In 2010, the site consisted of 1.5 million lenses as of October 2010.On August 15, 2014, founder Seth Godin announced that HubPages had acquired Squidoo. CEO Paul Edmondson also tells me that he’s raised a cool 2 million. Squidoo was a revenue-sharing article-writing site. Berkeley based Hubpages, which we wrote about in February, launched today.
I’d like to get some Passive Income Stream building sites up on Hubpages as well but that’s a task for another day. Hubpages Launches, Gets 2 m from Hummer Winblad. So, my mission these past couple of days has been to get that link back onto my Hubpage sites and also to add this blog to anything related to Dividend Stocks, Investing or Frugal Living. Dailytwocents is a free to use website like HubPages where you can create an account and start writing for some money. My online strategy is to have a bunch of interrelated sites connected by one theme (the niche), but I’ve been missing a key component of this for the past couple months. Within a Squidoo Lens and a Hubpage you are able to place aspects such as links, images, text and RSS feeds as well as videos, all of which can be used as means. With no limitation on what you can earn and how much you can post, Infobarrel is certainly one of the best sites like HubPages to consider writing for. Which means that all my English teaching and Korea related Hubpages have not been providing me with backlinks to this blog: My Life! Teaching in a Korean University, which has reduced traffic and quite likely Google search rankings as well. One thing that I didn’t notice until a couple of days ago was the thing on Squidoo that I called the “superlink,” which means that you could feature 1 link to another site and it would really stand-out amongst all the other stuff didn’t transfer over to Hubpages. These pyramid type businesses promise lots of possibilities for the future, but once the future becomes present, we are suddennly finding that the small print has changed, the pay rates.
After some initial annoyance getting all the details sorted out, it’s actually been pretty painless and it provided me the motivation I needed to get my sites updated because Hubpages seems to have stricter content standards than Squidoo (they’re serious about spammy stuff!). If we were, we would be getting a higher percentage payout from companies like Hubpages, Squidoo, Bubblews, and many others that we get paid from for blogging. Squidoo shut down their doors a couple of months ago and moved all my content over to Hubpages.
