So whats your secret Hubkarma score?
- pinkyleeposted 13 years ago
0 I realize that. I'm referring to more than 2 links back to your own hubs. I usually link within the text to other related hubs of my own.
with the link took, sometimes our own hubs are suggested. I'm simply saying, if you already have 2 links to your own hubs, if you have too many links to your own hubs, doesn't the 2 link rule apply?
It's only a number, and one I can assure you goes higher than 62 (via my own personal experience). If you're looking to raise it up, consider this:
Hubkarma is all about generating links to other hubs that will keep hubbers moving around Hubpages. So, the goal is to create links that will keep readers in constant motion. Here's a tip that seems to work for me:
When you create a link, consider the context. Example:
This is the best *fishing rod* for catching walleye bass I have ever found.
Fishing rod is the word we want to key on, so when we click to see what pages we can link to we are looking for the ones with the highest hub scores that pertain to *the best fishing rod*. Also, we are looking for hubs from *other* people, not ourselves, as we are looking to spread the links - and the hublove.
Ask yourself this ... if you clicked on that link, is it the article you would expect to see? If so, it's a great Karma link. And why would you want to do this?
Page value increases in Google when it brings traffic to the page and when it sends traffic out. As such, you are helping yourself by being an active part of a good chain, which in turn, benefits you and others.
This is what Hubkarma is designed to do.
As such, put your mind in the frame of the reader and try to out-think what they would expect to find on that click - and provide it to them! Also, do not place links next to each other and I recommend no more than 2 per hub, as you don't want it to appear like a Kontera page.
If you follow this process through and hit up quite a few of your hubs, you'll see your hubkarma rise.
I think somebody's broke the knob off the Karmama machine
Last night my Karma Chameleon was 36, and now it's 77 and I haven't done anything relating to my hubs at all...go figure.
Just another number to amuse ourselves with
Let's just get back to writing, shall we...damn the torpedoes

My hubkarma score went up two points ! I just wanted to warn everybody I am spreadin the love !
Well, I must admit I'm not such an expert, but surely linking out cannot have a great importance, at least for the writer, otherwise all spammers of the world would use that technique linking to everything. Being so difficult to be found on the net I think putting some link at the end of the hub it's the best thing to do, as I want my hub to be read completely. And then possibly that the reader proceeds to some other hubs of mine.
It might be that linking to other sites has a positive effect on traffic, but as regards ranking I'm pretty sure that what matters are link from the outside to the hub, and not the contrary. Otherwise spammers and scammers would do it all the time.
As regards Flagships hubs and other internal rules it can be that those rules or advices are good for the website as a whole, not sure about for the writer.Sunforged you are probably right, the only problem is that all those great additions to the site before being an advantage also for the singular writer need time, if ever, and if the time is too long who knows where the writer has gone when the advantage arrives? As for the links, one thing is exchanging links, another one is linking and hoping that someone else does the same to you.
That's awesome! Congrats on that. It's much harder to win without entering. I'm impressed. When you have the big beer bash to celebrate, I would not like to be an univited writer.

It means you need to link to my stuff in some of your most popular articles, Habee. I recommend my Vlad the Inhaler one, it needs traffic, and you need to raise that score. Link it to like your top ten traffic hubs and I'm sure that will help.
For no reason that is apparent to me, I have gone up 12 points in Karma. A more acceptable 54.

Is it good to have high hub karma score
My hub karma score is going high. I don't know if this means I am over linked to other hubs. But some how the traffic is down.No idea if this is because of linking. Does it make sense to believe that those to whom we link will link back to our hubs?
