Hub scores fluctuate a lot throughout time. I wouldn't worry about it. Behind the scenes lots of different human and automated processes are going on which will see your score climb and fall.
Just keep submitting quality content and it will rise in the end!
Using good key words in your titles will also help keep them up.
It will go down gradually, however there are many things that factor into your hub score. If you are active on forums for instance that will help keep your profile score up (only as 1 of many examples.)
Here is how HP staff have it worded in their FAQ for individual hubs:
HubScore takes into account many factors and will change over time as data about its performance continues to stream in. It will also fluctuate quite a bit, seemingly at random, and that is nothing to worry about. The most important HubScore components that you should be concerned with include:
*
Amount of traffic - including percentage from reputable sources other than HubPages
*
The reputation of the Hubber - your Hubber Score and contribution to the community
*
The response of readers to your hub - including comments, thumbs up, etc.
*
The uniqueness of content - copying content already available on the web will be penalized
We reserve the right to change the factors used to assess a Hub’s HubScore as we continue to determine those that measure a great Hub. The bottom line is if you write original, useful content, your HubScores will reflect the quality and work you've put into them.
I hope this helps
It depends on alot of factors. It could be the traffic or people voting it down. Just write something quality and it will be fine. Once a while it will drop maybe 1 or 2 points but nothing to worry if you have good traffic into the hubs
Hub score is determined by the content, traffic and the feedback you get from a hub. But the major fluctuation is caused by the traffic I see.

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...

Is it me or have the Hub scores been fluctuating more drastically the last week or so?
by Dan Harmon 13 years ago
Looking at my stats just now a new hub has popped into top spot in hub score. One of my very early ones.In 15 months it has collected 368 views, or less that one per day. I don't think it has ever had a click. It has 13 comments on it, of which 6 are replies from me. But it...

I wrote my first hub a week ago and i wasn't sure if it would do well. I checked back two days ago and saw the hubscore increased and my overall one did as well. However, today i noticed that my overall hubscore increased, but the hub i wrote went down a few points. Could someone help me understand...

My Hub "People Almost Met: Lily at the Pool" recently had a hub score of 100 and stayed at the level for about two weeks. Now it is in the 60's. It has lots of comments and about average views (for my hubs). Anyone know what I can do about this?

I have had a few hubs moved to various niche sites with hub scores ranging from 69 to 87. I feel I have much better hubs remaining on the original site than some of those selected to move, especially my latest which was a very basic poem (though it did meet the guidelines.) Is there any correlation...
