   I see you've left the big roundup and headed into greener pastures. It's a good thing, too. I was running out of old west colloquialisms! Great job, Patty. And good luck to all the wannabes!

   Zsuzsy, it's so lovely to see you at the polls so faithfully every week.  What a loyal newbie supporter! 
   
   I also have cast my vote for the week.
   
   Wonder which Wannabe is going to do the most promoting of their hub to drive up votes?  Hmmmm.

    I am thrilled to have my hub selected for the HubNugget Wannabe competition!!  Thanks to everyone who selected me!
    
    This is a great way to network with fellow writers, and I really appreciate the extra exposure!  I'm new to HubPages - well, I guess all of the nominees would be - and I appreciate all the traffic I can get!
    
    Thanks again, everyone!

       Hmmmn I presume you are correct, but I hope we hubnuggets wannabes past and present we'll never like the greyhounds I posted in my newest hub... selected and culled again in the voting process then forsaken at the end... I'm not really happy with my profile score now of 92 I'm stuck with this score for two days already, the promotional prize seemed to be not working for me, i'm not getting good number of traffic for the past few days, and I'm getting lonely already and disappointed... especially seeing one from my batch a HubNugget like me getting all the attention and promotions, i love her though but I can't help myself getting jealous... But its okay with me, maybe my hubs are not that good enough and big improvements and makeovers should be done to make it even more competitive... it was an irony i'm getting good profile score when i was not part of the hubnugget wannabe but it tumbled down from 95-96 to just 92 now...

          Please don't despair, General.  It's perfectly normal for traffic and hub scores to ebb and flow.  It happens that way for all of us.
          
          If you keep writing hubs and mingling, it will continue to climb (and dip).  The passing of time helps, too.  The longer you're here and active, the more stable your score will become.  Still, it and your traffic will always wax and wane.
          
          Your hub was of quality good enough to be chosen from more than 2,000 hubs.  No worries, you talent shines.

             Hehehe that was a moving post there thanks for clearing the cobwebs off my head and for the great info too...
             All of a sudden my profile score reach 96 again, hmm I wonder I why...
             I just realized getting a profile/author high score is the most important for me here, I wish I could reach 100, hehehe that is my ultimate dream here...

       Easy, Sandra.  You just email either ProCW, Patty Inglish, B.T. Evilpants or myself and make your suggestion.  We always look at nominations but we can't promise or guarantee that they'll be chosen.  They have to fit the criteria.
       
       Feel free to suggest away.

             Sending the hub link is best, however, it does have to have been published in the previous seven days of the HubNuggets week (Wed.) Our report is listed by hub title and these days, contain 2,500 - 2,800 hubs.
             
             Hope that helps.

    Well General, it took me several months at least to hit 100; a little longer still to spend some time staying there.  My score still dips down as low as 96 sometimes.  That's okay because I know it's going up again.
    
    Emi's right, you'll get there, too.

I want to do my part to keep the newer newbies hubbing. Hoping some of this makes sense. I'm off...see you in the polls!

    The highest my Hub score has been is only 90.  I assume this is because I've only written 8 hubs, though.  But, I'm with GeneralHowitzer - I'm shooting for 100, or at least a 97 to 99!
    
    I've also noticed that keyword searches return results from hubbers with higher scores, correct?

    I'm not sure it has anything to do with it, but my score picks up for a couple of days when I publish a hub. If I don't publish for a few days, it drops down again.
