    12. HubPages is our online space to share advice, reviews, useful tips, opinions and insights with hundreds of other authors. Visit Idaho hub was implemented to pitch writers. History The site launched in August 2006 after collecting a $2 million investment from Hummer Winblad.[3] According to a report from Quantcast, HubPages has become one of the 200 most visited US sites on the Internet with more than 5.9 million unique views per month from the US alone and over 10.4 million unique views worldwide in 2009.[4] [edit] Structure HubPages is a user generated content site. Users (known as Hubbers) submit magazine-style articles which are posted as individual webpages (referred to as Hubs). Unlike some other user content sites, Hubbers retain all intellectual property rights to their Hubs, and can delete them at any time. HubPages earns revenue through Adsense ads which appear on Hubs. Hubbers can earn a share of that revenue if they have their own Adsense account. They can also earn income by adding their own eBay and Amazon.com advertising to their Hub (in these cases, Hubbers retain 100% of commission earned). HubPages is not a blogging site. A Hub is typically a discrete article, longer than a typical blog post and covering a specific subject in some depth. A Hub is not continually added to over time like a blog (although Hubbers often "tweak" Hubs to improve their earning capacity or to update information). A Hubber who wished to write several posts about a single subject would be more likely to write separate Hubs and interlink them using the "Group" feature.[5] [edit] Competitors HubPages' main competitor is Squidoo, which has a very similar business model. HubPages differs from Squidoo in that it will not allow overly-promotional Hubs (i.e Hubs which are written solely to promote a single product or service), and its "HubScore" system heavily penalises duplicate content (articles that are already published elsewhere on the internet). Some Hubbers find these measures restrictive, but it has prevented the spamming problems experienced at Squidoo, and helped to maintain the quality of the site. Knol is a similar site run by Google HubPages is our online space to share advice, reviews, useful tips, opinions and insights with hundreds of other authors.
