What is the relationship between hubber score,hub score, hub metrics and hub views?
I have reached 100 hubs and I am looking back trying to figure out why I have not made 100 cents yet.I know it is quality not quantity. I decided to analyze. One hub with $$$$$ has 7 views! Another one with $$$$ has 145 views. Okay it is the topic, keywords and backlinks.What else is missing? I have read hubs by other hubbers and time out before I can comment. An experiment with hub 98,99 and 100 has yielded a $$$$$ hub metric buti I do not know if that is good or bad. I want to be hopeful.. Do I need to go another 100 hubs before I find the answers?Experience is a strict teacher.
Topic or subject matter is the biggest thing that's going to effect earnings, followed by how you write about that topic. If you have 100 Hubs but have not even earned a dollar, then you have quantity but not quality. A lot of people who don't earn well write about high-traffic but low-or-no-pay topics, or they don't have a genuine idea of what constitutes a good amount of traffic.
Hub metrics are rough indications of potential, but nothing more.
I have a whole series of Hubs that I wrote based on my experiences. By the time I had been with HubPages for nine months, I only had 35 Hubs but was making $100 per month. All I can suggest is to read over what I wrote and see if any of it helps you. Below is the Hub that starts the series.

Join the club of confusion. This is what i understand, the hubber is given a score based a set of factors like the number of hubs,his/her background,and and the hubtivity wchih reflects I guess the followers and participation in hub pages interactive fora. The score for the hub seems start generally at fifty and may be little up or down based on the subject and its pereived importance. The page views reflect the number of times a page has been opened (not read). Making money would depend I guess on the viewer actually clicking on an advertisement on your page and buying (?). That revenue is sahred between you and hub pages. I find the hubber scores and hub score goes up and down every day at different times based on the traffic that is coming in to your hubs. It is the rate that seems to matter not the absolute score. Your older hubs may have huge score but that does not seem to influence up and down movement.
My personal opinion is that the scores seems to have a fixed maximum point for a specific hubber for a period,.and therefore dont seem to go beyond that point, may be until a lot of hubs are produced.This could be wrong The number of followers and comments are also important. I don't see the hubber score reflecting the hub quality in all cases. We have to assume(since we cant see them) that these hubs have good traffic. Quantity seems to matter that is all, no matter what the subject is.

I notice we now have a new tab under stats called hub metrics - i understand published date and word count - but the symbols for incoming links - is there a rough guide to how many links are how many * and are links all or just google - thanks

I have a hub just under 1,000 words that gets approx. 100 visitors per day. The hub metrics shows View Duration and Incoming Links at 5 stars. But the revenue potential only shows at a single $. How is that calculated?

I have just realised that the view duration for several hubs of mine is not properly working. Hubs that were previously showing a duration are now reporting that not enough data has been collected. Here are some examples:...

Have you seen more than 5 stars in your Hub metrics under the Incoming Links field?
by Janet21 16 years ago
I notice that on most of my hubs my visitor duration is 5*s. (a handful of 4*s, but nothing ever less than 4*s). I am wondering if my hubs are just so interesting that my readers stay awhile or is a 5* duration rating fairly easy to achieve? I don't want to pat myself on the back...

A feature I would find handy is having all of the Hub Metrics data (word count, revenue potential, incoming links, view duration, date published (already on other stat pg) and short url) found on another stat page. It could even be called "Hub Metrics". This one page would have all...
