It was not a natural death. Pakistan's national game has been murdered in broad daylight
Pakistan Hockey was born even before the birth of the country. The British India first figured at the Olympics hockey in 1928 and won the gold at all the three editions (1928, '32 and '36) before the partition of the country.
Muslim players from the areas that became Pakistan as well as those from areas of India after 1947 had contributed a lot to these three victories. In fact, the captain and the vice-captain of British India at 1932 Olympics, Lal Shah Bukhari and Jaffar Shah, were both Muslims and from the areas now constituting Pakistan.
The newly-born nation expected immediate glory, but Pakistan hockey took some time to make its mark on the international horizon. After fourth positions in 1948 and 1952, the country won its first Olympic medal of any colour, silver, at the 1956 Olympics.
The next Olympiad in 1960 saw Pakistan clinch its first ever Olympic gold when Naseer Bunda's goal ended India's 32-year-old hegemony.
Hockey, now Pakistan's national game, apart from a brief period from 1986 to '88, continued to give the country successes.
It is the only sport that has given Pakistan gold and silver medals (three each) at the world's biggest sporting stage.
The show at the World Cup is even more impressive with four victories -- no other country has lifted the coveted trophy as many times.
Hockey and Pakistan were just as synonymous as football and Brazil. In some respects it went beyond that. The country made invaluable contribution to the sport. The idea to hold a World Cup of hockey was Pakistan's. Also, the beautiful cup for the event was from Pakistan. The Champions Trophy was again a purely Pakistani initiative. Again, the trophy was contributed by Pakistan.
Hockey was rightly considered Pakistan's identity.
But then came the decline -- in the 1990s. Pakistan failed to win any medal at the Olympics or the World Cup after the 1994 World Cup. But still, they remained in the big league till the mid-2000s, finishing among the top six at the Olympics and the World Cup.
But what has occurred over the last few years could not have been imagined even in the worst of the nightmares.
Qasim Zia with the backing of the then ruling Pakistan People's Party became the president of the PHF in 2008 and Asif Bajwa occupied the seat of the secretary general with the support of a PML-N's minister who is from his home town of Sialkot and is also his namesake. The duo was joined by another evil in the shape of omnipresent Rana Mujahid who has the knack of creeping into every setup.
They played havoc with the Pakistan hockey. The country with such a proud history ended 12th at the 2010 World Cup. That was only the beginning of the end.
The deadly trio was later joined by Akhtar Rasool. His inclusion was delayed because a court order had banned him for holding any public office for storming the Supreme Court in 1997.
The 120-kg former Pakistan captain only became eligible after the ban ended in 2010. A close associate of Nawaz Sharif, he was immediately appointed manager and head coach of the national team.
Under his able stewardship, the unthinkable happened which shook the entire hockey world. The four-time winners failed to even qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
It was the same Akhtar Rasool who on assuming the charge of the national team announced, "My target is to play the final of the World Cup."
Was he removed after the failure of such a magnitude? No, he was promoted to the position of president. Rana Mujahid was elevated to the office of the secretary general.
This doesn't mean that the former president and secretary, Qasim and Bajwa, completely disappeared from the scene. It should be remembered that the chief executive of the country is also ex officio the patron in chief of the PHF, and he has repeatedly professed meritocracy as his government's policy.
If such unconceivable disasters were not enough, there emerged financial problems in the PHF as well. For the last few years, it has become difficult even to send the teams abroad. Pakistan skipped quite a few international tournaments during the last couple of years.
Recently, things have gone to the extent that the members of the national team are not even being paid the daily allowances. This is happening despite the fact that the PHF remained the governments' (two successive regimes) biggest beneficiary among all the national sports bodies -- it got Rs1 billion in five years.
Pakistan's participation in the 2014 Champions Trophy was made possible through the generosity of some private entrepreneurs who had voluntarily stepped in because of their love for the national game. But they immediately stopped as soon as they became aware of the way the affairs of the PHF were being conducted.
In this scenario, further humiliation was inevitable and it has now arrived in the shape of another shameful first: Pakistan hockey team's failure to qualify for the Olympics. Hence, at the Rio 2016, Pakistan will only be represented by a few wild card entrants with not a single sportsperson from a nation of 20 million even reaching the minimum qualification standard.
Pakistan's Olympics are already over, more than a year before the lighting of the torch in Brazil.
It was not a natural death. Pakistan's national game has been murdered in broad daylight -- intended and planned. All those involved in this heinous crime should get the severest possible punishment.

