Basics:
Hubpages is a commonly used web 2.0 property for marketers. Pages created on Hubpages rank well, and so do the Hubpages tag pages. Hubpages is very comparable to Squidoo, as it is easy to create, easy to rank, and easy to maintain.
The main difference between Hubpages and Squidoo is that Hubpages only allows you two links, and they must point to different pages. Squidoo allows you to put as many links as you could possibly want to put into your lens, but Hubpages is much stricter and will only allow you to place two links on your page, and they must point to different URLs; not domains, but different pages.
Hubpages are often deleted, banned and de-indexed as they are quite strict about what they allow. For this reason, I do not focus heavily on the use of Hubpages, but I do use Hubpages for short term promotions.
Strategies for Maximum Benefits:
With Hubpages, because you cannot link directly to an affiliate offer, and you can’t link directly to a review page or pre-sell page (because Hubpages finds it “too promotional”), you must find some way to link to a non promotional page
and you must find a way to make money from that non promotional page.
What I personally do, is I link to a page on a blog with an article, or a summary of the product I am promoting. I make sure the page I link to does not encourage others to purchase the product, but is instead purely informational.
I still get some Hubpages deleted, but that is why I use software to create it for me, so it does not really matter if they are deleted. The point is, by linking to pages that are purely informational, but still related to a product, Hubpages will allow the Hub to be created AND you can make money from it.
When using Hubpages, do not focus on getting your Hub to rank, as out of all the Web 2.0 sites, Hubpages is the most likely to be deleted and therefore it’s ranking power is useless.
Hubpages should be used purely to give added link juice to your money sites. That way if the Hub you create gets deleted, then you don’t lose a ranking in the search engines.
Hubpages is so strict that it using Hubpages is not nearly as effective as other Web 2.0 properties. However, it still can be used to your benefit. The key is to not focus on Hubpages, or else you will be spending a lot of time on something that will not bring you great results.
