I learned about Hub Pages about 2 years ago in a free class on how to dominate page one rankings on Google. Since then I have gotten to page one of google for a number of keyword phrases with the help of Hub Pages. When I am hired by solopreneurs, companies and websites to improve their Google page ranking, Hub Pages is often the tool that gets the fastest results. In this review I'll lay out the simple "Do's" and "Don'ts" for Hub Pages and help you get started.
The Pro's: A Great Authority Site
Hub Pages is a free web service that hosts informational web pages for its users. It is considered an Authority Site because it gets high ranking on Google and has lots of visitors; great for getting to page one of Google.
You can create as many "Hubs" as you like, and add text, pictures, videos, and links in your Hub. Hub Pages rewards pages with lots of great content by giving them great ranking both within HubPages (where dedicated Hubbers can find your stuff) and in Google.
The Hub Pages interface is very basic and easy to follow. You start by selecting your title, URL, and tags (make sure to include your keyword phrase in all three areas.) Then select a basic template and Hub Pages will quickly set up a starter page for you.
You can customize your pages with a simple stylesheet as well as bold, italic, underline, sub and super-script, bullets and numbered lists.
Include photos and videos whenever possible. HubPages loves media and will reward your page with better ranking. Other features are available in the Capsules options area, including news, links, text, photos, comments, ebay, html code, quiz, rss, polls, amazon.com search and tables. Using several of these features in your Hub will enhance your site ranking.
Hub Pages: Some Challenges to Overcome
HubPages insists on original, unique content on its pages and punishes you if your Hub is "Over Promotional." That means you have to use unique content and link sparingly. This is a huge drawback to Hub Pages in comparison to blog sites like Blogger and Wordpress, or even Squidoo, all of which allow you to post duplicate content and multiple links.
You can program in links but again, be careful with links on HubPages. I cannot say that loudly enough because if you link to one website more than 2ce in your Hub, HubPages will flag your page and deny your publishing request.
When you have finished your Hub, make sure to promote it. Hub Pages provides forums where you can pal around with other Hubbers and include links to your new hubs. Also invite friend from your social networks using the share button.
Hub Pages continues to be a great tool for Search Engine Optimization. It gets me to page one of Google almost every time. Just be cognizant of the rules and offer real, consumable content.
Join and start Hubbing now. It's easy, it's free, and you'll love the results.

Frisch Family
Each time I watch this programme I am blown away by the generosity of the crew, the community and the construction companies that donate their skills and time to the creation of a family home for deserving families who have experienced such immense hardship.
This episode is about a family who have adopted children from different backgrounds. Some of the children have come from Haiti the only 4th World country in the Western hemisphere. Living in orphanages, on the streets and in dire circumstances.
Mrs Frisch has various health problems and has undergone surgery, suffered strokes, had a small hole in her heart and suffers during cold weather.
The team sent one of the designers away with the family on their holiday. During the holiday they go to an air strip to be involved in the loading of toys and equipment that is to be sent to Haiti for children who do not have anything.
The boys from Haiti have made a promise that they will go to college, become successful in their chosen careers and return to Haiti to give back to their country all that they have been given during their lives in America.
This programme reminded me of the film "Pay It Foward."Pay it Forward [DVD] [2001] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it to you.
If you haven't seen Extreme Makeover yet, switch channels, you will be glad you did.

Jackson Family
Five years ago two sisters spoke during the final days of one of their life. The dying sister asked for a promise to be made. Her sister was asked to look after her 10 children after her death. The house that this family lived in didn't exist and they spent their time moving from hotel to hotel. So there was nothing to bulldoze! The 15 people shared 3 rooms which were scattered throughout the hotel. The play area that the boys played in was the hotel car park, so they had to deal with cars during their playtime.
The team were able to build a house that everyone could live in, sufficient space for the children to do their homework, a kitchen table that they could all sit at together. The work that went into the house was as usual incredible. There was a great deal of crying, again tears of joy.
The family were sent to Disney World, during their holiday the design team went to visit the local community centre where the children spend their evenings after school. Because they live in a hotel, they can't return home until their Mum / Aunt has returned from work. So to have a homework area built in the home was an incredible bonus for them.
The community centre was provided with educational materials as they rely heavily on donations and need a great deal of resources to keep the community centre running.
This programme highlights the importance of family and the great joy that giving from the heart brings.

Extreme Makeover Show
I love this reality show so much that I felt it would be great to be able to watch it whenever I wanted to. I went online and did some hunting around and found this website. I have added the link here for you so you can also watch your favourite show as and when you feel like it.
I am not really a huge fan of reality TV shows per se, however, this one has got all the components of a programme that not only delivers great viewing, but really provides families with the much needed support and practical help that they are so desperate for. I feel that it would be so great if all communities all over the world could follow suit. I know there are many people in various countries who are doing great work for the benefit of others, this is what I truly believe will help us live in a world filled with peace love and harmony.
Extreme Makeover communicates this beautifully.

Introduction
I have been watching Extreme Makeover programmes for a few months and I am always inspired by the incredible work the team are able to do in such a short space of time. What else impresses me is the love that is expressed towards the family who experience the makeover by their friends, family and neighbours.
I decided that it would be great to provide a space here that would offer a chance for fellow fans to share their favourite stories and discuss how the programme inspires them. I am curious to know if anyone has joined together with their community to make a difference because of what this programme communicates.
I will be looking out for stories from you and really look forward to seeing how this page grows. I am not the most technical of people so the page may look a bit bare for a while as I learn how to change html and add pictures etc. If you are someone who can help with that I'd be truly grateful.
