I have got an "editor's choice" mark for one of my hubs. And now?
Hi all,
I have got an "editor's choice" mark for one of my hubs that makes me very happy:
http://hubpages.com/hub/how-do-you-know … e-is-lying
Anyway I still don't know what is the real advantage about that. Should I expect more traffic on that hub? At the moment it looks like the traffic is still the same.
Thanks for any of your answers.
The jury's still out on whether it has a major effect on traffic. My first Hub that got the Editor's Choice nod seemed to benefit greatly. It's still pulling in a few dozen views a day.
However, afterwards some of my older Hubs started getting the Editor's Choice tag and it didn't make much traffic difference at all. I'd get a couple of views here, a couple there but overall they didn't get a sudden "bump" and haven't performed any better or worse than they would've without the E.C. tag.
Editor's Choice has had no effect on any of my hubs which have received this award. In fact, in some cases they make less traffic than hubs that aren't editor's choice.

My "Inside the Beehive" hub just got the "Editor's Choice" award. After reading the posts about Editor's Choice, I feel like it is like getting the key to the city. It is a great honor, but it's not good for any thing. It doesn't even show up on my profile...

I was really excited when some of my hubs were awarded Editor's Choice, but it seemed to make little difference to number of page views to those hubs. However, getting two HOTD has been great! One of my HOTD was also an Editor's Choice and one wasn't. Both got huge spikes in views from HP but not a...

Wondering where we stand with regard to a new accolade for having more than 5 EC hubs or even a way for people to see this special distinction publicly on our hubs. Right now, we are the only ones who can see it - on our account statistics. I'm tempted to opt out at this point. Is there anyone else...

So I'm replying to a comment on my hub and upon scrolling through the hub (I always check for errors or how I can improve), I see the related hubs section. There are five hubs there including one of mine. What immediately got my attention is that the other four hubs has "editors choice"...
