Thanks for the continual idling of my hubs!
I just wanted to thank HP for continually idling my hubs as by doing this, they free up "MY" unique material to be posted elsewhere. I unpublish, copy, go to Google Webmaster and have the URL and cache deleted from Google search, post the article elsewhere, then pop back in here and delete it.
What amazes me is that out of the 30 hubs that I have done this with, they are getting better views elsewhere.
I regret that I shall no longer post new material here. I will just wait and keep moving as they become idled. There will always be a couple here as they do well and no need to move them.
Believe it or not, my hubs are quality hubs in the eyes of readers from here and elsewhere. Excellent comments, proper use of the English language, no spam...... have been tweaked and tweaked.
HP policy is that they require unique posts. Something that is not duplicated on the web. That is a prize, to get quality posts that are exclusive to HP. However, it appears that HP has double standards with this idling of such hubs. It is their loss of unique material and someone else's gain.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed with the changes I have seen here in the past 12 months. I do believe that HP will never recover from their slump.
I will still be checking in, reading those I follow and the forums, and to pick up new idled hubs, lol.
Well, enough said....Thanks again HP!

Still losing hubs at a rapid rate due to idling
I keep on getting hubs idled despite tweaking them, changing titles and adding better keywords. I have got used to moving them to other sites such as Wizzley, Xobba and InfoBarrel but it seems to be an ongoing problem. If I keep on moving my idled hubs eventually I will hardly have any left!

Hub with 9 Views in a Day (and 35 in a Month) Suddenly Not Featured!!!
How is it that a hub on the 'common mistakes new hubbers make' can suddenly become not featured, in spite of the fact it has had 9 views in a day, 24 views in 7 days and 35 views in the last 30 days? I only replied to comments on it both 42 hours ago and 22 hours ago (from two different hubbers)....
