Hub Pages – Links & SEO in Scotland?

by seoibiza on 5, July, 2010

Lordy our blogging is like buses (in the UK & Scotland anyway) none come along for ages then several turn up at once. Well this weekend instead of blasting through the backlog and making a dent in the waiting list we’ve been mostly messing about over on HubPages.com

We’ve never bothered with it much before because the links from Hubs / Squidoo etc are generally pretty weak-arsed unless you either work on the hubs with external links or have time to write lots and lots of inter-connected and related hubs, and even then they still need  links built to them too to rank anywhere mildly competitive.

However a well written hub can be useful for driving targeted traffic to a new site as well as getting a decent link if you do it right, so we thought we’d knock up a hub explaining how to:

1. use hubpages to promote a new site

and also courtesy of some suppliers we just built a Link Wheel site for..

2. how to make a link wheel that works

And whilst there, got involved in a conversation that ended up with us having to attempt a pop at ranking for “SEO Scotland” of all things.  But you know us, we like a test shot every now and again anyway to keep us sharp.

So without further ado, let the  SEO Services Scotland testing commence..

Link popularity increases organically as your site becomes more popular. You have to start somewhere.

I hope to build some links to my site http://www.webbgear.co.uk, though competing with the established sites with 1000′s of links will be very hard if not impossible.

Hello David.

well there’s one for you then eh ;) in some cases link popularity “can” increase organically, in the vast majority of cases no-one else is as excited about your site as you are, enough to link to it..
