Any ways to drive targeted traffic to hubpages besides search engines? Hey, been on hubpages?

Yes you should get a twitter account and start to use it to post your hubs to. Link this with your Facebook account and kill 2 birds with one stone. This will help you get backlinks to your hubs.

You should also really focus on SEO techniques. The way in which you use your keyword is very important. I have 2 article written here just for Hubbers to get a better understanding of how this all works.

If you only do these two things you should see a pretty good improvement in traffic. Bookmarking is also a great thing to do but only bookmark your own work if it is something really good. hubpages.com/hub/Do-You-Tweet-Your-Hubs-....

First you need some SEO optimization and need to get to first page of google and yahoo for start. This is best way for targeted traffic. Other thing you can do is submit to social networks (Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon...).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
