I would say that 90% of my hubs went on first page on google for targeted keywords within 24 h after publishing and they are still on top. But what I like the most is that hubpages has recently started organizing hubs. For example, if you "google" for "furniture moving blankets", my hub is #3 in natural search. But when you click on it, hubpages will display 2 of my hubs for this topic. It's cool! What I really miss on hubpages is the "transfer" feature. And I don't know, maybe it's just me, but after all, I think squidoo lenses look more stylish and colorful, am I right? Just compare a hub and a lense for the same topic