For years, many of us have questioned whether too much television time hinders young children's development. There's ample research evidence showing that TV can adversely affect attention, sleep, language and social development. Now, there's a new wrinkle to this question. What's the effect of handheld screen time (e.g., smartphones, tablets) on language development? Parents don't carry a TV in their pockets, but most parents do carry a smartphone. When infants and toddlers start squirming on the bus, whimpering at a restaurant, or racing around the waiting room at the doctor's office, what's in your pocket?Read More
KIPS Blog: Parenting Assessment in Practice & Research

When you hear the word Parent, who do you think of first? … At quick response, most people say Mom. All too often Dads aren't given the credit they deserve. Despite decades of research supporting Dads' valuable contributions to children's development, they are often portrayed in the mass media (e.g., TV, radio, Internet, movies) as the goofy playmate, the incompetent caregiver, the uninterested bystander, or the stern disciplinarian who stands in for Mom every so often.Read More

You work hard to help parents be the best parents they can be in supporting their children's lifelong health, learning and well-being. Observational parenting assessment using video can be a powerful tool in helping parents see their strengths and find opportunities for growth. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much would you say a video is worth?

Have you ever wondered what happened to the children you've known who were in foster or adoptive care? As these children were growing up, what did "being in care" mean to them? As young adults, what are they doing now? What did they learn from those early life lessons that makes them who they are today? If you're like me, you have a thousand questions. From personal experience within my extended family, I am honored and in awe to have witnessed the growth, grit and perseverance of the foster children who have grown to thriving young adults because of the nurturing of loving families. I've seen how the foster and adoptive parents' efforts have been so vital to helping my nieces and nephews grow into successful adults.

Importance of Parenting & Evidence-Based Intervention
Children don't come with instructions. Yet, parenting quality effects a child's overall welfare and influences vital outcomes such as social behavior, educational success and emotional well-being (Olds, et al., 2007). Characteristics of effective parenting include (a) interaction style with their child; (b) warmth and affection towards their child; and (c) parenting strategies used (Johnson, et al., 2008). Cultivating positive parent/child interaction is a cornerstone of most parenting programs and parenting curricula.

Fifty years ago this week in his State of the Union address, the New President, Lyndon Johnson declared War on Poverty. As I write this the press and politicians are abuzz debating "America's Longest War." We can all agree that this long war has not been won. For a timeline showing the many battles and skirmishes in this war on poverty follow this link.

Are you trying to help parents help children get ready for school success? According to research from the University of Pennsylvania, traits such as self-control and grit can predict school success as well as IQ. On September 27 the MacArthur Foundation released the names of the twenty-four 2013 recipients of its famous MacArthur Fellowships, sometimes called the Genius Grants. These grants are given to honor and support individuals' exceptional creativity in past work and the promise of more in the future. Angela Duckworth at the University of Pennsylvania is among this year's 24 creative individuals. Her research demonstrates that character traits are equally good indicators of a child's future academic success as intelligence and standardized achievement tests.

I just read an interesting article that warrants some discussion. I found the article because the press was reporting that a study found 23% of parenting was attributable to the child's genetics. What concerned me was that some were interpreting this to mean that one need not try to work with parents because their children's genetics run the show. This flies in the face of the voluminous research stating that parenting is a primary factor major in children's health and development and that working to improve parenting benefits children (for earlier posts on this see 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5). The study conducted by Reut Avinun and Ariel Knafo, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, was a meta-analyses of 32 published twin studies of parental behavior. Twin studies can be used to ascertain the degree to which something is heritable, because identical twins share 100% of the same genes, where fraternal twins share only half the same genes. The meta-analyses employed studies that assessed parenting using parent self report, child self report and observational measures. The authors state in their abstract, " meta-analysis of 32 children-as-twins studies of parenting revealed a heritability estimate of 23%, thus indicating that genetically influenced behaviors of the child affect and shape parental behavior."

