hubpages.com replaces scribd

Since the abrupt ending of outgoing links by scribd.com, in part, caused by a viral video from Stompernet.com by Don Crowther called “No Secrets”, I have been looking for a good alternative to scribd that DOES allow outgoing links.

I found a good one. No..not good but great. It is even better than scribd. hubpages.com is the new site and it is full of functionality delivered in a easy-to-use interface.

If you already have or are about to watch the video, just substitute hubpages.com every time you see the site scribd.com mentioned.

<RANT MODE>

Now remember don’t load up that site with useless crap. Use your best stuff. If you don’t have good content yet then be patient. Remember, you are trying to set yourself up as a reputable on-line resource for whatever niche you are carving out. If you want respect be respectful. If you want to be treated as a professional then be professional. If you want to be looked on as an expert, don’t blow it by posting a bunch or re-hashed crap that will just turn people off!

Ok, now that I have gotten my rant out of the way, here are some cool features on hubpages.com

1) You can publish and share your online content with their community and build a following there, driving traffic back to your site.

2) You can embed outgoing links into your documents, again driving traffic to a product or service. Remember my rant. Crap content will yield crap results!

3) With the high page ranking of hubpages.com, you will get more traffic of a better quality to your site.

4) You can embed your Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Amazon.com, and eBay.com information and share in the revenue from traffic you generate on their site.

5) Further you can earn money simply by referring others to the site. You get 10% of hubpages.com share so this can be very lucrative. Again I stress…remember my rant. You mess with them and they will cut you loose and you will lose your chance at making some serious coin!

 Note: You have to allow hubpages.com access to the non-personal area of your AdSense account. Don’t worry, Google ensures that they will not get at stuff that can compromise your account in anyway.

In all honesty, after reviewing this site, they blow scribd.com away. I don’t know how scribd can even compete with this because they have cut themselves off at the knees by preventing outgoing links.

Sucks to be them. Sign up for hubpages.com and start your journey by working on the goals outlined by StomperNet.

Good Luck!
