Why does an unpublished article go from 50 to 68 and anything in between?
I have an article that I've had unpublished for a while for which I haven't finished planning. I notice its score fluctuates wildly despite me never clicking on it or changing it. It's got very few words in it as the plan is on paper on my desk. Thoughts?
When you publish a new article, it receive a initial score between 40-60 generally depend on you topic, content, media in the hub. Then it start fluctuating because of many factors like ratings f, feedback, traffic etc
Hub Score will never be steady, it will continue to fluctuate till it's on hubpages.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Ah, that explains the published articles. I did wonder - but I was really wondering about an empty, unpublished one!
Yes, you didn't published but it is auto-saved, you can see in your statistics page. Even if you have saved just title, it will show the score and it will fluctuate.
But why will it fluctuate if it's unpublished?

I am presently putting together an article that is not published, obviously. But, I already have a Hub Score showing for it. Any ideas how this can be? Doesn't seem fair does it?I mean how can you score an incomplete article that has not been published yet and a low score to boot? Lower than any...

Why does an unpublished hub have a hubscore?Does anyone know why my unpublished hub that I am still working on has a score already? I am new to HubPages and still trying to figure it out.

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?

I'm just wondering.... My Hub score for an unpublished article dropped about 5 points in the last hour since I started editing it (it had sat for about a week prior to that). Not that it really matters. Just curious....Steph

I'm trying to publish my article but I can't find the publish button once I select the edit button as instructed. I can only see two options: Preview and save unpublished. Please help!
