Writing for money at HubPages?

I finally got around to doing some other things besides throwing money at Prosper. I did some research when I started this blog and I made some notes of some sites I wanted to get into to see what would happen. One of them was HubPages. It's pretty much a site where you write articles and post them, similar to Helium.com and Associated Content. I haven't checked out Helium and Associated Content beyond a preliminary assessment, but HubPages is cool in that you can add in your Google AdSense, Ebay affiliate, Amazon affiliate, and Kontera accounts. So there's a lot of potential for revenue sharing if you can drive the traffic to your site.

I think this would be more productive than Epinions, as Epinions is all about reviews, and reviews eventually become obsolete. Articles about how-tos or opinions have a longer shelf life and has the potential to be linked by people who like the content. So let's see how it goes. I pulled one of my credit tips from a post here and made a "hub". Go check it out!

Oh, if you haven't noticed already, I added a Digg! button to my blogs. I found a great tutorial how to do this, so for the link go to the links section at my personal blog.
