Why are my deleted hubs finally getting read?
I have to laugh, two hubs I wrote were never featured and one was unfeatured due to low views. I decided to delete them because they were not my best work and weren't topics I wanted to go back and edit. All three suddenly have the up arrow and have a spike up in views! I didn't know you could even see deleted hubs. What gives?
wow! I will definitely try deleting my low traffic hubs. may be it's because hubpages owns the content.
Lol! I'm baffled. My 3 articles should be completely gone by the end of the day. Was shocked to see the crossed out articles suddenly having increased traffic. Maybe that's the answer for the other hubs, delete them, traffic grows, then undelete lol.
Probably hubpages staff reading them? I have found this to be the case as well.
Must be, I don't think anyone else can see it. Why do they bother to read deleted ones? If they read and like them, do they try to change your mind about deleting them?

I joined HubPages about 1 year ago and I have only written 13 hubs. Out of these 13 only 2 hubs are getting good traffic. That's why I deleted 11 hubs and left these 2 hubs on here. I'm not sure if I should go on with writing here. I think I would still keep my account because I like the HubPages...

Some people say you should never, ever delete a hub...only edit it and such. What makes you just completely trash your own hubs?

This hubber has 10 million views and just 15 hubs. He or she doesn't even bother explainining who /he she/ is on profile page. Writes about stuff like iphones. Are we all missing a trick. Do you think this person could be making serious dosh?

Some of us have mentioned deleting low-performing articles from your Hubs. I sense they do it because it increases views/impressions. How does that increase views/impressions?

I joined HP nine years ago and was quite active for a while but then other things got in the way.. The thing is, money kept dribbling in. Not much, but enough and often enough that it finally caused me to come back. I’ve recently posted several new articles and am enjoying writing again.I’m also...

I just logged into my account and noticed that I have close to 30 hubs that are unfeatured due to engagement? Why did this happen all of a sudden? Is there anything I can do to make them featured again?
