your pages (hubs) in huibpages rank according to competition. If you are posting a hub in a low competition topic .. i mean a topic for which there are low search results, your hubs wll rank higher. Also the inlinks to your hubs is also taken into account. More the inlinks higher the ranking. Stumbling and digging hubs is a good idea.
I'll try hubpages today for the first time. I was thinking about squidoo but this thing with no follow got me thinking? How long does it takes for it to be lifted? Is it eventually lifted with all articles?
For a person who keep on writing and providing quality articles, Hubpages seems to be the best. Most of the people earn from Hubpages rather than using Squidoo. Unlike squidoo lenses, your hubs can be more and more in number and you can make at least a few cents from each hub. So how much can you earn if you have some good 50 or 100 or more hubs. You don't need to wait for completion of page views or thousand impressions. You will get paid for your click through rate if your keywords really worth (especially, if you are using adsense or similar programs).
Those are great comparisons, thanks for sharing. it would be great to add link building value hubpages/squidoo comparison in those articles, also.
From all conversation we can little expect that hubpages are better but many guys optimistic approach. Neither say its better nor say its bad. Question is even questioned who is better?
Yes Hubpages do rank high and at better position than squidoo lenses but yet you just can't advertise your website at hubs which you can do while creating squidoo lens you have an access of advertising your products too. May be as hub pages moderate the content sharply they are been ranked better as compared to squidoo lenses.
