I know it's good to go in and edit or update Hubs occasionally to keep them fresh and maybe help to bump them in search, but what edits or updates would you guys suggest? I have one Hub, but I'm not sure what exactly I should do to it to freshen it up a bit. I could keep adding to it, but I personally don't like extremely long Hubs/articles, and I'm not even sure what I would add to it. It's still getting traffic, so should I just leave it alone for now? How often do you make updates and what do you do? TIA
I personally would not make edits just for the sake of making an edit, unless I had a really good reason.
Also, making an edit does not mean you have to make it longer. You could make sure it is current, and check it for grammar, spelling and clarity. You could also make sure that you include words in it that help Google identify what the article is about. You could change out an image to something that is more modern or attractive.
I would recommend that you spend your time writing more hubs instead of continually editing this one. Give the one you have time to gain traction and traffic.
I would recommend that you change the summary to stop saying No no! so many times and to include the word hair removal tool so people can tell what it is from the beginning.
It gets quite a bit of traffic from people searching specifically for the No No. They already know it's a hair removal tool. I'm not sure I'm going to write more Hubs. I would like to keep getting search traffic on this one, though. I think I will just let it sit for awhile. If I notice search traffic dropping off considerably, I'll do something to it and ping. Thanks.

I hope Robin will come by and comment on this one. I have been going through all of my old comments and deleting any that don't add anything to the conversation, but some of my hubs have a ton of very useful and informative comments. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.What makes...

Do you edit a hub while it is live or do you unpublish it first? Do the edits go live before an Editor has viewed it? I have thus far edited them live but feel it puts me under pressure if I have to complete it in on sitting. What does the effect of unpublishing it have on the...

Hypothetical question about editing a friend's writing.Let's say a friend of yours is self publishing their book and they are one more step away from a final product. You know they are going to publish it, and yet they ask you to read it in the hopes of finding some last minute quick fixes. As you...

Do you more experienced Hubbers believe writing about controversial topics like politics hurts or help your page traffic? For example, if you disagree with someone's political Hub, will you not visit their other Hubs?

I would like a better explanation of the Hub Score. I have a Hub that I uploaded on May 12th, it's ranked #2 on Google search results for its main keyword phrase, it's getting 175 visits per day sent by Google, but the Hub Score is only 78. Is that because someone at MTurk didn't like...

Question about featured hubsSo I've been working on my evergreen hubs and shooting for the featured hubs status but I also notice the traffic goes up & down. Once it's a featured hub will it ever lose that status?
