I seem to have two different hubscores; a red number by my hub title, and a "score" in my profile box to the right on my hubpage. Why are they so different?
I may be wrong about this, but this is my theory:
One is a "real time" showing of your score, and the other represents your daily average.
I tend to think of it as a fluctuating average. It constantly changes and is more of a way to view trends. Givit time and you will get used to it.
ROFLMAO
One to the right of your hub title is the score of this particular hub. One in your profile box is your score
My score (not the score of the hubs) is fluctuating. It was increasing till today and now it has slipped by two points. Any reason?
The score next to your Hub title is that hub's score (the hubscore). The hub in your picture is your hubrank (personal author score)
There are a number of reason as to why the score fluctuates. Hub traffic, number of hubs, forum participation, and overall website participation (reading and commenting on other's hubs, answering requests, making requests, etc.),
I still don't get it. there seems to be a huge difference between the red number and the number in the profile box which says 'hubscore.' If the number in the profile box is not the hubscore, why do they call it that. If the numbers in my profile boxes have been 87, why are the red numbers around 50? Sheesh. New at this so....
Each hub gets a different hub score. The one in your profile box is for your overall hubscore.

It seems that now I have been more active on the site, HubPages has lowered my scores on some hubs, but also increased my score on others. Anyone know why that is? Thank you, everyone! :-)

Yes, I have checked the FAQ but I don't see an answer to this one:I check my account quite often, out of curiosity really, and have noticed some scores for individual hubs moving up or down for no apparent reason. There have been no new page views, I have not edited the hub, there have been no...

I have strived over the last 5 weeks to produce as many hubs as i can but to a high quality. I heard at first that if go around serial 'following' this can penalise your hubscoreI added a few people but then cut down when i heard this. I only follow about 12 people.i just noticed someone who has 25...

I have read how hubscore is computed but was still surprised the other day when I saw a hubscore of 1. It just is somewhat amazing to me that some hubscores are 10 or below. Don't get me wrong----I'm really not trying to be judgemental or holier than thou or anything it's just I...

I have big question mark about fluctuating hub scores. I am in hubpages since last one and half year and yet can not understand its working method. For instance, I had hub score 90 yesterday night that has fallen to 88 today morning (In 12 hours). In between, my traffic has risen by eleven percent...
