How To You Keep Your Hub Scores High

1. 47

   badcompany99posted 16 years ago

   Just noticed that the Hub score decreases after a period of time, I know learning all the time. Also noticed your overall Hubscore goes up and down, so what does one do to make them get higher or just remain constant ?

      The hub rank fluctuates depending on the number of hubs you have and their traffic, the number of comments you post on other hubs, participation in the forums, making hub requests in the Q&A section, and just participating in the site overall. So keep participating in the forums, and you can potentially increase your hub score, but I don't think there's a real method to keep the score constant.

         That pretty much sums it up! My HubScore was holding steady around 90-94 and I hadn't published in quite some time. Now, in the past week I've published a few Hubs and participated in the community some more and my HubScore (at the time of writing this response) is a 97 - so it does go to show it is not just one factor, but many. I think the only way you could keep it constant is if you manage to stay at 100!
         
         
         Actually, Marisa, I do think it can reflect (not effect) your earning ability somewhat. In the sense that a higher HubScore usually translates to more traffic, which also translates to more money!
         
         
         Actually, now that you mention it, that's probably very true. I'd be interested in knowing where the HubPages home page stands in respects to pageviews (compared to other popular pages).

            The home page probably gets a lot of pageviews because every time a Hubber logs on, that's where they start.  But that's not relevant, because Hubbers aren't (usually) paying traffic.
            
            Most of your paying traffic comes from search engines, and that traffic goes straight to your Hub.

   LOL waynet!
   
   My hubscore hit a high of 94 yesterday. I'd been here five days.
   
   I write a lot. My intention in writing as I do isn't to increase hubscore (though it's nice) or revenue (VERY nice!) but to get things out of my system. I'm a writer. Writers have to write.
   
   It has, quite fortunately for me, caused me to have income for the past two days. Given that this is my seventh day here, I'm pretty happy with that record!

   You can't get a HubScore to remain constant.  The system isn't designed for them to ever be static.  Each Hub is going to wind up fluctuating over a range.
   
   And here's my thoughts on How To Improve Your HubScore.

   Mine is like a yo-yo, up and down anywhere between 75-90! I think my problem at the minute is that I don't have many Hubs, just 3-4, so that may be one reason why it fluctuates a lot! Even if I had 10+ I'm sure that would help keep it slightly more stable.

      yep same for me ,in fact I scored high ( well I thought so) hahaha...91 for my first hub ,then bombed on my next so bit like everyday miracles said...I just love writing ,eventually once I get all the fluff of my chest maybe I will develop a writing style..everyone has one or simply and I probably prefer this method...it meant something to at least one or two people.
      
      Being honest though money would be welcome , but as I made 15c I can see changes are ahead ...or my next hub will be on surviving Poverty

             Hubpages does penalize overly-promotional hubs, so be careful. I've mentioned one of my sites a few times and have gotten at least one e-mail about it, but that really wasn't my intention.
             
             Hubpages *is* a great way to share your writings though, and I, for one, am doing pretty well with it according to Analytics and my url trackers

    Just keep writing hubs!!!  Original content scores better and likely draws more views. Most of us seem to be here for the same reason which is to write and get our thoughts and feelings out there, so without even trying, your hub score should go up. As long as you keep up the hubs, that is. I don't know how commenting and forum participation helps, but it probably does. 90% of my hubtivity has been writing hubs and my score has risen continuously. I haven't had a ton of comments or anything, just kept publishing.

    Well my author score has fluctuated between 85 and 92, but one of my hubs "The other side of subprime loans" which came 2nd Hubnuggets competition has a hubscore hovering between 90 and 99. This particular hub initially did not attract much traffic but after a week or so, the hub score reached 99. I have been here since 3 weeks and have so far published just 3 hubs and 1 of them was voted among the 5 best hubs from the newcomers. So I can safely conclude that the quality of hubs that matter and not the quantity.
