http://greekgeek.mythphile.com Adventures in Blogging and Article Writing (since 1993) Tue, 26 Apr 2016 15:56:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/09/quick-check-in-year-stats/ http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/09/quick-check-in-year-stats/#comments Mon, 21 Sep 2015 22:51:41 +0000 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/?p=2808 I’ve been enjoying writing for my own sake, being active on social media, and not worrying about traffic. From time to time I stop by Hubpages and add a new article or edit some old ones. I’ve started a new blog recently, vhswhovian, which is probably of interest to exactly one of you who knows what […]]]> http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/09/quick-check-in-year-stats/feed/ 0 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/01/greekgeeks-thoughts-about-hubscore-on-hubpages/ http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/01/greekgeeks-thoughts-about-hubscore-on-hubpages/#comments Tue, 06 Jan 2015 21:33:28 +0000 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/?p=2796 Many Hubpages members are anxious about Hubscores. I feel almost the same way about them as I did about Squidoo points and levels: they’re in-house metrics that have no bearing on my success as an online writer. From time to time, I’ll glance at my dash to see which of my articles Hubpages scores as the […]]]> http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2015/01/greekgeeks-thoughts-about-hubscore-on-hubpages/feed/ 1 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2014/09/useful-advice-from-hubstaff/ http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/2014/09/useful-advice-from-hubstaff/#comments Fri, 26 Sep 2014 19:00:44 +0000 http://greekgeek.mythphile.com/?p=2765 So, the transfer from Squidoo to Hubpages has been a mixed bag. While some lensmasters are reporting good results (including me, so far), others are watching their traffic dry up and wither away. On top of which, a major Panda update just rolled out. Paul Edmondson has some really, really good advice on affiliate links.

As expected, HP is transferring accounts a bit at a time, with early opt-ins getting early transfers. Relache reports on how her lenses looked after import and what happened to modules that work rather differently on HP.

What determines their order? Yep! By default, they’re sorted according to [Hub]Score, but there’s lots of other ways to sort & filter.

I have been next to useless on that site for the past year. So take anything I say about Hubpages with a grain of salt. That said, I may have learned a few useful things.

Squidoo launched its “responsive” layout on Friday, December 7, 2012, hoping to cash in on the skyrocketing use of mobile devices to browse the web.
