How quickly do HubPages get spidred?

I wrote earlier about accepting the 100 HubPages in 30 days. So I’m writing lots of Hubs each day. Of course a major motivation was to get backlinks. Another was just to get better at writing fast and reusing content.

I have had to come up with ideas of what to write rapidly and that has been very useful. I even ended up remembering a most wonderful teaching story. It is the HubPage I prefer out of the seventeen I have written so far.

It is called The Tale of Two Software Engineer.

The other day (it seems so many days ago I started this challenge even though this is the fourth day) I searched Google for HubPages and doctorjay (my HubPages user ID) and I noticed that a Hub which I had writen about two hours earlier had already been spidered.

I also noticed that my websites that I was giving backlinks to had been visited by the googlebot more often than before.

So I don’t know how the experiment will go by the thirtieth day but so far it has been a fun ride. I’ll report more on the challenge on this and other blogs….

I’m crazy enough for the hubpages challenge

I got an email about a challenge to do 100 hubpages in thirty days, and I’m crazu enough to do anything legal and within reason for a lark so:

Now many of the people who have accepted the challenge are going to write long hubpages and I’ll write short ones. I heard about the challenge about 10:30 p.m. Sunday 10th, May 2009 and the challenge starts in an hour.

I’ll keep you posted about how the challenge goes and if it increases the number of visitors who come to my sites.

Here’s the first HubPage in the series:
