HubPages Expert

If you’re like me, then integrating your HubPages presence into your overall online business picture is hugely important.  For me, my goal is to create a portfolio of online income streams – all working together in a cohesive manner.  As such, HubPages is an important tool to accomplish these goals.

Funnel Traffic To Lucrative Sites

One way to integrate HubPages into your online business is to use it to funnel traffic to the appropriate sites.  If your goal is to sell a product via a specific landing page, then you can easily send traffic from your Hubs to this landing page.  If you are sending targeted traffic, this can be very lucrative.

If your goal is to build up the presence of another website or blog, then you can accomplish this as well.  By sending targeted traffic, you are increasing the visibility and brand awareness of your other website.  You might also promote the RSS feed specifically via your Hubs.

SEO & Backlinks

HubPages can definitely provide you with some additional backlinks for your other sites which can help SEO.  I’m of the opinion that HubPages is definitely beneficial in this regard, but it will not be your end-all solution because I think Google and other search engines can easily figure out what sites are easier to generate backlinks from (and frankly HubPages is one of the easy ones since you can write your own content for it!).  With that said, this doesn’t mean there isn’t value because there definitely is.  My HubPages profile is currently a page rank 3 which means I can get some PR3 backlinks from it.

Much more to come on integrating HubPages with your online business! Stay tuned!
