1. add stumbleupon, reggit, flickr etc social bookmarking at the bottom of each page.
2.an interlinking section when suggesting links to your own hubs.
3. a comment limit amount on how many can be created.
4. built in seo into hubscore
5. mass tag adder
6.slideshow
7.allow scripts for the likes of comments on games extra.
8.allow videobb at least i get paid for it
9.forum overhaul with likes buttons on comments
10. Built in link builder with an editor for blogger, wordpress and other media sites.
11. built in trends from google etc.
12. have vlogs without affecting hubscore.
13. grammar checker US and UK
14. add microblogging instead of comments.
15. active reader, a text to voice of your hub.
16. add rank algorithm according to level of english.
1. Most of these are available when you clicks "share" at the bottom of a hub.
2. You can use the suggest a link tool; or when you create a hyperlink naturally there's a list that shows of ALL your hubs to choose from.
3. Why would you limit comments? You can just delete those you don't want. You could miss out on a good comment that brings you more traffic.
4. Uh why? Hub and author score have nothing to with earning. They're mostly there to stop spammers by changing low scoring authors to nofollow. Google doesn't even see the scores, it's internal only.
5. Since a short article should only have 5-10 articles, is there a point? You already get tag suggestions. Ultimately your tags should be your keywords so it needn't be a "mass" thing.
6. There is a slideshow. You need more than six (five?) photos. You can turn it on and off too.
7. Huh?
8. Shall we add every affiliate you personally get paid for then? No one will want to visit the site if we max out on affiliates.
9. The site is already turning into facebook. Are you trying to make people lazier instead of forcing them to state an opinion INSTEAD of click a button?
10. You really think Hubpages is willingly going to help the spammers by making spammy external links easier?
11. Why don't you just watch Google trends yourself? You can see keywords sending traffic to your hubs and graphs with sources anyway.
12. This is a writing site. Not youtube.
13. Most people have this in their browser.
14. Spammy and not suitable.
15. Most people who need these types of programs have them for their whole computer.
16. And how exactly are the site owners meant to MEASURE the level of English? The score is automatic, it can't magically tell how good someone is at English. And it's a moot point, as mentioned above, because scores are an internal thing, nothing to do with getting you more traffic.
You've been here four days. You're not the first newbie to think they know all the answers. You won't be the last. But if you don't like it you don't have to hang around - you might be better on your own site or on a video site.
Great answer, RedSturtz, I agree 100%.
I think for no. 5 you meant to say "a short article should only have 5-10 TAGS". I agree, HubPages actually penalizes you if you add too many tags - so a mass tag adder would be pretty dumb!

Every article on every niche site links back to the HubPages domain via our profile links. That's right, each and every niche site has hundreds of links to a website that Google hates. There is no way this is a good thing. Shouldn't something be done about that?

Hi everyone,Since Google's updates these past couple of months, I've noticed a significant traffic drop (about 20%). Every time I gain some traction and hope, it's a case of going back two steps again. I'm sure I'm not alone! I thought it might be a good idea to start a healthy discussion here to...

I've been updating and removing hubs. I haven't settled on a plan for good hubs that don't get traffic. Curious what others do. My top 40 hubs are 85% of traffic. I culled the heard and have been focused on my best hubs.Once I'm through them I'll come up with a plan for the rest.

How is it that a hub on the 'common mistakes new hubbers make' can suddenly become not featured, in spite of the fact it has had 9 views in a day, 24 views in 7 days and 35 views in the last 30 days? I only replied to comments on it both 42 hours ago and 22 hours ago (from two different hubbers)....

Just curious, but does anyone have experience with this? How'd you do it? Did you tell Google the article moved somehow or do anything else fancy? Or did you just copy, paste, delete from HubPages, and wait for Google to catch up?Im guessing there might be some duplicate content penalties from...

This site has been suggested as a way to get traffic. I spent a few hours, which turned into 3 days, to figure out how to navigate it. It appears to be a site about links, not really content, but they get angry if you post links? What am I missing? I had to go on under 3 names, but I tried to leave...
