The Hubpages author score is something that worries a lot of people, some people think that having a low score means, less money in fact it doesnt, but it has some effects, having a low score of 75 or less next to your picture does not mean you are a bad writter, or your hubs are worthless, it simply means you need to fix a couple of things on your hubs and follow some strategies to raise that score.

The 100 author score is one of the most desire things in hubpages, I sure would not mind having the 100 next to my picture, but you might be thinking is it really that important? well, it is, and here is why having a high score means popularity in hubpages, means more traffic to your hubs and as a result more chances of increasing your income with hubpages.

This is my 50th hub and I been part of hubpages so far for about 3 months and since the first week I join my score has been in the 90s non-stop so far the highest was 96 but I been documenting and learning the factors that can change your score drastically to keep control of it and I can say I learned some things that are pretty useful towards that 100 score, I will discuss the importance of that high score and how to archieve and maintain a high score.

As I been part of hubpages for some months now I noticed that most of the traffic comes from hubpages itself, then comes the search engines, so it was clear that I need it to improve my popularity in the hubpages community, so having a score of over 85 will increase your popularity and the traffic in your hubs, the author score is calculated around 2 factors

1. traffic
2. activity

the amount of traffic you can get to your hubs will increase your score but the activity or the time you spend on hubpages commenting, rating and any other activities will help your score as well, now you want to know how to raise that score I will share the results of my research on this hub and although is based on my personal experience I hope it helps other hubbers increase their score as well.

REMINDER: Remember this results are from my personal experience but they did work and I been able to maintain a score above 85 for quite some time now and I expect to get to 100 soon, hoping that this information can help other hubbers out there.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO A HIGH AUTHOR SCORE BY LESTER

1. How many hubs do I need to have a score above 85?

The amount of hubs you have does not matter but 10% of the total amount of hubs you have should have an individual hub score of over 80, for example if you have 50 hubs like me at least 10 hubs should have an individual score of over 80 that means those hubs are getting a decent amount of traffic daily and that will help your author score.
