Providing content for other websites
September 23, 2007
I have been going a bit mad with Hubpages, writing more articles than I normally would with my websites. I suppose that in some way I am restricted on the themes I can write articles for on my websites and after a while it is easy to get stale.
With a site like hubpages, you can write about just about anything. It seems that there are a few “newbies” there looking to make a buck online, so it is easy to write stuff for them. Things like, getting traffic to your site, affiliate programs etc. It is also a way to get some new links to your websites and a little bit of traffic.
The question is however, how much time should you be spending basically creating content for another website. This is a difficult question. If you have a hugely popular website, you probably wouldn’t bother with trying to get traffic from a site like hubpages and would spend all of your time on your own website. If you are like most of us, you probably need to spend quite a bit of your time writing comments on other blogs, participating in forums and writing articles on other websites to get extra links and traffic.
The advantage of writing content on another site like Hubpages or Squidoo is that it will get indexed by Google very quickly and if the keywords are not too competitive, it might even be easy to rank for some long tail phrases. It’s probably a good idea not to put your best articles up on another website, but perhaps write a teaser article that links to your website to get people to click through. If you just want to make money, include plenty of affiliate links.
Unfortunately for me I haven’t made any affiliate sales yet, but I am having fun with it for now, so will stick with it for a bit more.

Got something to say?
Yes you are right, Squidoo and hubpage are very popular in SEO marketing to make money online. However, the problem is it is not easy to select the right keywords, target on the correct market for your products or affiliate. At least, at this moment, this is quite challenging for me.
I would disagree unless the pages you are creating are average at best. I think a much better option would be to write a quality article for a bigger blog and let them post it with credit. It would be much more likely to bring traffic and would get indexed just as well if not better, plus you are much more likely to get rss readers out of it if it captures the readers attention. Just my 2 cents….
