      I would love to have a 100 hubber score, congratulations to you CMHypno. My hub karma is 98, it's not hard to raise it. Just link all your hubs to others. It really help with traffic as well. It raised mine a bit.

    Mine is 63, although probably all down to my '50 great hubs by 50 great hubbers' series... as I don't tend to link to other hubbers.

  6. Jule Romans profile image95
    Jule Romansposted 13 years ago

    Mine is 63, too. I  have under 50 hubs. With this lower number of hubs, I think my proportion of links to other hubbers is  relatively high. It's interesting, though, because I think I have only created three or four deliberate links to other hubbers. I have used a tag-based rss feed that includes MOSTLY my own articles, but has one or two other authors' hubs  mixed in. Wonder if that has something to do with it?

        That's true, at the beginning I started out with only 35 and with some linking I'm up to 98. So it changes, just do the linking, with the linking tool.

      (I don't know about anyone else, but I think this thread, alone, may be improving "real-life" Karma if it's as funny for everyone else as I'm finding it.  I'm not sure I've ever seen "the natives" as restless as they/we are over this one.   smile  )

      It's something - like the "following" feature and the accolades/milestones - that I suspect is aimed squarely at people who are really into social networking sites. 

      But it's mercifully easy to ignore and doesn't affect your hubs' search engine rankings so to me it's water off a duck's back, so to speak... said the person with a lowly hub karma of 46 lol  (Maybe I'll come back as a dung beetle in my next life...)

    IzzyMposted 13 years ago

    Last night when the hubkarma started I was 48 or was it 38? Can't remember but posted it anyway. I put three rss feed capsules in my top 3 hubs below the comments section, linking to one word that exactly described the hub topic. Most of the rss feeds have redirected back to my own hubs, but not all.
    Today hubkarma is 72, but don't know if it is related or not as everyone else's seem to have changed too without making changes to hubs.
    I couldn't put contextual links in because Firefox is returning a script error every time I try.

    Just another thought ... Before I used the new link suggestion thingy my hubkarma was 40, but all the links i had were to my own hubs. So why wasn't my score lower? I wouldnt have thought links to your own hubs counted? And most of my links weren't in the text either, they in a link capsule at the side.

      It's supposed to be based on how much your hubs link to other hubs, but it doesn't seem to matter to HP if they are links to your own hubs or other peoples'. Linking to your own hubs might work.

                All of my poem hubs are linked to each other. All my celebrity hubs and model hubs are linked to each other.

                I have several articles that have embedded links and even related articles(links capsules).

                So, internal I am going to town and have very few backlinks that I myself have made. I only have my blog and Redgage.

                I have only a couple of articles and comment capsules pointing directly to other hubbers. Except for my poetry hub, which has an RSS feed for other writers, it actually has two feeds.
