Day 4 - Hubpages

After spending some time on Squidoo, I decided to look around for some other sites that are similar, and found HubPages. It is somewhat different from Squidoo in that it is much simpler, and tends to have a bit more focus in the content.

For example, the hub Off-the-Wall Holidays: January 2008. The author has put some time into creating the hub, and it is mostly text, but it does include a few ads. The profit is shared between the hub creator and Hubpages, but unlike Squidoo, your account (Amazon, Adsense, etc.) is credited immediately. I like the fact that the content is more user generated, and it also has the added feature of creating "requests", which are then answered by other hubbers. The only downside I have seen (and maybe I just don't know how to do this) is that the pages aren't as easily 'linked' by subject or topic as they are on Squidoo, but the quality when you find a topic is generally high. Of course, there are always the poorly created pages!
