all struggle sometimes with writing and with knowing the right way to do things, especially when we are new to a given situation. This is true even for HubPages. Have you ever wondered what were some of the biggest mistakes made on HubPages, and if you were guilty of making those mistakes yourself? Relache has taken the guesswork out of this scenario with her hub, The 10 Most Common HubPage Mistakes.
RedElf wrote a great hub, Can I Earn Money Writing On HubPages? This hub is so packed full of information that I have read it twice and bookmarked it to read again in the future. It has lots of useful information and lots of great links!
Checking Out the Forums/Questions
Website Examiner recently started a forum post, Fiction Writers - Please Introduce Yourselves. If you are a fiction writer and want to be recognized as such, I would hop over to that forum and post.
Have you ever wondered, "It is okay to click on Amazon and Ebay capsules if we saw something that interested us, isn't it?" I know I have, and that is why I asked that exact question on HubPages. If you want to know what other hubbers thought, click here.
Have you ever wondered, "When we reply to comments on our hubs, are those visits registered by goggle? More specifically... .... does it affect our view duration statistics?" Again I did and asked the question. If you would like to know the responses to this question, click here.
WARNING!
If you are like me, you may have been adding something at the end of your hubs encouraging people to comment and vote on your hub. Just in case you missed the announcement, as of February 1st, these will no longer be allowed. See example on the right. Any hubs with these types of requests/graphics is subject to being unpublished by the HubPages staff. I had just spent a great deal of time adding them to all 160 of my hubs, and have spent and equally great amount of time removing them from each hub. Only a few more to go.
It's a Wrap!
That's it for this edition of hub luv! If you feel this hub was beneficial, please share.
And until, next time .... Happy Hubbing!

I love these Hublove hubs of yours.
Cindy my first comment is that you wasted such valuable time removing all 160 banners when you could spend a few minutes signing up the HP removal form and let them do it automatically for you...lol
This is such great hub, you have captured some very important topic here. I am off to read what it takes to get an A+ HUB...LOL
Almost forgot, thanks for including me...I am a sucker for attention! ha ha
justateacher - I'm luvin' that you're luvin! LOL. Enjoy them! Thanks for stopping by!
I LOVE THIS HUB! Bookmarked it.. voted it up and across!
Gonna read the rest of them!
Thanks Cindy!
FloraBreenRobison - Thanks so much!
Cardisa - i looked into the method that HP offered to remove them, and as I read it, they would not have been able to help me because of how I inserted them. I could be wrong, but that is water under the bridge now.
Good luck on your next A+ hub!!!
Thanks for stopping by and I was very glad to include you in my hub luv hub!
A great hub, full of other great hubs! This is a really good idea, and so nice that you are giving us tips like this. :)
Love your HubLuvs!

Rusticliving - Thanks so much for your kind words. It is good to know that these are indeed appreciated.
Hi Cindy
Your Hub Luv hubs are so interesting, well-written and valuable because they put, in one place, a summary of a number of other hubs that I always read because you write about them.
Thanks so much.
Moon Daisy - I am more than happy to share what info I can. As we help each other, HubPages becomes a better place. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Great hubs here, homesteadbound. I have about 10 tabs open on my browser for all the links you provided. Thank you, thank you. ;0) I'm feelin' some love!
brittanytodd - It's good to know that you found the answers to the questions interesting. That gives me another avenue to share info that people do not always see. It is so hard to get everywhere to find all the good info that is shared throughout Hubpages! Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy your reading!
Debby Bruck - Hello! Yes you did comment earlier and I am just working my way down to you. These hubs always draw lots of attention (and I love it) so I always have lots of comments to answer. I am glad that you too find them to be useful. Thanks so much for your kind words.
I love your Hub Luv hubs! It helps me catch up on some that I may have missed! Thanks! =]
Thanks for that! If it weren't for the hubluv of my fellow hubbers like you, I don't know where my poor little hubs would be right now. You are one of the best for supporting other hubbers and I thank you for it!
missolive - Thanks so much for stopping by! It is always good to see you. I know the banner thing was discussed several different places, but it never hurts to spread that kind a message a little more. It could save some people some grief, including the hubpages staff.
Millionaire Tips - Thanks so much for stopping by!

