I have been writing at HubPages for a little over seven years. It seems like it has taken forever, but this morning my stats show that I have 990,085 views. At the rate I am going, I will reach 1,000,000 in less than two weeks. I am sharing this news because I am excited about it, and I know that the anticipation is the best part. Once I reach that milestone, I will only be looking ahead to the next million. Do you have any new accomplishments you would like to share?

My profile says I've been a member of HubPages for 9 years. My total views say 662,846. But that is thanks to one of my hubs that has 448,392 views alone. How long does it take you to reach the minimum there? For me it takes three months. Used to take me at least a half a year.

Almost 1/3 of my views are due to one hub. However, that hub is now getting a lot less traffic, and another has taken the number one spot. I got my first payout after about 4 months. After 8 months I was getting payout every other month. By the end of the first year, it went to every month. Is your top hub still getting traffic? Maybe you should try updating your hubs, improving titles can make a big difference in traffic. Try to include relevant words in the title that people would type into their search.

@norcal Yes, the top hub is still getting plenty of traffic. It's about MS Word keyboard shortcuts. I am not an expert of SEO. I think those that are, are the ones that do well traffic and earnings-wise.

@norcal My hub that has a huge number of views... I have no idea what I did that it gets that many views and from search engine traffic it seems, aside maybe from the fact that I wrote about something people always search for. I am assuming ms word keyboard shortcuts is a popular search,

@hereandthere I get mayby 1/4 of my income there from Amazon sales. I don't publish new articles very often at this point. Most of my earnings come from article I wrote a long time ago.

I have earned a little over $5000 in those years. It does take a lot of patience.

@norcal Do you only write about things people are searching for or things you actually want to write about as well regardless of whether many people search for it or not?

That is simply amazing. It is my guess you are good writer and can attract readers. Perhaps it is the time you have put into the site that has brought you success? In any event that is really great news for writers. I suspect there is a learning curve for anyone that would want to emulate your success. Congrats on your accomplishment.

It is a website where people can write articles that will be posted on the Internet. For people who do not want to have their own website or blog, they do not have to set up or maintain it. All they have to do is write, and they can make money if their articles attract Internet traffic.