The quality of parent-child relationships is linked to a theoretical construct called attachment. A child's attachment influences his or her social-emotional development throughout life. Examining parenting strategies that support healthy development and strong parent-child relationships can help family service providers support parents in reflecting on their own parenting strengths and parenting struggles.

~a shawl for me, Oh, Oh, We're Halfway There, Oh, Oh, Livin' On A Prayer
~Christmas Stocking 2 of 6 for my Sister Carrie
~Secret Socks for Someone Special
+ in my insanity, I have cast on a sock yarn blanket which I'll most likely be working on for the next several YEARS!, When you think I'll zig, I'll zag. Then when you think I'm gonna zag, I do zag, just to mess you up for the next time, when I might zig Blanket (bonus points if you know that the name of this blanket is a Gilmore Girls reference)
As always, find all my completed projects plus what's currently on my needles on Ravelry:
And you can also find all my knitting pattern designs (those available for purchase and some freebies as well) on Ravelry:

God in Our Hearts
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house, ever singing Your praise!
Selah. Blessed are those whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. Psalm 84:4–5
In Old Testament times, it was common for God's people to long for God's Temple in Jerusalem—they wanted to "dwell in" God's house. People were spread throughout the land of Israel, and most people made a visit to the Temple only once a year—if that. They looked forward to going to Jerusalem in the same way we might look forward to attending a church conference or hearing a famous Christian speaker. It was an opportunity for them to experience a "spiritual high."
This spiritual high is what the Psalmist calls being "blessed," which simply means to "be happy."
Happy are those who dwell in God's house!
Who wouldn't want to be welcomed in the company of God? Who doesn't want to feel complete peace and acceptance in His home This is what all of our hearts are longing for.
In Ancient Israel, the people longed to go to a physical location because that was how they experienced God's presence. Does this mean we should all schedule a trip to the Holy Land? Well… perhaps. But unlike Pastors Albert or Eric, I have not yet been to Jerusalem; that doesn't mean I haven't experienced the same blessing of God's presence though.
Jesus has changed things. In the Old Testament, people longed to go towards God's presence. Now, under the New Covenant, Jesus has brought God's presence to us!
It used to be that people were blessed if their hearts "longed for Zion," which meant they longed for the Temple in Jerusalem. But today, we don't travel to get to Zion, Jesus has brought Zion to us.
We are blessed because Jesus has brought heaven to our hearts. Now we don't go to His Temple: He has made us His Temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16
Take joy in the truth that God is with you. Even with your busy schedule, God doesn't require you to go somewhere to connect with Him; instead He invites you to connect with Him wherever you are. It's not about ascending to some holy location but giving Him the attention of your heart. There is no place you will go today where God is not with you. You can experience His presence, you can experience His joys, wherever you are. This comes not by a place but by the posture of your heart.
Today, we don't just have the "Highways to Zion" in our hearts but in Christ, we have the God of Zion in our hearts.

Courtyard Cafe briefly closed its doors in 2008, but the hiatus didn't last for very long. Regular customers clamored for the local eatery to reopen, and its owners obliged. That was particularly good news for those who enjoy going out for breakfast, because Courtyard Cafe's morning menu is one of the most popular in the area.
Until 11 a.m., you can order the classic breakfast plate. Choose the cheesy grits as your side and dig into two eggs cooked your way along with sausage, bacon, and a house-crafted biscuit or slice of golden-brown toast. The decadent peanut butter and banana pancakes or waffles come piled with fresh fruit, house-made peanut butter cream, and peanut butter chips tossed right into the batter. If you decide to do lunch at Courtyard Cafe, order anything with the jalapeno bread—it earns rave reviews.

