I am in the process of creating one Hub Page (with plans to create more no. of hub pages).

Whether the content in the hub pages and the articles be the same topic and contents. Moreover, whether I can create the same squidoo lens as that of hub pages. If it can be same for both, whether Google will take it negatively or not.

I am intending to create these hub pages and articles for the purpose of SEO only.

I am little confused on this. Kindly help.

Your reply would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance

Short primer that picks up what several members already said (, , , , ): publishing identical articles across multiple properties is not a reliable SEO shortcut. Search engines will generally pick one version to show and may ignore or consolidate the rest, so copying the same text to HubPages, Squidoo, or any other site usually wastes effort rather than multiplying benefit. Google: Demystifying duplicate-content concerns. (developers.google.com)

If the same topic must appear on different platforms, make each copy genuinely different: change the angle, add original examples or data, rewrite the intro and headings, use unique images and captions, and tailor the calls-to-action to that audience. When verbatim republication is unavoidable, prefer technical signals (redirects or rel="canonical") or noindex copies so search engines know which version you want ranked. Monitor indexation with Search Console to confirm which URL is being chosen. Google: consolidate duplicate URLs / rel=\"canonical\". (developers.google.com)

On links and anchors: avoid the “100 near-identical pages all linking with the same exact-match anchor” approach. Diversify anchor text (branded, generic, descriptive phrases), keep links editorial and contextual, and do not run large-scale article/link campaigns whose main purpose is link-building — that pattern draws scrutiny. Likewise, avoid automated spinning or mass AI-generation aimed at manipulating rankings; Google treats automation used primarily to game search as spam. Google: limits on large-scale article/link campaigns. (developers.google.com) Google: guidance on AI/automated content. (developers.google.com)

Practical takeaway for : quality over quantity. A smaller number of well-crafted, unique hubs plus sensible, varied links will outperform a hundred near‑duplicates. Note that Squidoo’s lenses were merged into HubPages in 2014, so check the current platform rules before publishing. HubPages announcement on Squidoo. (blog.hubpages.com)

Is better to use different unique texts for both, because google can penalize one for duplicate content. No matter if is the same theme. If you need it for seo, also I suggest you to use other techniques as articles marketing and forum posts.

In that case, whether I could create hub pages with various text links (anchor text) pointing to my website, without writing articles.

Whatever you do, do it for the improvement of the Internet visitor's experience. By trying to please the search engine primarily, you'll actually discourage it from giving you improved ranking.

Create optimized content that is intended for the Internet visitor first. The search engines like that.

i think you should create different articles for both squidoo and hupages sites. kmachine was right, seems to be duplicated content to the search engines if you publish the same article for both sites.

Agree with Fred. At a conference earlier this year the underlying thread of the whole day was creating a web experience for the user and not the SEs.

Posting articles in Squidoo and Hubpages must be uniquely done and same theme but different content and subject.

You cant. Hubpages requires a certain amount of words per link, or will prevent to publish the article.

YES. I read it in the terms and conditions of hubpages.com. I wish to create a 100 page articles of around 10. On each article, I wish to give two links to my website. Is that acceptable to hub pages.

Any advice / suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
