I started writing a hub a few days ago and just having one sentnce and a picture it was at 50. I have been working on it for a few days and watching the hub score go up and down. Now I worked on it just a bit ago and have not published it yet and when I first went to it it was a hubscore of 68 and when I finished doing all the spell checks and before I publish it it dropped to a 64. What the heck?
From one Lady to another.....
When people view your page they can rate it. If they click on the arrow going up, your number will go up - if they click on the arrow going down, the number will go down. Thats why even when you've published a Hub, the number fluctuates.
Worry not....
I have heard that if you let a hub sit unpublished for a few days before you publish, the score will keep going up. Seems to be true on mine. After that, I dunno...anyone's guess
Thanks everyone. I am going to publish it at 8 tonight, my time.
Can I ask how many views it had before you published it?
It said 15. I don't know how because it wasn't published then. It is now, but I have seen the status yet.
I just looked at the status and it says 3 since I published it about an hour ago and 18 for the last 7 days.
It's my understanding that HP can and does view them while they are under construction. I have noticed as many as 10 over a period of a few days, but the last one I published was about the challenge. I worked on it for less than 18 hours, and got 22 views. I thought that was alot compared to how many times my others were viewed, so I was just curious.
I thought that you were just curious. It doesn't bother me that you asked.

Is there any benefit of allowing a hub to stay unpublished for a few days?Even if it is ready to be published? Just because we wish to have a higher hub score when it is published!

I recently got my lowest score ever for a book review on Kate Chopin's novel, The Awakening.Anyone want to give me some feedback? Usually my scores start around 50 and go up as I construct the hub.The entire review is my original writing. I didn't copy any text.

After 6 months on the site i've started the really wonder how many backlinks is a reasonable number to any hub, and really to a hub becoming successful? Or is it simply a lottery.What kind of figures do other hubbers consider?