After 9/11, domestic spying became the law of the land with the Patriot Act, which granted the U.S. government the right to search citizens' telephones, e-mail, and financial records without a court order. Edward Snowden's leaks revealed the vastness of the surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency.
In spite of the powers granted it – and taken illegally – the United States has been unable to stop attacks by both the American far right and Islamist extremists (or those who use the latter as a pretext for an attack, such as Omar Mateen in the Orlando shooting). In Politico magazine, Garrett M. Graff explains.
Particularly in the wake of the Edward Snowden scandals, we tend to think of the FBI and the sprawling homeland security apparatus as a giant surveillance machine. … But the circumstances behind the Orlando shooting, counterterrorism experts say, underscore the very different reality: The FBI actually isn't big enough to tackle the new era of online radicalization and independent-acting lone wolves.
In fact:
It's not that the FBI didn't recognize Mateen as a threat; it's that there are too many people like Mateen and Tsarnaev and Hasan across America today for the FBI to track them all.
For instance:
The Bureau has repeatedly said over the last six months that it has had more than 1,000 active probes related to the Islamic State. But, of these 1,000 or so suspected terrorists, the FBI only has the resources to thoroughly monitor a select few. … sources familiar with Bureau resources say that the number is "shockingly" low, only in the dozens.
As a result the FBI is turning to that recurrent subject of civil liberties nightmares – sting operations – to compensate for its shortfalls in manpower and other resources. But there's another reason the FBI is struggling to stay atop domestic extremism. In another article at Politico magazine, Michael Hirsch writes:
… critics say the tally of missed clues from Boston to Orlando is evidence that to a disturbing extent the FBI and intelligence community are still fighting the last war, one in which "radicalization" follows a predictable path (e.g., growing a beard, praying more frequently) and the telltale signs of a terrorist in the making are organized links to terrorist groups and plans to travel abroad.
Lorenzo Vidino, director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University's Center for Cyber & Homeland Security, says it's "in the FBI's DNA" to pursue such criminal links to terrorist groups and build a case in the way law enforcement traditionally does, with questions like: Who did you meet with? Who did you talk to? Can you account for your actions for such-and-such period of time?
True, over the past few years the FBI has begun to alter its approach to this homegrown terrorism.
… But the changes don't appear to be fast enough. What Mateen's attack, and the FBI's failure to track him, suggest is that the terror threat appears to be evolving more quickly than U.S. authorities can keep up with it.
What if the United States were a person who had many enemies and who made more each day? He or she would be told to look in the mirror and ask himself what he or she is doing to alienate others to that extent. In fact, there is another option besides a police state and budding terrorists germinating across the land. It's called … having fewer enemies.
That means less U.S. intervention in the Middle East, unless sanctioned by the United Nations (or a future, more powerful world body that holds the concept of the sovereign state in less awe), discontinuing U.S. alliances with states that support Sunni extremists, most notably Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, as well as with states effectively aligned against Islam, such as Israel.
While President Obama succeeded in dialing back our codependent relationship with Israel, if Hillary Clinton is elected president, expect regression on that front. Meanwhile, the United States needs to ask itself: Do the benefits of our relationships with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan exceed the harm caused by the support of those two countries for the likes of Al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Taliban?
This is not a call for U.S. "appeasement" in the face of attacks by Islamic extremists. But how many Americans believe we should die on our own soil because of an ill-advised war in Iraq and our alliances with states such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Israel, none of which seem to have any pretenses whatsoever of being a world citizen.

