Why is my score on hubpages going down despite the fact I am writing more and more hubs?
You know what, I can't ever seem to keep mine in the 90s any more...maybe it's because I don't write as many comments on others' hubs. Try posting to the forums and answering some questions, usually that helps my score out but lately I just don't have the time to sit and try to appease the hubpage gods. Good luck!
It may be my misreading of it, but the appearance is that Hub Pages is deemphasizing the writing and placing more importance on the social media aspect of the site. Perhaps its management has decided that is where the growth and revenue lie.
I too think and have seen it in my cases too that the more I am active on the forums or in the question & answer section, the healthier the score which keeps in the 90's which otherwise kepps near the mid80's mark.
Strange but true.
Prehaps because when hubs are first published they have low scores. If you are publishing a lot of hubs, it will pull your average hub score down for a while until the new hubs gett higher ratings.
I think it is that the lower hubs on the newer hubs are lowering your average. I am willing to take a temporary hit to my score, knowing that my new hubs are high quality and will increase in just a little while. Over time, as I have more and more hubs, the newer ones will not make as much of an impact, as there will be more older ones to keep the score more stable.

produces: anxiety!C'mon, Hubpages! I've been a good boy. I've improved my hubs. I've been "awarded" a Level 2 Commentator (oh joy.) My personal story of near death and survival is consistently coming up TWICE (original hub and five year follow up) in Google search on page one out of over...

I looked at my hub scores today and cried. They have been falling steadily for two weeks from 70's & 80's to 60's and 70's with one 59. Today, one of my hubs has fallen to a 50. HP is sending me mixed signals. I am told to write in a niche that I am passionate about with...

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!

HI. I sorta like HP. I find some of what the rest of the people here have to say interesting. But let's be honest. I'm hear for the backlinks. I am writing hubs as part of my SEO. Problem is I can't get my score over 66 much less up to the 75 mark and I'm getting tired of it. I hop hubs every day,...

Am active on the forums, and getting a few new fans and joining up with a few writers...things look good. Then when I post a new hub my points go down 2-3 points and creep back up within 2-3 days. Does anyone know why, do I need to post 2 new hubs at a time? Am not able to post a...
