One of my hubs got chosen for Editor's Choice!

   I was just looking at my stats not too long and I noticed that this was this little banner that said Editor's choice! Put my mouse over it and it said it was selected by editors and it will be promoted by Hubpages! Wow! I wasn't expecting this at all! I don't know who to thank, but thanks so much for choosing my Pre-Civil War hub!

   Congrats.  Nice they are doing something different. The only hubs for featuring that seem to be picked are how-to's, history or location information these days.  That counts me out.

    Doesn't that mean that your Hub is going to be moved off of your subdomain and onto the main HubPages domain?  Is that what you wanted? Isn't that how many Google indexing problems developed and continue?

       Not sure they were indexing "problems".  Nearly all of mine that google "removed" from the subdomain did much better.  None did worse.

    It's very confusing to search engines to change the actual URL of a webpage.

       Then perhaps Google will be happy to see it back to what it liked in the first place.  No one ever understood just why google did that and they wouldn't tell.
       
       Paul did run some tests on his own hubs, though, and it didn't seem to make much difference when he went back and forth.

    The post says that a Hub will be temporarily moved to the main domain, and then go back to the subdomain.  What do you think Google will think of that revolving URL theory?  I opted out.
    
    "The Editor’s Choice status is not necessarily permanent.  At any given time, only a small percentage of Hubs will be designated Editor’s Choice."
    
    Paul's Hub that he published two weeks ago shows a 404 for a Google cache.  This is a crawling problem.

    Not to be a party pooper but did you lose all your facebook likes on the hub etc?  There's been reporting that that has happened.

          Well that's a relief.  I get a few so it isn't a big deal for me either.  Just a bit scary that someone could lose thousands of social media shares because they got awarded.  You can opt-out but you have to have known about this new policy!