Having driven the Eyre and Lincoln Highways earlier this month it is extremely sad to read about the two fatal crashes on this stretch of road in the past fortnight. My heart goes out to all the family and friends of those involved in the accidents. I cannot begin to imagine the pain they are feeling.
South Australia has had a horror run with serious crashes causing death on our roads in the past two months.
As the Shadow Road Safety Minister I have spoken to a number of experts in this field and discussed the value of road shoulders and audible tactile line markings, especially on roads that have cars travelling at high speeds. Given the importance placed on these road safety measures it was alarming to witness the lack of road shoulders and audible tactile line markings on the road from Pt Augusta to Pt Lincoln.
In 1997, K.W. Ogden suggested that a 43% saving in casualty accidents could be achieved by adding shoulders to South Australia's roads. A CASR report in 2010 revealed that unsealed road shoulders was a factor in the majority (70% of studied cases) of non-intersection crashes.
There are a number of benefits associated with shoulder sealing, such as:
Reducing up to 40% of head-on crashes and run-off road crashes; allowing cyclists more reliable width to travel outside the traffic lane; and enabling left turning traffic to use the sealed shoulder, which may assist in reducing delays for through traffic. Other states, such as Western Australia, have prioritised widening and sealing road shoulders on rural roads, as well as the installation of audible tactile line markings to improve road safety.
Given the alarmingly high road toll last year (108 deaths) and the poor start South Australia has made in 2015 (13 deaths), I have written to the Minister for Road Safety, Tony Piccolo MP, asking for a briefing on all the programs outlined in the Government's Community Road Safety Fund to ensure South Australians are getting full value from the money that is being invested in this program. It is not unreasonable to ask the State Government to be transparent in this policy area.
A measure of road safety across all Australian states is calculated as a ratio of deaths per 100,000 of population. In 2014, New South Wales returned a ratio of 4.11, Victoria was 4.26. Sadly South Australia had a ratio of 6.35 in 2014, up from 5.87 in 2013. This is despite the State Labor Government setting a target to reduce this ratio to 5.6 by 2010.
As a state we need to keep working to bring these numbers down. Perhaps the figures above indicate that it is the wrong time for the Government to be disassembling the Motor Accident Commission (MAC).
As I travelled across South Australia's West Coast I also noted a distinct lack of overtaking lanes along the Eyre and Lincoln Highways. Road safety experts have differing views on the value of overtaking lanes from a safety perspective but from a drivers view point I find them very beneficial and knowing they are coming up takes the pressure off crossing to the wrong side of the road to pass a slower vehicle – particularly on a long drive.
Despite the lack of key safety features on this road it doesn't even appear in the RAA's top 10 "Risky Roads". So with that in mind I look forward to hearing what Minister Piccolo has to say about road shoulders, audible tactile line marking and over taking lanes as well as the state of other roads across South Australia. I will make sure every reasonable measure is being taken to stop our rising road toll.

