How does ones hub start out at much more than the score of 50 ? What influences this?
I've managed to get a few Hubs up into the lower 80s before they have been published. What influences this is the same things as which effects a published Hub.
A high-quality topic, good written content, diversity of content (images, video, links, etc), good tags. The ranking algorithm looks at both published and unpublished Hubs. I always let unpublished Hubs stay that way for a few days after I finished making them specifically to see how they are doing and what can be improved. I'll then edit them to make them as strong as I can before I hit that publish button. They might spend a week being spruced up before they are shown to an audience.
I agree with relache, a hub must be about high-quality topic, contains good written content with no misspellings and do not contains poor grammar. It must be informative and attracts a lot of readers with videos, links, and good tags. I used the same approach relache uses when writing hubs. I will take up to a week to write a good hub and leave it unpublished while I am writing it. My hub scores will usually start in the low to mid sixties before I publish them and will go up very quickly in a few hours after publishing them. It does take some work, research and patience to reach those high scores.
i struggle w/ hubbing; i'm highly unfamiliar w/ it, so i currently avoid it. someday i may retry, but not now
I also think the amount of outgoing links within the Hub also effect initial hub scrore.

This really isn't a problem, but rather something I am interested in finding out. I have a few unpublished hubs with little to no content in them, and the thing is, one of these hubs outranks one of my published hubs! I am wondering why that happens and if it is any indication of how good the hub...

I'm working on my latest hub, but ran out of time and energy last night before finishing it to any decent quality. So I saved it unpublished.It has a 49 right now. But if nobody can read it, thus rate it, where does such a number come from?Thanks again.-stan

I am presently putting together an article that is not published, obviously. But, I already have a Hub Score showing for it. Any ideas how this can be? Doesn't seem fair does it?I mean how can you score an incomplete article that has not been published yet and a low score to boot? Lower than any...

I'm just wondering.... My Hub score for an unpublished article dropped about 5 points in the last hour since I started editing it (it had sat for about a week prior to that). Not that it really matters. Just curious....Steph

I have a hub that is nearly 3 years old, has a high Hub rank, and generates a fair bit of revenue for HP and myself. It is all original content and has several links to other websites. Each of the links points to only one domain with the exception of two - these two are self-promotion...
