When I search out on HubPages for a specific keyword I find most of the keywords to be held by someone who started over 5 years ago and has not written one single hub.
I wonder if this keyword search is hurting us as a team here on HubPages and if those Hubbers "names" should be opened up for use by Hubbers who will actually write on that subject and contribute to this group under that subject.
I don't wish to highlight anyone, in particular, just open it up for an objective discussion.
You might tailor your searches for hubs only.
I see what you're saying, and I think it's a good question. Is the site somehow yielding search results that are now 'duds,' and are the results visible in searches made off the site, by potential visitors?
Please list any feature you would like to suggest in detail.
The more information included, the better.
Not sure what exactly you are getting at do you mean Hubbers are using keywords as their nom de plume? Or are you saying that they have Hubs using the keywords you want, but that are not featured?
In either case I would just go ahead and write on the topic because a featured well written Hub will out perform any un-featured one. This would be especially so for original helpful content.

Will my hubscore be affected if I unfollow inactive hubbers?

If I may be so bold as to make a request of HubPages, I would like you to please re-examine at this time your decision to ban Jerrico Usher from the Hub Forums.He has proven himself to be quite mindful of the mistake he made before and seems to me to be waaay to smart to make the same mistake...

I have been in touch with the team concerning a hub of mine that was unfeatured due to the fact that I had only HP traffic and no Google traffic and felt this was not fair because my article had been online for years and had more than 1400 total views.This morning I received the following email...

Happy Friday, Hubbers!Next week we will be raising the quality threshold for newly-published Hubs (meaning newly-Featured Hubs will, on the whole, be of higher quality) and will also be giving Featured Hubs (for those with high Hubber Scores) longer grace periods- up to a year for some.More...
