Hi I have an unpublished hub which has 22 views - it took a bit to get the capsules in the right order. This is misleading - and it will show in my analytics a/c too. Where a hub has never been published (compared to published and then withdrawn) those figures shouldnt show - nor should the hub have a score of anything other than the original score they get 49?
Its not a particularly common keyword and when I try it not logged in I get a hub pages message saying the hub is not available and offering some alternatives with the same keywords - maybe that is what counts -which is a bit of a pain for my stats!
Every time you view the hub, published or not a pageview is recorded both for the purposes of the hub statistics and for analytics. You probably viewed it those 22 times while you were working on it. Those 22 views will help increase the HubScore of the hub coming out of the gate, which is reasonable since they indicate some effort was put into the construction of the hub.
We calculate HubScore for all hubs, published or not so the score will begin to change from the moment it is created. However, only currently published hubs will affect your overall user HubScore.
Hope that clears things up.
Yes it was definitely me fitting the software - so I feel somewhat vindicated for the effort it took to make the hub in question look good! So every time I click on the hub in my stats page to check the detail of the stats does that count too?
Yes, those clicks count too.
There is a way to exclude your own traffic in analytics using the Filter Manager. It is fairly easy if you have a static ip address.

This really isn't a problem, but rather something I am interested in finding out. I have a few unpublished hubs with little to no content in them, and the thing is, one of these hubs outranks one of my published hubs! I am wondering why that happens and if it is any indication of how good the hub...

After 6 months on the site i've started the really wonder how many backlinks is a reasonable number to any hub, and really to a hub becoming successful? Or is it simply a lottery.What kind of figures do other hubbers consider?

Just puzzled: How can an unpublished hub attain a higher score than any published hub? (The published hubs with lower scores must be pretty bad!)

Its funny to me that a new 1400+ word hub is still low in ranking than an unpublished hub...

I really don't mind, terribly. They seem to vote them up, even before I've finished with them.The last Hub I published I was a few days working on, and it had over 20 views and a HubScore of like, 70, before I posted it.Is there a Super Secret Insiders Club you pay to get into ~so you can read...

Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory. Will it? Just out of curiosity.
