Whether you want to monetize your hubs or not, you may have more ways to generate better trafficking. Without too much effort working on contents, without traffic makes you just reading your own work on your end. On a positive note, you can create internal traffic with Hubpages through interaction with other Hubbers.
You can comment on their Hubs and give suggestions to people. This will not only create interest but will also give chances for you to be viewed by them as well. And for the bottomline, what makes this much possible is the creation of quality contents that will surely help readers especially those targeted under your niche.
