How do hubs get into the list to be hopped?
Who chooses the hubs that are hopped? or what is the criteria for hubs that are hopped?
They're just the new ones that have just been published, theres nothing special about them. That's why even if your hubs have no views in the first few days they will usually have a higher rating than 50 because people hopping will vote them up
John pointed this matter out very good. I will have to add here from the point of the programmer that they are probably random. A script chooses randomly through the new hubs that have just been published.
I consider this a good way to see what has been written new on Hubpages, and also have a chance for your new hubs to get seen.
Cheers,
Daniel.
You can see the time of publishing underneath the title when you are hopping hubs. They have all been published very recently - that is the only thing that sets them apart from the other hubs.
I thought it was the new ones too...but after hopping one day and hopping the next I seen some of the same hubs. This was what made me curious as to how they get chosen. I always thought it may have been the ones that have been recently published in the last 24 hours.

Pardon me if I use the wrong terminology, but why is my profile's score so low compared to my hubs scores? Granted, my hubs are not super high (average is about 70) but my profile is only at 32. I'm wondering if this has something to do with a hub that I drafted and then updated without...

It's been at least three days since I've submitted my hubs, but they still haven't been published. Also, I haven't broken the rules at all, so why do I even have this restriction on my account?

I created a hub on one topic, and then changed my mind. However the original url relating to a different topic shows up instead of the title of the new one. Is there a way to change this?thanks

There has been a lot of angst relating to the QAP system but no real analysis. So let's try and do something productive. When anyone gets a chance, review the 'latest' list and list any common problems that you see with hubs that have been published. Are there too many with major grammar errors? Is...
