      Hi,
      
      When your profile score will be 75 then automatically your links will be dofollw.

      You don't see them, but the figures above denote what is follow/no follow on hubpages. You need to have a profile score of 75 and hubs need to be 40 or above to be followed.

      There is many tools like seo quake and searchstatus they tell that link is do-follow or no-follow.
      
      Or simply right click on link and in properties it shows no-follow or do-follow

   HubPages staff's telepathy to pick up our grumbles is notoriously unreliable, so they have a neat REPORT button on each post...  Use it and don't feed people's ego's by interacting with them.

      Yes hubchief, you need to have a reasonable score to be followed, so hubpages sets a bottom score limit. 40 for a hub and 75 for your hubber score shown on your profile.

         I'm confused.  Does and individual hub have to have over 40 and the hubbers score be above 75 or one or the other.  Say for instance I had a hub of 50 buy my hubber score was 70 would the links be do follow?
         
         Thanks in advance for your response.

            No they'd be Nofollow. If your hubber score is under 75 all links will be nofollow, regardless of individual hub scores. If your hubber score is over 75, any of your hubs scoring over 40 will be Dofollow, any under 40 will be NoFollow.

    1) You need to adhere to the TOS and content policies of Hubpages.
    
    2) Continue to write and publish quality, original contents.
    
    3) Regularly read and comment on the hubs of a manageable group among the hubbers you follow.  Better follow on a regular basis same hubbers, rather than at random.
    
    4) Participate in the forum discussions and help the new hubbers by answering to their queries and concerns.

    Further, it is an automated system which is not always foolproof. I have found deserving established hubbers hovering around 90 or even below while those who do not have even 10% of their stake nearing 100.
    
    Again, so far as earnings is concerned, you need only 80 or 85 as dofollow starts at 75.  It through outside searches through search engines that you make most of the earnings for which a highest hubber score is not essential, but quality content with good SEO is necessary.  Conversely, a highest hubber score is no assurance for good earnings.

    For improving the hub score, in addition  to the aforementioned aspects, you need to have good SEO to generate organic search.

    How long does it take to get 75 author score so my links become dofollow. I am probably being a bit impatient as I have only been on hubpages about 9 days and have only two hubs.
    
    Any advice how to boost my score or is it just a matter of writing quality hubs (if so how many before I get 75?)
    
    Thanks for the help

    We should all really gather up & protest this policy, because 75 is a too high threshold for a do-follow link. It's simply unacceptable that we participate, share original content & make them rich while they don't even bother giving us a small recognition for our efforts!

       1. Why on earth would you bump a two year old old thread?
       2. You can write 5 quality hubs, leave the account alone for two weeks and it'll hit 80. Without interacting on any part of the site. The scores are there JUST to stop spammers and it's REALLY easy to get over 75.

       Was at 80 a few weeks back, but they dropped me right below 75 - what i meant WryLilt was that even if you're not a spammer, you still need to put  work into more than 2 hubs to get your links "out" - anyways thanks for your replies!

    I'm not sure if this is true anymore, for example my hubscore is over 75 and my hubs are all over 70 with their individual scores and all the links are still nofollow.  So I wonder what the dofollow criteria is now?
