do you constantly update/edit old hubs. or is there a minimum traffic threshold that if you don't make, you go back and edit. i'm just deciding whether it is time for some of my hubs to get a makeover or not...
I'll add something if a snippet of new information comes along, or a book or some product has been released that would make for a good addition to the Amazon capsule.
Otherwise I don't fuss or fret over old hubs.
I have no minimum traffic threshold. I can have a hub that gets no visits for a few days, and then it'll have 3, and one of those 3 visits will have a person click on an ad and it'll be worth a couple of bucks. Every topic/niche/call-it-what-you-will will have varying degrees of traffic.
I've done quite a bit of tweaking on my Hubs, but generally it's because I've learned something new - for instance, when I discovered you shouldn't have a photo at the top of your Hub, I went back and moved all my photos. And when I learned about the new keyword feature, I went and checked a lot of my Hubs for that.
If you've been learning about writing online, there's a good chance your earlier Hubs do need tweaking, but it's got nothing to do with traffic and more to do with an awareness of things you should have done.
this is all really good to know...I have many hubs with photos at the top of them...(woops)
What is the keyword feature you learned about?

I keep on getting hubs idled despite tweaking them, changing titles and adding better keywords. I have got used to moving them to other sites such as Wizzley, Xobba and InfoBarrel but it seems to be an ongoing problem. If I keep on moving my idled hubs eventually I will hardly have any left!

An ongoing topic I've seen over the years I've been on Hubpages is "How do I make my low traffic hubs better."I saw it again today in a Hub Pro thread (if you haven't already, should definitely opt in - it was a fantastic experience.)My best advice to anyone who is writing online is:If it...

Realize it may be different for each person, but based on the average hubber, I'm wondering how many hits to, say, a fairly decent hub. 100 hits? 200 hits? Some folks may get 0 , others get 10. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's too general a question, but...

I never thought I would ask that but having just looked at the large number of hubs now classified as Idle in my account why should I write any more, and what am I do with all of those already here? A lot of them are good quality writings I know because they had previously been published in hard...

In light of the recent barrage of "alleged" copyright violations from sites that use my content without my permission, I'm wondering why one particular hubber has visited one of my hubs over 600 times. I'm flattered by the attention, although, I do not see any comments from this person....

I decided to clean up my subdomain, either deleting non-productive hubs, moving them elsewhere or tweaking them into producing. Everything under 3-4 visits in a 30 day period was up for change.Problem - everything I've got that is under double digits in 30 day traffic is either very seasonal...
