To Increase Traffic Fast You Need to Add the Right Sort of Links to Your Writing
78Increasing Traffic Online: Many Ways to Do This
Adding a link to a hub is easy. Adding several links to a hub is a bit harder. You need to increase traffic, and you need to do this with high quality links, which take time. You will use article directories and other means such as social networking sites, which are all pretty basic, and you need to do these.
This Is basic good business practice for anyone on hubpages. There is a good way to do it and a not so great way to do it. Linking correctly between hubs will help increase traffic to different hubs and increase the chances of making money. Linking from outside of one particular online writing site is crucial as well. You must first begin with a high quality hub-- also known as a fine hub.
Links also have another purpose. That is with making money and Google, more to the point Google AdSense. At first you might wonder why I would mention two things which do not seem related, but really having links and getting traffic is all part of a bigger picture.
Linking means Increase traffic
I have have 10 hubs.. why would I want links? They are doing just fine: Okay the first reason for adding links is two-fold one to increase traffic between these hubs and two if you get more traffic then you will usually see more money.
When putting in links it is best to put in links that related to the hub or online article you are writing. This provides the most potential to get people moving between hubs. So let's use the example of these 10 hubs, so 2 of them are about writing, one of them is about making money, three of them are about animals, one is about the environment and one is a product review of bracelets, one is on a current world event, and the last one is about Google and SEO.
Your newest one is about say, about the Internet and the way it drives people farther apart.
Now how would you link these hubs or at least one of your hubs to this new hub? it is simple in a way, but at the same time some find it hard.

Internet and Links and Focus For Increasing Traffic
In the case above, what makes the Internet Drive people apart, well sometimes it is writing and sometimes, it is because of what people are specifically looking for in your hubs. You have published a hub for a specific purpose and unless you want to be publishing hubs for the rest of your life, you need to think and to consider keyword research and also search engine optimization.
Still, for many people the writing that an online article has can make the difference of whether they will stay or go. So, in this case you could focus on how writing drives people apart, by misunderstandings or by what you focus on: making money fast at the expense of others.
This one has some leeway, I can focus the topic and say, that if the writing is bad, it will drive people away from you, and then add the two hubs on writing as links. On the other hand I can focus on the idea that because we have Internet our environments suffer. A link for the environment hub. this is taken in conjunction with the use of a keyword research tool such as Google AdWords or any other one out there. Again, you work with the information you want to give but also with what people will use as terms on the search engines.
So while you don't want to tailor the topic to make a link, you can fix the focus so that the link ends up being something that people might click on. This is the hardest way to do it, but if you have several hubs which don't interrelate, this is the simpler solution. This is also a way to increase traffic, when you focus a few good quality fine hubs and links them together and also link them from outside of hubpages.
Where to Begin?
The easiest way to add links to a new hub is to plan to write another hub with a topic that you have already written about. Taking the example above, you have many hubs on different topics which will probably not interrelate well, but let's say you are really knowledgeable about Google and Google AdSense and SEO.
Well, there are a number of people who would go through links to find some helpful answers to their questions on SEO and Google. In this case try writing a hub and then linking your Google hub to that new hub, and then...
Link the new hub to your older hub on Google. Then begin a process, that will interlink all your hubs. That is the first step, usually it takes about 20 hubs interlinked before linking makes a big difference, but you can speed up this process.

