Why I'm Deleting some of my Hubs...and Moving the Content to Squidoo

After the Google slap last month Hubpages changed some of their terms of use. And one of those was that you can only have 1 Amazon Capsule for every 50 words of content. They did this because they wanted to improve the standards on Hubpages, which is a good thing.  And I knew that since I have lots of hubs and over half of those hubs were product hubs that I would be spending a lot of time on updating my hubs.

I thought I would just add some content or simply remove some of the Amazon products. And this worked with product specific hubs but I found that this was almost impossible with my themed hubs. For Example my "Best Toys For 2 Year Olds" hub was all about giving customers choices of some of the best products. And I knew that people visiting the hub would want a variety of products to choose from. So after giving it lots of thought, I decided to move my content to Squidoo. Here is how the lens turned out.

Will I be doing this with all of my hubs. No, I just think I need to really look at each hub and try to update it first. But there is a good chance that I will be moving some to Squidoo so I can feature more Amazon products.

So in conclusion, I think Hubpages is a great place to write.  And I do really well with Google AdSense there, but for someone who wants to target Amazon, Squidoo might be the best place to write.

Redgage

I wanted to share with you a site that I have been enjoying lately called Redgage. Redgage is a content sharing site where you can upload and share your hubs. I have found that many other hubbers use this site as well.

I first noticed this site several months ago but lost interest with it. But last week a Facebook Friend suggested I go check it out again. They were getting excellent results and lots of traffic to their hubs. Plus they mentioned to me that I would also earn money at Redgage.

I am now also getting great results wiht Redgage and the people there are all really nice.

If you get a chance you really should go check out Redgage.

In August of 2010 I became a statistic and became unemployed. My company closed down and the entire staff got layed off. So after reality sunk in, I decided that while I'm looking for a job, I would take a hard look at Hubpages and the income potential that it had.

I knew that Hubpages wouldn't make me rich. And I knew that I would probably only bring in a few bucks a month, but my thinking was that any extra income from home would really help. I also knew that If I worked harder and buckled down I could get better results with my articles.

Thank you Hubpages!

I just checked my stats and yesterday was the best day Ever with Hubpages!

My Google Adsense was over $10 and My earnings with Amazon was over 29.00 = 40.00+!

Plus I sold a total of 36 (through my Hubpages, Squidoo and Blogs) items giving me a total of 191 so far month to date.

Some of you may know that I have been unemployed since July and it has been pretty hard financially. And in between looking for full time employment, I've been doing what I love.....writing. And it looks like my writing has finally paid off.

This is just what I needed today!
