How do I get my Karma points up?
It's been at 8 pts for weeks.
Hi there.
It actually depends on how much you refer to other hubs. It has very effect on you but you could use the suggest link in the hub to get a couple of points up.
Hope this helps.

At the top of your hub there should be a tab that reads "suggest links". You use that to easily link other hubs to yours. You can also do it manually by placing the links yourself onto your hub.
This will raise your Karma significantly.
HubKarma is a score that reflects the degree to which you link to others' Hubs and to Topic pages in your own Hubs. HubKarma has a small influence on your Hubber Score and is on a 0-100 scale.
Hubs that point to other relevant, high quality Hubs enhance readers' experience on HubPages and improve HubPages credibility as a trusted resource.
Link relevant Hubs and Topic pages in your Hubs and this will increase your HubKarma points.

You use to be able to highlight a word or two and get a drop down of related Hubs. That don't happen anymore for me. I might get one 'community' style link, but nothing like it use to be with 8 or 10 related hubs you could choose to link too. I just don't see the significance...

I was attempting to update the links on a hub and was checking the previous links to be sure I didn't duplicate them in the same article. I was using the Suggest-a-Link tool at the time. The very first link I checked I had no memory of putting there. It seemed strange because I seldom...
