Does rotating your "In the Spotlight" hubs on your profile monthly increase traffic overall?
Or should you stick to your best scoring 6 hubs or those with good keyword potential? Those 6 hubs are the most likely for people to read if they click your profile page.
I switch mine around everytime I publish a new hub. I add hubs that have done well but aren't currently to give them a boost. I don't even put my best performing hub up there anymore because it's doing okay. I spotlight the most popular hubs and those that I want people to read. I find that rotating does help overall with traffic even if it's slight.
I have not found the Spotlighted hubs to gain any advantage at all. It seemed like a good idea, but I've had no discernible results.
I don't know if there is any correlation between the spotlight hubs and traffic, but I do like to use it to showcase seasonal hubs, like for christmas or valentine's day. That way, if anyone does stumble on my profile, they'll be more likely to click again. It's a tool that gives us a bit more control over our presence here, and even if it doesn't equal more traffic, I appreciate it.
I rotate the Spotlight Hubs every now and then. Especially for Hubs that don't get much traffic, I see a difference after changing them.
As far as for the increase of money....that's a totally different story but I don't care since I'm not in it for the money. I enjoy Hubpages a lot and I like the Spotlight Hubs, to pimp your profile once in a while.
i add in my new published hubs in "Spotlight" Could see some viewers but no increase in earnings.

I seldom write product hubs, and only write them if I use and like the product. I have four hubs like this. They have never been in my list of possible hubs to put in the "Featured" spot on my profile page, although they all have over 85 scores. This makes it even more impossible than it...

I joined hubpages one month ago and started writing hubs on weekends because I am very busy on working days. I have published 12-13 hubs right now and they are featured (12 of them while the 13th is still under review). Though my score on each hub is above 50 but I am seeing no traffic coming on my...
