How I Increased My HubPages Traffic by 20% This Month

One of the biggest problems that I have had when writing is generating traffic. For some, I suppose it comes fairly easily. That is certainly not true for me. But I have been able to increase my HubPages traffic by a large margin this past month and would like to share with you exactly how I have been able to do it.

Ultimately, it is really a very simple process and I have used something similar to increase the traffic to my own blogs. In fact, those blogs combined have about half the amount of traffic as my complete complement of Hubs. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that they will eventually surpass the amount of traffic that I get with HubPages.

There really isn't any special trick or technique to getting more traffic whether at HubPages or any other website for that matter. It simply boils down to hard work and creating more content.

In the month of January, I have published a total of nine Hubs (this one is number 10). The views to those Hubs have contributed an additional 20% over and above the baseline traffic that I can expect month to month.

Furthermore, those Hubs are continuing to get additional views each and every day which simply adds to the baseline traffic that I should expect on a daily basis.

The same thing is happening at the blogs that I own. When I first started, a new article might get about 10 views. Then as time goes on and more regular readers begin to frequent the blog, a new article gets 50 views plus additional views daily. Add this up over 3 posts per week and the traffic can start to become substantial.

I have already written over 100 posts with my first blog and am up to 11 with my newest blog. Adding at a rate of 3 per week will mean that I will have an extra 300 posts by the end of this year meaning that my total number of articles will be almost 4 times what I have now.

Imagine if having four times the number of posts equates to four times the amount of traffic and four times the earnings.

Think about your own Hubs or blogs. Imagine that each article is like a stock in the stock market that pays dividends on a regular basis. That is what you are creating, a little income producing machine that will spit out earnings.

The more articles and posts that you have, the more you stand to benefit from them because they will attract more traffic which is the key to providing the opportunity for earnings. This is why you need to spend time building that portfolio of content on the web.

Some articles will be big hits. Others will be incredible duds. I have my share of those. That is why I am constantly writing. I want to find out what topics are important to my readers. I am getting better at figuring it out, but still need to practice. I would like over half of the articles I write this year to surpass an internal traffic goal that I have for each of them. We will see how it goes.

In the meantime, I will be working and writing much more this year. I want to get to over 400 Hubs by the end of 2012 in addition to over 250 posts on my main blog and over 150 on my newest blog. I will even consider a third blog later this year if I can meet other goals along the way.
