Is it better to update a hub with updated information or write it as a new hub?
As per a revenue and traffic standpoint, is it better to edit an existing hub or start a new one?
In my opinion, edit it. Most sleeping Hubs can be edited 99.99% of the time. It will save you time and also views lost.
This is actually one of my most active hubs. That is why I was questioning it. I'd love to know what you think of this. It's just that the content needs an update.
I agree with JThomp42, I just recently updated about 3 of my sleeping hubs and they have awakened. I added fresh info, links as well as video to them to give them that fresh feel and now what was once sleeping is featured.
If you update your hubs regularly it is going to improve traffic from search engines especially google. Google has always preferred quality content which is updated regularly instead of new content.

Hi fellow hubbers! I’m wanting to see what you all do in this case. I’m wanting to improve some of my articles that I have already written. Do you find that it helps their score and traffic when you do edit them? Does it really help or do you think it’s just best sometimes to start over completely...

Some articles you can add to (or update?) every week, but should you? Does anyone know if how often you add to an article changes (positively or negatively) your views, earning potential, etc.

Many of us here are working hard to upgrade our hubs so that they can be moved to the niche sites. I think it would be a good idea if those upgrades are viewed by the team the same way as new posts so that they can more quickly addressed. It's a shame to let much better upgraded...
