Can you change the title on a published Hub? And how do I do that?
The title can be changed, but the URL cannot once the Hub has been created.
There is more information in the FAQ here.
http://hubpages.com/faq/#Name-Hub
You can change the title by editing the Hub using the HubTool.
Copy whole article and paste it in a new one if you want to have your title in the link as well.
If the Hub has been in existence for a while, don't do that - you will lose any reputation and age the Hub has built up, and readers who liked it won't be able to find it again.
It is vitally important to have a good title. It is NICE to have a good URL but it is not critical. Once upon a time it was but not now.
Thank you. It is a new hub Just not getting the response I was hoping for.
Just a note - looking at your Hubs, your URL's are far too long.
Someone may have told you to jam every possible keyword into both your titles and URL's - it's not necessary.
When you start a new Hub, a suggested URL is created as you type the title. It's only suggested, though, and you should change it, especially if you have a long title. A shorter URL is more desirable.
Have you noticed that when you share a long URL somewhere (say on a forum somewhere), the end gets cut off? A shorter URL is more likely to show in its entirety, so people can read it. If the most important words are at the end of the URL and they get cut off, that's a problem.

That makes a whole lot of sense. Thank You That is probably my issue. I'll try to correct in the future.
I find the following tool incredibly helpful for working out good headlines. It keeps them a good length and helps to balance the words. I've had some success using it for my blog and am applying it to Hubpages now. Maybe it will help you (:

Agreed I had no idea that was even the case.

After changing the title of the hub, the URL remains the same. Does it affect the existing traffic or the position on Google ? How often the title could be changed ? Is it advisable or not ?

When you change your hub-title does hubpages change the url?I have changed a couple of my hub-titles and when it changes the previous title remains in the url. Do I have to change the url myself or does it eventually change on its own? Thanks.

The title of a hub of mine was changed a few days back. But its URL remains unchanged and thus appears to be some other hub's URL. The URL must be changed to make it match the hub it is linked with. I do not know how to attain this goal. Please help me do it.

When I first started writing at HubPages I was under the impression that one should make the url and the first title of their hub the same.So my question now is: When trying to write the url for maximum traffic, how much should you really deviate on the main title? Or does it even matter if the key...
