Why some hubbers have just "one" score . What does it reflect?
usually I notice that these hubbers do have lot of followers but less numbers of hubs. Is there any limit of having number of followers
If you see a Hubber with a very low Hubscore, it suggests he or she has broken the rules somewhere.
Most likely, their Hubs are not original. The other common reason is that they join HubPages and go on a "following" spree, thinking it will somehow earn money. They can get lots of followers that way, because some people are silly enough to follow back, without even looking at the person's profile.
If you follow too many people, HubPages will penalise you heavily.
Marisa W is correct; it usually means that rules have been broken and the "follower spree" syndrome seems to be right too.
Follow those whose writing appeals to you.
Following indiscriminately can get you lower profile scores or worse. Following a large number of hubbers does not affect you in any way if it is done legitimately.
thank you both of you i got the answer and yes it logical as well

Just a quick question, as above, does having followers help your hubs/hubscore?

Why is it that some hub writers have near 1,000 followers but only follow less than 100 writers?I notice that there is a wide gap between the followers and the followed on hub pages. Some have hundreds of followers but only follow a very small percentage back. Is this because all those...

Does it hurt your feelings if someone unfollows you?Mary615 recently wrote a hub asking the question "What Makes You Decide To Unfollow A Fellow Hubber?" It sparked a lot of comments, but it got me thinking. Why do I want followers? Presumably it's because they will be interested in...
