How are articles scored?
I am confused. I know each article starts with a 50. All of mine have gone up except my most recent has gone down to 44, yet it has 2 comments, 4 Facebook likes, 1 vote as useful and 25 views since published last night. What in the world would be making it go down?
Nobody knows exactly how the HubScore is computed. HubPages officially says this about it: http://hubpages.com/faq/#hubscorecalc

I received an email that a new Hub is "eligible" for a niche site. But it suggests I need to proofread it before it can move over. I edited the article for readability and ran it through a spelling and grammar checker before I published it. After receiving the email, I reread it and ran...

I got like 10 posts stuck in the mid 70's that I want to get to 80 so I can submit them to networks. What are some surefire ways to increase your score without changing everything? I use the same format on two hubs with similar subjects and one gets 93 and the other gets 77...so frustrating.

I've heard to disregard that but I'm still a little curious. Honestly I don't know how the score is even decided but those of you that have a lot of followers or have been able to make money, what is your average score per article?Thank you!

I am so excited about completing my 30 day Hub Challenge. I have been writing on so many topics but I think my hubs will be written mostly on blogging and writing. I feel that I am good at that and I am also writing on other sites to get backlinks to my hubs. Yesterday I had wrote one article on...
