I know I've seen this asked before but I'm being a tard on the answer to this- Does having low scoring unpublished hubs bring your overall score down?
I have 5 lingering hubs that I just can't quite get myself to finish yet-
At the time I started them I was all gung ho and now I can't seem to get the interest back to finish them.............
Good to know! I was also asking myself the same question and was tempted to delete one of my very low score unpubllished hubs. Thanks guys!
Hi Violet:)
I asked this question about weather to delete low scoring hubs to increase hubber score and the advice from HPs was to improve the hub to increase the score which im always doing all the time and works! also if they are hubs you cannot improve and your not proud of then delete them..
Good luck:)

Oh, wow, I didn't think of this! I was talking about unpublished hubs, but its good to know about the published ones with low scores. I tend to forget about my old hubs even if I may read them again now and then. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention, as I see some of my older hubs getting too low in score from lack of activity. Sending you a cyber xoxoxo.
So, re-writing, adding, improving an existing hub is a good thing? It's not static once it's published? What if the score is just dwindling due to age...although my "good" hubs seem to stay pretty good. Who knew? Two of my "best" hubs have been request answers...both sort of 'off' the way I thought I'd write, or at least what I thought I'd write about...has anyone else had that happen?
I've gone back and added and changed things on hubs at times, and it has helped the score.
That's one of the reasons I like Hubpages, you can do that anytime. With some other writing sites you are stuck and can't change things when you want.
I just finished updating one of my older hubs; added new pics, links and a video, and pinged it, as per the suggestion of IMhustle in another thread
http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/5526#post57359
I am going to be tracking the hub to see if it works. Realize I have been too passive with my hubs- I write them and forget them.
Ooops!!..My answer was because i thought you said "Published" hubs"!!
I have a friend that would like to join hubpages, can anyone tell me how I can send her a link that would also give me credit for her signing up? I read somewhere where you can do this, but forgot where to find my link. Thanks
Remember to check the sticky FAQ thread for answers to questions like these... That's what it's there for. (DrummerBoy, you can find the answer to your question there too )

It is advantageous to delete one's own low scoring hubs that have little traffic. I figure getting rid of the low score would increase the average of the rest of one's hubs.What do you think?

Sometimes when I have ideas for hubs, I "start a hub" and sometimes finish it later or just let it sit there for a while. Maybe I should just write down my hub ideas instead. Does it hurt my hub scores or overall hubber score to have those unfinished hubs (often with just titles) sitting...

I have a few hubs that I wrote about 10 years ago when I first started writing on hubpages that are not very good. They are pretty thin on content and get little or no traffic now. Some of them have even been unpublished due to lack of traffic or for quality. I am not disputing that they are not...

Have you ever chosen to delete any of your hubs?If so, why? Did it have the affect that you were looking for?

Just a quick question, when I first started here and was finding my way around, I answered some requests. Those hubs were really hublets as the questions were quite random and I didn't know enough about hubpages then to give a good long-winded answer. Those hubs didn't get many views...

One or two of my hubs have fallen victim to the "does not meet quality standards" empty bubble.In one case, I imagine it is because the hub falls under the "purely personal" category, better suited to a blog. That's fine. I can move it. (It's an older hub...