Good Linking will help get you traffic, but not always money: If you want to make money you need links and you need good links. There are at least three or four places that you can go to to get a few links for your hubs outside of hubpages which will help get traffic to you hub.
1) Social Networking Sites: Stumble Upon, Digg, FaceBook, and others that will help a lot. This will bring in traffic but of course for some this does not mean money. Still a link on these sites is a must.
2) Sites such as your blog or your websites: Put a link to some of your hubs on your blogs and websites. Better yet if you have a blog put it as a link on a post, this will create traffic from your blogs to your hubs, and if done correctly will increase traffic to all your hubs.
3) Sites Where you can add a link: e-zine articles is a good one, but also red gage and sites of the same nature. These will add links, but be advised that you'll need to keep a close eye on your content with these sites.
4) Email Signatures: I can't say how often people look at my email signature but I've used my blogs and my hubs below my name and it has made a difference in traffic. Not much but it is a link anyways.
Now these will not make you money, but will get your traffic and do look good on the search engines, so then the next step is easy.
I should Interlink my hubs
See results without votingOnce you've decided upon a topic, see what links of your and others you can add to your link capsule. Use the keywords you are thinking of say increase traffic or writing or business. the search the hubs on hubpages to get an idea of what people have written but also what you have written on the topic.
You can focus on a particular hub you want others to look at and if it really does not "link" with your hub correctly you can also add a link capsule below the comment section which says something like " To read more hubs of mine...: and add some of the hubs you have.
It is always best to have several hubs on the same topic but these are a few ways you can drive traffic between your hubs.
To your success.

I have started doing more linking and it does help! Now, I am trying to understand social networking sites.
Better Yourself-- yes teh social networking sites, done correctly of course are great to use, and if you use them well it helps others to, but it is time consuming to get the foundation you need.
great hub! Informative and really helpful. Social networking sites like twitter and facebook are great tools for getting traffic
Don-- yes teh concept of 10 hubs has been mentioned a lot around here, a few hubbers will suggest that 30 interlinked hubs which have a common thread is the best for google. All of them seem to work great with teh social networking sites as well.
Neil-- I use it and so do a few others, the biggest thing about it is the time factor, it takes time to get to where you want it to go.
Rebecca, good Hub about interlinking. I really believe in the concept of writing a minimum of 3 Hubs, preferably about 10, on a similar topic and then linking. And then write on Hub which gives a summary. I think this summary Hub could be the most powerful one to link to the external sites such as Digg, etc. Linking really is fun!
I like what you have to say and I will try your approach and see what happens. thanks
thebuckleshop-- you are most welcome, happy this helps.

Excellent! Now I get it!!

