Every once in a while an idea comes along that you believe will make you the next great internet millionaire. You think about it really hard, plan it out and know exactly how you are going to implement your great idea. The next thing you know it’s been a month since you had this great idea, you’ve done nothing with it, and can barley remember how exactly the idea was supposed to work. If I had a nickel for every million dollar idea, then I wouldn’t need million dollar ideas. The good thing is that if everyone acted on their ideas there wouldn’t be any left for the rest of us. So be glad that other people procrastinate and be happy that you are no longer going to procrastinate.

Now let me tell you what you won’t find on our site. You will not get a bunch of useless information that will not help you promote or finish your website. You also won’t find us ever trying to steer someone in the wrong direction because we are afraid of competition. The World Wide Web is an immense place where everyone should be able to succeed. Just remember us when that million dollar idea turns to gold.

First let me say that for the most part I really love hubpages but there is one reason that the community there is for the birds, and I will get to that in a moment.  But first lets me say that as a marketing tool it doesn’t get a lot better than hubpages.  You can build relevant links to your site for the keywords you are targeting and build just about any website up using only links from hubpages.  The owners have done a great job of building a world class platform for not only promoting other sites but for making a decent amount of money from the traffic you receive there.

So if you are unfamiliar with hubpages, it is a publishing platform that allows you to publish what they call a hub about any subject you choose.  So you choose some great keywords and write and article about that subject, add some relevant pictures or video and publish the hub.  If you have done a good job with the article it will get picked up very quickly by the search engines and you will get traffic.  The traffic equates to probably some of the best traffic on the internet and hubpages through one of their other sites has done a great job of optimizing the Adsense ads that appear on the site.  You get a share of the Adsense by adding your Adsense code and receiving 60% of the impressions.

I have published 60 hubs and make between 3 and 4 dollars a day with Adsense just from hubpages.  That may not seem like much but over the course of a year it is one less mortgage payment I have to worry about.  But more than the money is the opportunity to build relevant links to your site using great keywords.  The opportunity in that regard is worth thousands of times the amount that you will make with Adsense. 

But here is where the problem with hubpages comes in.  Hubpages is mostly a group of writers who don’t promote other sites and focus singly on their hubs for making money.  Not really a problem until you realize what a backbiting group of shit heads they really are.  I have made the mistake of calling out some of their self proclaimed experts and written a few hubs that showed the rest of the community why they shouldn’t listen to people who don’t understand what they are talking about.  These experts claim to be Internet marketers but barely understand how to make hubpages work and really believe that if they get a hub on the first page of google that they have accomplished something.  I have also written some hubs about pit bulls that offended the other half of the community.  And because of that every time I publish a new hub a group of these infants decides to flag it as too promotional or deceptive.  And I have to go through the trouble of resubmitting it and waiting 3 or 4 days for the owners to look at it and approve it once again.

This in itself is just a hassle and tiresome.  I don’t write spam and I don’t mislead or deceive anyone, so I find it offensive and childish.  But I know by know that that is what happens with most groups on the Internet.  I should just let it go and deal with the babies, but quite obviously I am getting annoyed with the situation.  But I know that to rise above the trash you have to be the better person and just let it go.  At least the children gave me an excuse to write another post for my blog.