Melovy - I was very pleased to include your hub. Thanks so much for bookmarking and for stopping by!
Hi Cindy, That was an interesting answer in the forum re our page views 'counted' . I was just wondering about it today.
Nice to know that the view figures we get are just from other people and not doubled up because we are re-visiting out hubs to answer comments.
Good question and a great answer. hubluv strikes again.
cclitgirl - I hope you have been able to sort through all the hubs you had tabs opened for and I hope that you found them useful. Glad to share the hub luv!

A great hub as usual.
You raised some very interesting questions and many of us would like to know the answers.
The links you give are very useful
As far as removing the banners goes, mine were uploaded as images so all I did was to delete the image from my image file and that removed them, or seems to have done.
Thank you for sharing all this info
What another great hub luv hub! You are doing such an awesome job on these. Sorry I haven't had time to comment on all of them, but I have enjoyed reading them. Thanks! I am looking forward to the next one. :)
RTalloni - It is my pleasure. As long as they are considered useful or enjoyable, I will try to continue the tradition of hub luv. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I thought I had commented on here but don't see it, perhaps I didn't hit the button.
A very useful hub with some great links and information
Very interesting approach and a great hub.
Rosemay50 - yes you did leave a comment earlier and I am just getting to it. I get distracted doing other things and don't always get to all my comments right away, especially ones that get this many comments. I am pleased that you find these hubs useful. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, and I am truly glad you have decided to stay here with us!
A beautifully written, nice looking, helpful luv hub that has such helpful links, thanks.
I'm bookmarking this. I just know it's going to be more and more helpful as I refer to it and its links.

GoodLady - I am glad that you enjoyed the hub and thought it was good enough to bookmark. If you haven't checked out the previous hub luv hubs, you might find them to be useful also. thanks so much for stopping by!
SanneL - Thanks so much for stopping by! You know, when I have so much good material to choose from, the hardest part of writing the hub luv hubs sometimes is trying to make sure that I don't make the hub too long. The second hardest part is knowing that there are so many good hubs that I know that I have missed and should have been included. But until days are alot longer...
Thanks so much!
Brett.Tesol - Thanks so much for stopping by. Thanks also for your kind words and for sharing!
Thanks so much for mentioning my backlinks hub in your "working on more seo" section. I always enjoy seeing your latest edition of Hub Luv and particularly found the forum/question section helpful. I am going to check out that ebay answer since I have been wondering that exact same thing.
Hi homesteadbound
Thanks for spreading the hublove.
Voted up and away.
Have a good day.
ktrapp - I am always happy to include one of your excellent hubs in my hub luvs. I learn so much from you. It is good to know that you found the forum/question section helpful as I do intend to include more of those as I come across them. There is so much to learn and sift through that it is good to share a nugget when you find one. Thanks so much!

viking305 - I am glad that you find my list worthy to share with your followers. I too am always looking for ways to improve that is why I always come up with all these great hubs. thanks so much for stopping by and for sharing!
Hi Cindy ~ this is a great selection. I'm trying to go back and read more of your HubLuv hubs. I'm happy to say that I have read almost all of your mentions here. Funny about the encouraging people to vote on your hubs. The same day that I spent a couple hours making a pretty banner for myself, is the same day I heard it was going to be a no no :( Oh well, thanks for a great read here.
Sharyn
Sharyn's Slant - Unfortunately i had just spent so much time adding them to each hub, over 150 hubs, only to now have to undo them. Time wasted. Lessons learned. I'm glad you are finding these interesting enough to check out some past hubs - not sure how many more of these there will be. Thanks so much!
Cindy.. I love how you did this hub.. and call it luv hub.. I so admire you. thank you for the helpful hints..
Blessing to you
Debbie
I am glad that you enjoyed the hub, and was able to glean information from it. I guess we can have a mutual admiration society. You are quite welcome!
