I've been spending a little time making some Hub Pages, which has an equally crappy and frustrating editor (but enough about that). Hub Pages are either a cheap or expensive form of "free" web hosting, depending on how successful your so-called "Hubs" are. The deal is that they put their ads on 40% of your pages that are served, while your ads get the other 60%.
If you get few page views this is fine, but if your pages actually get lots of Google traffic that 40% cut for Hub Pages can turn out to cost lots more that the six bucks that conventional web hosting costs. The flip side of this is that there is an actual "community" over there and a certain amount of traffic will be thrown your way just by posting on the Hub Pages domain. Also, the PR6 page rank for the domain will throw a little authority love your way for the Google SERPs.
That's if you can get your Hubs indexed by the mighty G. I've written four Hubs so far this week, and only one has snaked its way into Google. I'm interested in a sort of academic way as to why that particular post got indexed while the others haven't. I'm sure they'd get indexed fast enough if I "digged" them, but since I haven't even signed up to show ads on Hub Pages yet, I'm in no hurry.
The one page that did get indexed was an informative an beautifully written post about Warren Buffett books. Undoubtedly Mr. Buffett and his Berkshire Hathaway can get along fine without me, but I've made Warren -ology a sort of hobby.
Another post, totally unrelated of course, was about the 10 greatest race horses of all time. Another hobby of mine. Secretariat, Man o' War, Seattle Slew, they're all there.
One last one, and I'll wrap this up. As you probably know, Hasbro's Risk, the game of world domination requires careful thought and strategy if you want to win. I'm sure many of you want to know how to win at Risk. My excellent strategy Hub will give you the 411.
Sorry for the lame post, loyal readers, but you make money types will understand what I'm doing here.
