Melinda's Wahm Blog

Okay, this last week I wasn’t able to add any new hubs. In fact, I haven’t done much work at all for myself during the past 7 days. I have no excuses, I think I just needed a break. This means I still have 11 more days to get 9 hubs done. I can do it. My mind feels refreshed and ready to go. It’s also nice to see the activity in my Hubpages account after not doing anything in it for 7 days so I’ll get into all that during this week 3 overview. If you missed it, here are my week 1 and week 2 overviews.

So far, 22 of my 23 published hubs have been indexed by the big G. That’s exciting to me because last week I had only 13 indexed. So they are getting indexed slowly but surely.

Earnings & Impressions

I’m happy to report that my earnings are higher this past week than the previous week, but it’s still only a whopping $1.20. I received 176 Adsense impressions during the 3rd week. A little discouraging but probably still okay for just getting most of these indexed this past week. I’m also not targeting really valuable keywords and I am using most of my Hubs as backlinks to other sites and getting paid for that is a nice bonus.

Number of Views

Over the past 7 days, I have a total of 307 page views across all the hubs. Last week I had 137 views so that has increased nicely.

Traffic Sources

Here is the actual screen shot of my traffic sources:

Traffic is up across all sources and Squidoo, Google UK and Google AU were new sources of traffic during this past week.

What I’ve Learned This Week

• I didn’t post any new hubs and my hubber score increased up to 86 from its previous score of 80.
• The hubs are taking anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to get indexed by Google (mostly by me doing nothing else but simply publishing them and getting them out there for search engines to find).

To Do for Next Week

Over the next 11 days, I will be publishing the remaining hubs – 9, so I will have done 30 in 30 days. I will still post another update next Wednesday with my progress and then another update on day 30 of my challenge.
