With my first hubpage experiment ending as a limited success* I thought I might add a second phase to this experiment. In it, I will try to actaully get my original hub (form here on out referred to as Hub-0) to actaully rank well for the main keyword I tried to target with the hub as well as earn some more money via Amazon affiliate sales.
*I had written an update post about this but it failed to get saved. I didn’t feel like rewriting it so I will give the dirty details here: I didn’t even rank in the top 200 for the main keyword I targeted but I did make $4.20 in the first 5 weeks of the experiment. So this made it a limited success in my view. Now back to this post about making money online with hubpages, phase 2.
Here is an enumeration of the goals:
- Rank in the top 10 for the original keyword targeted by Hub-0
- Increase earnings to a $1 a day from the all the hubs associated with this make money online experiment
Here is the process that I will be following:
- Create 10 additional “sub-hubs” that all target a related long tail of the Hub-0 main keyword
- Each of these sub-hubs will link back to Hub-0 with the keyword that the sub-hub targets as well as the main keyword for Hub-0 (for potential double indexing purposes)
- Related sub-hubs will also be linked together
- Do one article run on each of these hubs to give it some link juice
- In these runs, the article will have one link pointing to Hub-0 with the keyword of the sub-hub and one link pointing to the sub-hub with the keyword of Hub-0
- A run will consist of the following:
- One Ezine article
- One submission made through article submission software (probably Article Marketer but potentially Unique Article Wizard if I end up buying a subscription)
- There will be no official time limit to this phase of the experiment but I do hope to get one hub created per week once it gets rolling
This will be a much greater time commitment than my previous experiment so I hope that it gives me some nice results (hopefully greater than my $1 a goal). I think that if I can crack the top 5 results for the Hub-0 main keyword I could end up grossing $20-$50 a month from that page alone. Time will tell and I will definitely keep you posted on whether or not this experiment makes me some good money online.
