How HubPages Gets You High Ranking in Google

As an online marketer, getting traffic is important to making money. High ranking on Google should always be foremost on every marketer's mind - especially when you are a brand new marketer. However, setting up a site is not enough to draw the traffic. Search engines love sites that provide new content on a regular basis.

This is why high ranking sites, like social networking sites are helpful to marketers.There are other sites as well that are favored in Google's eyes.

One useful and free tool online that marketers can use to raise their rank in Google and get more traffic to their website is HubPages. This very site you are reading this article from - how did you find it?  There is a good chance you found it through a Google search.  HubPages is another user provided content site.  It is similar to setting up a lens on Squidoo, but there are a few differences.

First, just like with a lens, your Hub Page will need a title that uses your keywords. Remember that relevant keywords are how the pages get found. Not all keywords will perform as well for you.  Do your keyword research.  Market Samurai is is a great keyword tool.  This will tell you not only potential for earning, but competition and traffic as well.

For example, the word "chocolate" gets over sixteen million global monthly hits, while the phrase "Godiva chocolate" gets less than fifty thousand global monthly searches. But the lesser-searched keywords also means fewer competitors.

Include keywords in your content, too. You have to be careful that you are not over the top in promoting your own or any other website.  Most of the time if you write about a topic naturally, adding keywords where it seems appropriate, you should not have a problem with this.

Any Hub that seems like overstuffing with the same words may take a hit in scoring and could get shut down. You will get a chance to fix your mistake and resubmit the page but you want to avoid the hassle if you can.

You can pretty much use your HubPages to promote your site and gain ranking in Google, but you have to be aware of the rules for using the site. Be sure you read the current rules on the site. One rule is that you can't have more than two links to the same site.

No matter how eager you are to get started, be careful that you don't create a lot of pages with sloppy content in a short amount of time with links pointing to the same site. If you do that, search engines will assume youíre spamming. Be natural and provide value.

Bottom Line

The purpose in writing the content of course is to use Hub Pages to get the traffic to come to your site. Content that's duplicated from another site (or if you've written the content before) is a no-no on a Hub Page.

Just like Squidoo, Hub has an excellent Page Rank with Google and that means by setting up pages on their website, you get to ride their coattails right up into a higher ranking by using their popularity.
