It seems since I published my last hub my score has dropped at least 5 points what did I do wrong?
YOU OFFENDED THE GODZ OF HUBDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm joking. You did nothing wrong. I promise that I answer this sort of question at least twice a week.
You're author score is based on factors that nobody but hubstaff knows, and they aren't telling anyone.
My best guess, and everyone else's best guess is that author score is based in site participation, and the scores of all your hubs.
So if you wanna have a 100 - don't ask me, I've never been there, but I've been to 97, for like a minute - and then someone on staff said, "WTF?" and bumped me back down where I belong.
Ask and answer questions, hop hubs, comment hubs with GOOD comments, make a trip to the forums every once in a while, vote hubs up or down, flag inappropriate hubs that look like spam, or like the author can't really write in English.
Your author score is always going to be going up and down, it's not important.
I would not give much thought to your hub score.
It's like the stock market. (goes up and down for no particular reason)
I've noticed sometimes after answering questions my score drops. Other times you stay off hub pages a few days and when you log back on your score is up.
You burst my bubble Wesman... I wanted it to mean something hmm I'd say nothing is wrong with it myself! Mines always rose and fell a little bit though even then its a tad discerning to think about! I get more blue at the fact I dont have as many fallowers, but If I did then i'd suppose that would make me popular ... Which might be a bad thing in its own
So keep up the good work and it was a pleasure coming across your question!

I am just curious, all 92 hubs of mine are featured. In your opinion, should one delete (although Featured) any hubs where the score on a particular hub has eventually dropped way down from when it was initially high at one point? Or would it be better to just unpublish and later...

My Hub Score has dropped 10 points??? What do i do???I have no idea why but my hub score seems to keep falling, I have been posting alot in the forums and made new hubs so i dont understand it??

Pretty much without exception my Hub score will drop two, three or more points within an hour or two of first posting a Hub. Then it gradually, eventually goes up again. For example, today, March 31, 2011, I posted a Hub and my score dropped like a rock three points. I don't understand this. I...

Just had a big drop on my profile score. And all my hubs were featured along with a steady 10 Editors Choice. I say 'were' because 3 were just unfeatured and I don't know what to do about that. My views are over 945,000. Boo-hoo. Hubpages doesn't love me anymore!

Just curious why my author score is dropping....My first few hubs were basically promotional and shorter and I had a score of 79. It has dropped to 67 as of today after a new hub I put up that was not promotional and has gotten more traffic than my other hubs. I have deleted a couple of hubs. Will...

It’s obvious something is going on. A few days ago I had two hubs at 100 score and 23 had a score in the 90’s. Overall score was I believe 81 it‘s now 79. My hubs drastically dropped to 3 hubs in the 90’s. Hubs that are always on top have dropped down.I know last week I heard drops in traffic were...
