I have an idled Hub that is the sixth Hub in a series of five on the same subject. I have "awakened" it for now, but if it remains idled, how will that effect the other five if someone seaches for and finds one of the others and clicks on that link?
I have a temporary "bandaid" on the Hub, but you know how that is.......
Seems to me that linking to a noindex page should not be a bad thing. But who the heck knows these days...?
The links live on with traffic that comes from other sources such as social networks.
I don't think it affects the links. But since they are idle, the links most likely aren't picking up traffic. But don't quote me as I get more confused as time goes on:)
The other five Hubs are getting decent traffic, just this last one of the series never got much traffic. I can see why it was idled although I thought it was a good, informative Hub. Google just never liked it! I'm just concerned about the other five. I sure don't want to delete this Hub. If the other five Hubs are not in danger, I'll just leave it alone, I guess.

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)....

This is a two-fold issue. I know we're in the middle of a Google Typhoon or whatever animal is wreaking havoc this month plus the summer traffic is, well, obviously somewhere else. In January/February of this year, my traffic was around 2000 views per day. Right now, I'm lucky if I crack 400. I'm...

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!

As I have found today! I was led to believe that hubs of 75 and over were worth holding on to but obviously not! I just had one with a score of 81 getting the zzs!

How high are your not featured hubs numbers?It seems like my unfeatured hubs are multiplying rapidly, exponentially...is anyone else experiencing this recent phenomenon?

How many times do you edit an idled Hub before deleting it? Or do you keep it idled so that links to it are still good? Also, for what reasons do you either leave it idled or delete it or still try to fix it? I have one Hub which I've edited a few times, and this last time after I edited it, it...