How can I get more traffic to my hubs on Hubpages? What is the best way to drive pageviews?
I've been on hubpages for a little while now and I've picked up a couple of tricks. And I've learned even more from other people's suggestions and tips for getting traffic so I thought I'd share a summary of them here.
First of all, I'm only interested in the whitest of white hat traffic strategies. I rely on my Google accounts for my whole online life so it would be crippling if they were disabled. Basically, I'm not do anything that might annoy the big G.
And now that hubpages will publish our best hubs on their niche topic sites - which is great for organic search traffic - that's yet another route for more pageviews for our hubs.
Freshness helps
No one knows exactly how Google and the other search engines rank pages apart from the companies themselves. But remember what the search engines are trying to do: find the best most relevant content. And one clue that helps them do that is how "fresh" it is, i.e. how recently updated it is.
It's worth keeping hubs up to date, especially those that are based on data that changes as time goes on. Just think, when you are searching the web, you wouldn't stay on a page that hadn't been updated since 2003 unless it's the kind of information that never goes out of date.
So keep your hubs fresh.
How to get more traffic - the big picture
Where does traffic come from? It comes from other websites (and other hubs). Mostly (but not only) through search engines (like Google, Bing and Yahoo Search). That means you need to be linked to from lots of other websites and to feature near the top of the search rankings.
So how do we do this?
1. Write quality content.
If you do people will link to you because what you've written is useful to them and their readers and you will get traffic that way. Also the search engines try to take this into account as well (in an algorithmic way, so it's not perfect).
An important part of this is making sure your work is well structured, with a clear informative title, helpful article summary and useful sidebars where that is relevant.
But of course the better content you have the more high quality backlinks you are likely to get and search engines love backlinks. So the next tip is...
2. Get lots of high quality backlinks.
Backlinks (links from other pages to your page) are one of the key things that determine where you come in the search engines rankings (like Google's PageRank). If these are from relevant, highly ranked sites they count for more - these are high quality backlinks. Links from spammy sites might even hurt your ranking.
Getting backlinks doesn't mean getting them yourself! If people like your content (see point 1 above!) they will link to you. I generally hear bad things about paying for backlinks and I think Google disapprove of people gaming their system like that so I would definitely avoid it. But it is possible to get high quality backlinks without paying - but it will mean some work. We'll look at some tips for that below.
Technical point: If a link is marked as "no-follow" in the underlying code then Google won't count it, although other search engines might. Wordpress uses no-follow comments by default (but that can be switched off).
3. Use keywords properly.
When search engines are deciding where to list pages for a particular search they will look at how the search words appear in the page, how often they appear and in what context, as well as the general ranking of that page. Therefore if you can write in such a way that the search engine will realise that your content is relevant to the search you will appear high up in the listing for that search.
We're not trying to break the system here - but it's too everyone's advantage if the relevant content that you have written gets matched up with that search. You get traffic that is interested in your content and will stay and read it and maybe click on an ad. The search engine has a happy customer. And the searcher has found some useful content. Everyone is happy. It's win-win-win.
I'll look in more detail at some keyword and web writing tips below.
White hat vs Black hat SEO
This brilliant blog post on SEOMoz sets out the white hat creed. Building real long term useful content is better than spam tactics, definitely in the long term and sometimes in the short term too.
Go read it, it's better than anything I could say about it.
Tips specific to Hubpages
When writing on hubpages there are a few tools hubpages provides to help you get even more views.
1. Make sure you write a summary
The summary is the second hook, after the title that will draw readers in. The summary will often appear in web search results as well. Make sure it is punchy and tells readers exactly what your article offers.
2. Put similar articles in groups
That way hubpages can automatically suggest similar articles to readers based on the article they are currently reading. That means you could get two views for the price of one!
3. Add a picture or two
Hubpages is very keen on pictures. It improves the look and feel of an articles. They will promote articles with pictures over those without. You can get creative commons licensed images by searching at search.creativecommons.org/ or by searching Flickr with the "creative commons" filter on.
Find a niche
Writing lots of hubs on lots of subjects isn't a bad thing. But if you find a niche or two then each hub you write reinforces the others. You can add links from one hub to another naturally and use the powerful "group" feature in hubpages to group related hubs together.
Make sure you stay featured!
Hubpages has now introduced a new system for hubs. Hubs will either be "featured" or "idle" (or "pending" while you wait to find out).
Featured hubs will be included in the index for Google. Idle hubs won't. Idle hubs will still be visible on hupages if people go there directly, so you can still earn from them. But they won't be on Google (which is where most of my traffic comes from).