Rebecca, thank you. Your practical tips are really useful. I sometimes forget the links when I finish a hub because I am so happy to see it finished. When I realize this I am really happy again that there is en EDIT button. Thanks again, you make me keep my feet on the ground.
tony-- to get more traffic to your site, try putting it on the social netwroking sites as well as writing hubs and e-zine articles.
Dave353--- links are a lifeblood, they make people move, and search engines love the as well... so there you go. Content is a must, but I think links come in a close second.
hay i own a site peeptallk.com could i pay u to get mre traffic to www.prrptallk.com
Excellent information. I think we can get caught up in building Hubs with great content but we forget the most important part which is getting links. Thank You. Bookmarked...
kaja_mel-- I will keep up the good work... won't leave any time soon =)
Keep up the good work Rebecca, we need you.
Tonymac04-- as always this comments makes my hub fell like it has "arrived" you and shirley and juneaukid have that effect they aren't teh same without you guys commenting.
Shirley-- i swear I spend most of my time fixing up my older hubs with links, I wasn't a big believer of links and their valuie when I first began but really this is sooo true.
Very useful information. Thank you. Bookmarked.
Love and peace
Tony
Great advice, Rebecca, will help clear the confusion for a lot of people, I'm sure. I still have a lot of hubs that are awaiting some interconnected link love themselves.
bizwoo-- you are most welcome always ahpy tp help in anyway I can.
Thank you for the good advice. Especially for new hubbers like me.
viryabo-- exactly, that is a great beginning and that will help traffic a lot. that is the way to go! it is time consuming but very helpful
Tammy-- you are most welcome thanks!
fdoleac-- I suppose with link chains done correctly they have merit, but if it is overused then no.
The voice-- as always it is my pleasure. I suspect it comes from helping others on huboages.
sage-- my pleasure in helping others, if it simple then that is great.
Though i had started doing this, i just link in a couple of my other related hubs, and i think that will be sufficient.
From reading this great article, i now know it needs to be taken more seriously.
Thanks for sharing this Rebecca. Rated UP.
Cheers.
another great advice hub!
Very informative post. I have also seen link-chains. Do those have merit?
well detailed first rate hub sharing thanks
Very easily explained. Thank so much for sharing this great information. Sage
JannyC- frankly it might not make money, but it will sure get traffic and people re-reading hubs because of it, and that is teh foudation to getting money, so in a long drawn out way this will help get you money in the end.
True Blue Tips--- not a problem I am gald to see this helps others, welcome to hubpages.
BevsPaper-- it really does, not just hubpages but on say e-zine and bloge and other online writing sites.
samboiam-- not a problem always happy to help out, that is what makes it great people enjoying it. Wow really a whole section for me?? thanks!
hello my dear-- of course i shall, but yes traffic is needed and is the lifeblood of any hubs, but then so are links and other pieces of the puzzle.
as always
Csjun89- yes there is a sort of maximum to how many links work, I find that if it is in a capsule you can get about5 and really no more, but also adding other hubs gives that "energy" last a bit longer as well.
I can attest this does work. I had started to do this awhile back. In just reading Rebecca's hubs I caught onto this realizing in what she was doing. I not only read but study people's style too to learn a few things that can improve my own writing. We all learn from each other I say. I saw this trademark in her hubs and I saw the reasoning and it kind of made sense to me so I tried it mentioning my other hubs on the same topic that kind of fit together and I have noticed new people who see the new hub do go back and read the other hubs I listed in my new article. Not sure if it gave me money but it did boost traffic and I'm happy with that as well.
For someone new to hubpages, I appreciate the information. Thanks for sharing.
Very good advice on adding the right links and this fits no matter what platform you write on.
I have bookmarked so many of your hubs I think I am going to give you your own category.
Thanks for sharing.
Love of my life...
Very well written and helpful as always, babe! Traffic is the life of a site! No traffic, no bread! I have Bookmarked, rated up and Stumbled this hub! I am very proud of you! Keep up the good penning!

Your sunshine,
Al
P.S...I know you´re busy, but do not forget to pay a visit to your sunshine´s hubs, Si? Gracias!
A good hub on linking!
I've also found that within your main text passage, it is best to limit the maximum outgoing links to 2-3 to preserve the 'link energy'
juneaukid-- as always thanks for teh comment, doesn't feel right without your okay.
loriamoore-- he he sure and I tell them too. I am certain to find some new ones to tell sooner or later!
Mike-- I beleive it will, I know I did the same thing plan a hub and then another, until I relized how many hubs I couldn't link together, then began teh editing the long way...
hello hello-- you are most welcome, always happy to help out.
drbj-- it is my links that are big for traffic, and they are needed in as many places as you can do that.
James-- thanks so much for teh comment, I am happy you've read this.
Specialk3749-- that's great to hear, yes linking is vital between hubs and anywhere else for that matter, just head to share it, and then choose say Digg and follow intructions there.
Anonemuss-- you are most welcome, I try to keep it simple as they say. thanks so much for the comment.
wolfpak5-- you are welcome. thanks
Dobson-- thanks again for the comment!
Again a very informative and useful hub. Thanks, Rebecca!
Rebecca, you should just write my hubs for me -- you know all the tricks! Tee-hee. Thanks again for this helpful info.
I've started to think in terms of writing hubs or blogs with several related topics in mind--I know, I should have been doing this from the beginning but for so long, I just wrote about whatever was on my mind. It is more difficult to do and requires more thought and planning, but hopefully it will help.
Thanks Rebecca--we are running out of ways to express how helpful your hubs always are!
Mike
Another excellent hub. Thank you for your help.
Rebecca - you provide a public service when you remind us how important linking is in order to increase traffic and potentially, income.. Thanks
as always well written and informative, great job.
Because of your advice, I have started doing more linking and it does help! Now, I am trying to understand social networking sites. :-) Thanks again!
Very Good hub about linking your articles together. Good explanations and very informative.
