OK I have concluded my test.
I created a hub 2 days ago, I did not click the hub once after publish, this hub started of 40 then the next day it was at 79,
Now yesterday I created another hub, and after publishing the hubscore was at 49, after publishing I must have clicked this hub 20-30 times myself, now the hubscore is at 31. so clicking on your own hub does drop the score dramatically.
Please go try for yourself.
My hub "The Fiasco of the Fourth" dropped 10 points overnight. WOW!
I agree. Traffic seems to be slow over the past few days and I have noticed hub score ranging from 96 to 94 depending on the time of day. Can't really understand it and have just decided to let it go.
If there's nothing you can do, and it really doesn't affect you. You just have to let it slide. Good advice.
I can discern no rational process behind my the scores on either my individual hubs or the hub score on my profile. I barely even worry about them anymore. I'm more interested in my ad revenue.
I agree with you, but I haven't seen any revenue at all as yet.
I believe there was a forum thread a few days ago on the same subject where others were noticing the same thing with their newer Hubs. I have found the initial hubscore on a new hub will start out low and then climb over the next few days. I also believe the hubscore can change if someone decides to rate your hub negatively, but don't hold me to that.... I do have one hub that I wrote when I came to hubpages and the hubscore fluctuates from 90 to 83.

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?

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 ?

Yesterday hubscore was 77. I published one new hub with score 58 and no outgoing links and I did not place any monotizing adwords or amazon or ebay on it. Now today hubscore is 73?

Which is more important to you personally: writing quality Hubs or publishing 30 Hubs in 30 days?

I just saw a hub(not mine) that has score 43 in 15 minutes of publishing. Normally it's 50 when getting published...Right?Is there a known reason for hubscore to come suddenly down?

If I wont publish new hubs maybe 2 to 3 days what would happen?I am really enjoying HP community and writing new hubs. But couple of days and in the future I may not work on my other planned hubs due to my studies. so I am really worried on what impact would it gave on me. Firstly I think on...
