Hello,
I had published 3 hubs which helped boost my hubscore to 74. I unpublished all three for a short while to make some changes, but then my hubscore plummeted to the 40's. I have since republished all three, but my score remains in the 40's...will my score eventually go back up or not?
That's happened to me when I took a couple days off using my computer. I recommend encouraging people to read those hubs and reading some other peoples hubs as well. Getting involved in HubPages community usually works in bringing your score back up. Good luck!
You have to remember to put a quarter in the slot over there on the left of your monitor every so often.
Haha!
It will climb back up....no worries.
Yes, it will go back up just give it time. But don't unpublish just to change your hubs. Simply click the edit button either next to the hub title on your accounts page or at the top of the hub itself.
It is a waiting game... and all of the best stuff comes gradually. Welcome to HP. Give it some time to simmer. Looks like your have some interesting stuff to say.
I had not noticed your 100. Great to see you there and congrats!!!
don't worry, your hubscore will climb up again. As "To start Again" had mentioned, don't unpublish your hubs. Just do some editing and press "done editing" Your hub will be publish again. Just give 1 week to see the difference. Good luck!
0It happened to me also though the drop was not so drastic. But it came up automatically over a period and even improved further. So patience is the only answer to such a situation.
0I was also going to say to avoid unpublishing your hubs to edit them. The longer they are online with the same URL they gain momentum and move up in google rankings. But no worries. Your hub score will rise once again.
There is now a magic starting number of five hubs. I suspect that deleting your hubs took you under it and it will stay down until you have 5 featured hubs..

Has anyone noticed a marked change in their hub scores? I only noticed today so not sure if it happened today or in the recent past.. But some of my hubs have seen a marked increase from 70's and 80's into the 90's and even a 100...Is anyone else seeing a real change?

A month ago I announced some updates to HubScore: raw traffic is deemphasized, reader satisfaction is emphasized, and overall, the scores are a more accurate reflection of the quality of Hubs than they used to be. Today, I'd like to talk about the subsequent update to Hubber Score — the score...

My hubscore is usually from 96 at its lowest to 100 at its best but today it has dropped down to 89 and then to 88 while I have been on the site! This is worrying, especially considering that I posted a new hub last night and thought my score would go up not down!

My hub that seems most popular with over 52,000 reads is at the bottom of my hubs with a 69 and it has been 70's so I sharpened it up some just to have it fall. How can this be? I hate to delete it but I think that is what many would do who cannot get a hub to rise in score. Actually I had over 100...

I feel good when my score is going up. I feel important and get noticed by others.
