On another thread, it's been highlighted that many Questions are poor quality. Even a good quality Question can get very few answers, if it's not of interest to fellow Hubbers.
Assuming Questions are indexed, why wouldn't low quality Questions be just as damaging to HubPages as low quality Hubs? Can Google tell the difference between a Question page and a Hub page?
I'd be the first to say that I'm not a fan of the Featured process for Hubs, but since Questions aren't subject to as many quality standards as Hubs, something needs to be done.
LOL @Judi Bee.
It's not a bad idea, though we've got our hands full with Hubs as it is, and we would have to develop an entirely different rating system for Questions. It's something we'll surely consider in the long run, but probably not over the next couple of months.
Thanks for the suggestion, Marisa Wright!
I guess my point is that you're spending a lot of time worrying about middling-quality Hubs, when you only have to look at Questions to see they are some of the worst content on HubPages.
Since the Panda score is based on the worst pages on a site, I'd have thought the priority should be to address the worst aspects first.

Right at one third of my hubs have been idled over recent months here on HubPages. As I look at the numbers and reflect upon the time spent creating this unique material, I am sadly disappointed. It is unpleasant to look into the future with so many people having this same problem and...

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)....

Many good quality pages are Idled (become unfeatured) via ‘Analysis of the how engaged readers are with a Hub over an extended period of time’ – essentially because they get low traffic.It appears that this process was initiated to reduce the number of ‘low quality’ pages on the site. The concept...

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...

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...
