I could write 20 hubpages today on topics off the top of my head and although I would get a few visits from people to them for the first couple of days the traffic would soon dwindle until eventually they would only get one or 2 visitors a month.
I could do some research and produce 1high quality hub today and I would get a few visitors in the first few days from fellow hubbers and then when the search engines have found my hub the traffic would keep coming.
Having published over 600 hubs on Hubpages, I have been guilty of throwing together 10 hubs in a single day I think my record for a single day is 17, around half of all of my hubs were just thrown together written quickly without any research what-so-ever, In the early days of the hubpages site I got hooked and like a kid with a new toy I went crazy every waking moment as the hubstaff will verify I was never away from the site and i wasn’t happy unless I was writing a hub or commenting on another hubbers work.
Those early hubs have ran their course and recieve about 1 visitor every 3 months, they were never money makers and between the first 300 of my hubs I think I earned around $50 all time.
These days I don’t write as often I publish 1 or 2 hubs in a week, I take more time to do some research on and offline on the subject I have chosen, and I consider my hubs of a higher quality with more information and a more professional look to them. I try to write on Evergreen content (content that is not restricted to time of year) and content that I would find useful if I was searching for information on that particular subject.
I get a lot more visitors to my hubs since I changed the way I write and I earn alot more money from my pages.
Quantity is sufficient if you want to make a quick cent, But Quality is king if you want to put some real money in your bank account and keep the money coming in on a long term basis.

Thats an interesting write up Jimmy: I find some of my hubs which I think are rubbish get visitors all the times the ones I like no one else does! The real puzzles are the ones which gets lots of visitors and make no money
Hi Jimmy, Nat here, I think you have a great site for newbie hubbers! I’ve only been a member for three days and I already feel like I’ve got a new addiction. After reading your post I think I will definitely go for the quality approach, I wonder if this somehow effects your Hub score…………………….. Thanks again Nat
