It is all about linking and working things together. Think out side the box and you'll do find with traffic.
Links: See this is something people don't seem to value as much as keywords. This is one big way to increase traffic. This does not mean you will make more money, as not all links will do that.
Linking between hubs is a must, and links between hubs of yours is a way to get traffic between your hubs. Think like a business and link between hubs well.
In this case it is the exposure you get from traffic of different sources that give you a chance. For example traffic between hubs tend to improve with links. But traffic begins to increase with links to the various social networking sites: Stumble Upon, and Digg, but that does not mean money.
Traffic from social networking sites might not give you much money, but it gives tou exposure and traffic, and if you want ot make money, you need traffic. Traffic will continue to come and people will continue to comment if you have...
Great Quality Content: In other words know your stuff, as many of my followers can say, I am here to teach, and to learn and often I go and read other hubs to see how they do things better than me.
Content is vital, if you are doing a photo gallery you need some comment under the photos. Understand that the better the content the more traffic you will get int eh end, but not right away. My very first hub I wrote here still gets traffic, but it took time before it really became a traffic hub, see that took time.
The one thing I did to improve the traffic to it was to edit it, fix the mistakes and add a few links to it via other hubs. I also put it on social networking sites and added some amazon and a comment under the photo. Not all in one go but over the course of a week.
Improved the content, and the traffic and commenting was improved as well. Still to get people you need...
Followers: there are about a millions ways to get followers, and some work well and some do not. One thing that has worked for me, is to read their hubs and comment on another writers hubs and then follow them and add fan mail.
Now I also check their hubactivity. You can find this on their profile, directly beside the followers that they have. In other words I go to their profile, and if this person gets a lot of followers, but tend not to comment on their own hubs, or simply follow everyone and then some, or put hub after hub and do not comment, I tend to ask will this person add something as a follower if I follow them?
If it seems that they have a high score and seem to be on hubpages and have a fair decent following chances are they will comment on your hubs at some point. Now they might now follow you but still they might become someone who goes to your hubs often.
Never under estimate the value of going to others and commenting then following.
When the Magic Happens: I would say when the magic happens is when you begin to put all five together, some great content, some interactivity, some links, some comment on others hubs ( to the best of your ability!) and of course, quality quality quality.
Yes, you should go and look at your traffic sources and find which ones you want to focus on and then learn about them. In the end this might not make money, but it will get traffic.
If you want traffic you need to do all five of these points some day. Just remember think like a business: exposure and customer satisfaction. Networking all all that helps, but you need to think long term.
To your success.