Even if your hubs are featured they can become idle over time. So it's worth checking back and refreshing any hubs that have become idle to make sure that they are up to date and as useful to readers as they can possibly be.
So while it can be frustrating if your favourite old hubs become "idle", it does make you improve them. It's a great prompt that your newly idle hub should be updated - if nothing else a spelling and grammar check - to make the hub better. And fresher. And search engines love great and fresh content. So it can only improve your hub portfolio.
And, just based on what I've seen, overall traffic has increased after this change.
Poll: Your tip for hupages traffic
What is the most important tip for driving traffic to your hubs?
Tips for writing quality content
Like I said above I'm new to hubpages so I don't pretend to be an expert. Here are some of the tips I've picked up reading about writing for the web and for hubpages in particular. Please do share any of your suggestions in the comments.
1. Write concisely. Make your point and move on. Don't pad your articles out or readers will get frustrated and not bother reading to the end.
2. Write something useful - answer a question or solve a problem for your readers. Try to make sure your answers are correct and helpful.
3. Make sure you're spelling and grammar are correct. Not necessarily "English teacher" correct. But clear and easy to read. That matters more than a bunch of rules in Strunk and White (excellent though that book is).
4. Structure your articles so it's easy for readers to find what they want. They may only need one fact or they might want to read the whole thing. Make it easy for them whatever. Then they'll keep coming back - and maybe even give you the backlinks that will boost your traffic.
Engage in the conversation
Get involved with the community and get backlinks by commenting naturally not spammily. Hubpages comments automatically lin to your profile and you usually set up comments on other sites to link back to your profile.
Tips for getting lots of natural high quality backlinks
I think the trick with backlinks is to avoid tricks! And not to try and game the system - because you will eventually be caught out. A lot of people were caught out by Google's Panda update. But if you just behave naturally and try and get people to link to your content because it is useful and relevant I don't see how you can go wrong.
The tricky bit is trying to get people to know your content is there in the first place.
1. Participate
Comment on other hubs. Participate on relevant forums and comment on relevant blogs. It may make people curious about you and your content. Sometimes it will even give you the chance to naturally link back to your content (if the blag allows Name/URL commenting for example). But do it naturally. Be part of the converstaion or you'll be blocked as a spammer.
2. Be generous
Both with your time and your links to other people's content. If you see something useful, link to it (assuming the owner is happy for you to). Don't always think about what you're getting out of it. If you behave generously people will want to interact with you and will start linking to your content because they want to, not because you have tricked them into it.
3. Get social
Everyone is focusing more and more on social networking. If you can build a network of people who are interested in your topics that is an automatic readership, and, if they like it, they will share your content with their networks, and so on and so on. Use Twitter, Google+, pinterest and other places to spread the word about your content. Don't be spammy. Just let people know it's there, if they want it.
Tips for writing for search engines as well as people.
1. Whatever you do, don't write just for the search engines. They are getting smarter all the time and will eventually find you out. Write for people. That's what the search engines want, even if they are sometimes fooled by spammers and other internet tricksters.
2. Do use tags and keywords naturally. If you include keywords too often or put them in unnatural places the search engines will notice and mark you down. On the other hand it helps if you can specifically use any variants that people searching for your topic might use. For example if you are writing about insuring your vehicle you might also mention insuring cars, insurance for your truck so that people searching have more chance of finding your article.
3. Make sure you have a summary on your hub. This will be shown in the search listings for some search engines and will be part of what decides people to click through to your article. So make it snappy and descriptive - it's like the back of the book cover blurb for your article.
4. Use tags from schema.org.
This is the future - but I don't think we can use it on hubpages yet. Schema tags allow you to tell search engines exactly the context of your article. Eg if you are writing about Apple the computer company you can tag it as a computer company so you won't get search results for Apple the record company or apples the fruit. Although this sounds like it gets you less traffic - it will get you more in the long run as users can find what they want and they will actually stay on your article rather than clicking back immediately. That's good for your search engine ranking and good for ad clicks if that's something you care about.
UPDATE: Keep at it
The longer you keep at hubbing the more views you get. That is my experience.
As time goes by you gain backlinks (from your own hard work and from others), Google also rewards long serving, updated content. Slowly the views from search engine traffic build up.
This, together with you adding more and more content that links to each other organically means your traffic can compound over time.
Two years in particular seems a key milestone. My traffic has spiked up just after I was on here for two years.
I don't write much here, but I still get decent traffic. So can you.
