I am new to HubPages and currently have an article that is an "In the Spotlight" featured Hub, however it has the lowest views out of all my articles. I have gone back and edited a couple that are now up for review but seeing as how this one is featured, I did not see a need to edit it.
Any suggestions on how to attract more views? I would love some comments under the article to know what you guys think.

Thank you!
Hi Stephanie, when in doubt I look at the stellar hub recommendations, they seem to help a lot to get more traffic..
You can find them here
https://hubpageshelp.com/content/Learni … tellar-Hub
Also, keep writing. The more hubs the better. Especially if they are related to each other. At least that has been my experience.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the link Robie. I will continue to write and take into account what the Stellar Hub recommendations are. Your help is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time!
I think you're misunderstanding what Featured means.
When the Featured/unFeatured system was introduced, a Featured Hub was just a normal Hub. UnFeatured Hubs were called "Idle Hubs". They changed the names because people were getting upset about it, but it doesn't change what it means!
A Featured Hub is just a normal Hub. If a Hub is unFeatured, it means HubPages doesn't think it's good enough to show to the general public. You can still get views by sharing it on social media but otherwise, it won't get traffic.
As Robie suggests, take a look at the Stellar Hub recommendations - you don't have to include ALL the suggested features, (for instance sometimes a poll doesn't make sense), just tick as many as you can. Also look at your Hub in "Mobile preview" and make sure the photos look right.
Finally, I have a Hub about how to use photos legally - you'll find it in the spotlight on the profile. Please read it and make sure you've used photos that are legal, as it can be an expensive mistake if you get sued!
Also, you choose which Hubs appear in the Spotlight section of your profile.
Thank you for all the tips Marisa. I understand that unfeatured will not be seen by the general public perusing HubPages. Of course my goal is to be searchable and Featured without having to promote via a direct link on social media. I have taken a look at the Stellar Hub recommendations and will try to incorporate what I have missed. I appreciate your feedback.

On a different account, somewhat "experimental" account, one of my Hubs is unfeatured. Generally my inclination was to unpublish it and move it or just delete it. But I kept it and put it in a Hub group. Meaning, if the Hubs before and after it get traffic, possibly the unfeatured one...

I was just wanting a few other opinions about this type of unfeatured hub. Lately I have had like three go on the unfeatured list due to lack of traffic. They are some of my first posts here, and I am posting them back on social media sites, but I'm not so sure it's important to me at this point to...

How high are your not featured hubs numbers?It seems like my unfeatured hubs are multiplying rapidly, exponentially...is anyone else experiencing this recent phenomenon?

I'm thinking the answer is probably yes?If you have hubs that have been deemed "not featured", for one reason or another, will that factor into lowering your overall score/rating as a HubPages member? Example--let's say your overall rating is 75. If 10 non featured hubs become...

I have only ever had one featured hub before but when I checked my account today I was shocked to find I have 13 in featured hubs due to low engagement. This is proof that traffic has fallen greatly. It's not just my lowest scoring hubs either..it is right across the board. Is anyone else...

I just logged into my account and noticed that I have close to 30 hubs that are unfeatured due to engagement? Why did this happen all of a sudden? Is there anything I can do to make them featured again?
