What is Hubpages.com?
The Hubpages team was founded by three guys out of Microsoft that were part of the successful startup MongoMusic. The team includes Paul Edmondson, Jay Reitz, and Paul Deeds.
Many of you may have heard of Squidoo which is a competitor of Hubpages. Basically both of them are a ?free-hosted community of content producers?. Both Squidoo and Hubpages can be ?grouped? into the Web 2.0 movement ? where user generated content rules.
Both Squidoo and Hubpages SHARE REVENUE with their content creators (YOU). In my experience the revenue numbers are still low, but the opportunity is growing. (But as you will see throughout this report, there are MANY other reasons to focus on Hubpages vs. just the revenue sharing . . .)
One of Hubpages differences is in how they share profits with the producers of the content on this free hosting / Web 2.0 platform:
“Hubpages purpose is to provide easy-to-use tools and traffic to help anyone to produce content and monetize their knowledge by creating webpages. There will be monetization programs to choose from consisting of products, advertisements and lead generation tools that each person can easily incorporate into their pages. Hubpages will split revenue with the content creator. The pages are organized in the Hubpages website based on algorithmic quality index that promotes the best pages throughout the hierarchy (based on tags) of the website. Each author will earn a reputation score called a HubScore that can be referenced to meter the quality of the content by an author.
Hubpages will be positioned to take advantage of the significant numbers of new web content providers that want to supplement their income through content like many people do on eBay by selling goods. ”
The Hubpage Version
“Squidoo: We divide up the money we receive in a very public way. First, we pay our bills. That’s direct out of pocket expenses like rent and servers and salary and benefits expenses (our CEO doesn’t take a salary, and neither does our board of directors). Then, with no other deductions, we pay 5% of our post-expense revenue directly to the charity pool, 50% directly to our lensmasters and retain the rest to pay off investors and employees. ”
So, other than the obvious revenue sharing, is there any other reason to consider using Hubpages? YES! As Hubpages is starting to be considered an AUTHORITY by Google! By comparison, Squidoo also has a similar 'authority' status on Google ? though there have been some recent changes in Squidoo 'lens' rankings and a ?Squidoo Slap? (Link). So what does this mean? Google (and Yahoo and MSN) are ranking 'hubs' that are created on Hubpages for some competitive terms (money phrases)!
Developing content on Hubpages should become an important part of your overall web marketing / promotional strategies. In addition to your actual 'hubs' ranking on the various search engines, you can link directly to your other websites! And guess what? These backlinks are being 'counted' (as you will see later in this report). So Hubpages can help you strengthen your entire marketing presence and 'network of sites'.
OK, so now you know what Hubpages is all about ? so what will this report teach you?
If you have not worked with Hubpages in the past, this report has a detailed step by step guide to setting up and launching your first 'hub'.
If you are a more experienced 'hubber', this report will show you several features and marketing tricks that you (and your competitors) are probably not aware of.
You can use this step by step guide to help train your outsourcers / freelancers ? as Hubpages are easy to outsource!
So read this report then go run and build a 'hub'. Just reading this report will NOT increase your web traffic or make you any money ? you need to take ACTION. Web 2.0 properties such as Hubpages and Squidoo have become an important part of my overall traffic strategy and work well in any niche market! Remember your competitors are most likely NOT on Hubpages so it is still a 'land grab'.