Don't try and game the search engines. They will eventually win as they are bigger and cleverer than any of us can be individually. Behave naturally. Write great content and spread the word about it and the search engine hits will come.
This might be harder work than trying some SEO hacking but it will be more rewarding in the long run both in terms of your writing skills and in your bank balance.
Do remember to add any tips in the comments and point out anything I've forgotten or that you disagree with!
Have fun hubbing!
Thank you for this super helpful article!
Thanks for this super helpful. I'm now starting out on here.
Thanks again for your helpful info. I can do with all the help I can get. I think I am doing too much at the same time.
Welcome Cruncher.Amazing article.
Thanks for the insights Cruncher.I really appreciate the help.
Thanks for the advice. Excellent tips.
Great information! Thank you. You definitely have some good tips, not tricks.
Thanks for sharing the useful advice.
Thank you for such valuable information!
thank you, very useful information and so encouraging!
I'm back for a review. Finding it equally as helpful as 4 years ago!
@ Cruncher,
Thank you very much for such an informative hub. It gave me lot of information and updated my knowledge on effective and successful writing :)
Happy Hubbing :)
Thanks for sharing what you've learned. It's helpful and encouraging. I'm doing most of what you suggest but am making little progress. But your Hub gave me a boost.
Ya since the day I started hubs, I've noticed thatsome are more successful than others, but I've never actually understood why. I have a few hubs that are in the same group and yet two that are extremely similar in content have very opposite stats. If you ever discover the truth to this mystery let us know :D
Thanks for the article it actually has a few good tricks, I just came back to hubpages after leaving it for a year, and when I checked my Google analytics page I actually had an increase in views and backlinks. So I decided I would try and be active here again :D
Interesting and informative
Great suggestions and worth following
Cruncher, Yes, that is true to some extent, but posting different topics expands my viewership.
Cruncher, Yeah that's true, I'm trying to get a hub in each category to expand my field of writing.
Thank you for this, I've been sorting out my keywords for the past few hours. I hope it helps. Also I didn't know about the groups helping so thank you very much!
bravo .. great advice. Thanks
My traffic has been struggling immensely and I hope to take the next step forward. I enjoyed reading all of this information and I'll use it to my advantage. Very useful and great hub.
Good advices, Thank you for sharing this
I enjoyed your article.. I've written five so far, and all five are featured. I've been a member for awhile, but for the first two years, all I did was read the Hubs or articles without making comments on HubPages. I made comments in notebooks as I studied them. I will read your article again, so I can learn to apply your knowledge to my HubPage.
Hey Cruncher, Nice article. I might add that sometimes it's helpful if you write on a topic that is controversial and take the position that goes against the tide. Controversy is good for getting discussions going in your comments section, I think. I haven't written enough yet to prove that my theory is true, but I suspect it might have some weight.
Thanks for this, I just wrote my first hub, and it got featured. But I was wondering how to get it higher on Google's search engine! This is probably the best motivational article I've read about SEO!
Great advice! I am new and learning about SEO. This helped me to understand what not to do as well. Very helpful, voted up.
Thanks that was beneficial :)
Very informative. I was a dedicated Hubber about 2 years ago and have returned. Now I am trying to increase my awareness and traffic on the site. I am not sure if I truly understood it in the past and may have led to my absence, but I hope to return with great passion :)
I found this helpful as a beginner. I understand the whole idea of hubpages a little bit more know. Very useful. :)
A really informative hub for beginners like myself. I only have a few hubs that I wrote over two years ago. I liked the advice you gave that Google will reward long serving updated content I've just updated my hubs so hope that I'll eventually get some traffic coming to my hubs soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot!
Hey Cruncher,
I didn't really get this point: Put similar articles in groups.
Did you mean to put links of our other hubs in the related hub?
Great info here! Nice and straightforward hub!
Thanks for sharing this! I don't really understand about featured hub before, but when I understand about how important featured hub is; now I always try to improve all of my hubs so that I can get more featured hubs.
I believe that "content is king." You have given good advice for writing quality hubs and insuring traffic. You have my vote up!
I voted for ALL OF THEM Cruncher. I really believe that search engines like Google incorporate many different variables into their algorithms.
I enjoyed your Hub. I find the topic of driving traffic to websites to be fascinating!

Syracuse Pest Pressure
The town of Syracuse, NY, is home to booming industrial communities, parks, dense populations of people, and a variety of pests. Bed bugs are particularly problematic in the area. They are passed from host to host in crowded places like public transport or find their way inside homes via travelers who've spent time in infested hotels. The pests are known for feeding on human blood and leaving behind itchy welts.
Rodents are another common Syracuse pest, especially at the onset of cold weather. They carry diseases such as plague, rat-bite fever, and hantavirus, as well as parasites like ticks and fleas. Additionally, rats and mice contaminate stores of food, defecate all over houses, and gnaw on electrical wiring. The latter puts houses at increased risk of catching fire because of an electrical short.
We're not happy until you're happy.
