How do you decide which hubbers to follow?
What are the things that make you decide to "Follow" a hubber?
If I share a related interest with the person and want to read more of their stuff, I follow'em. I tend to write mostly about music and movies so most of the folks I "follow" also write stuff in that vein.
I know some people will "follow back" anyone who follows them, but I never got into that habit.
It depends on my motivation. For instance, I'm really interested in learning more about SEO and making money as a freelancer, so I follow the hubs of hubbers who regularly write on those topics. However, there are others with whom I've developed friendships because of our common interests, and I follow them because I enjoy reading their work and interacting with them. It's an individual thing and I dare say your reasons would be different than someone else:)
Usually I come across a hubber because I found their hub while browsing the Hub section, or because they commented on one of my hubs. I check out their profile, and see what they tend to write about. If it is something I would be continually interested in hearing about, or we have common interests, I will usually follow them so I can keep up on their interests and continue to learn more. Hope this helped!
The Ones Who Do Not Follow More Than They In Return Follow.;-))OOO
You can just choose a topic which you are intersted in. This is the main reason for people to follow a hubber actually and sincerely.And you can get more interesting information when your follow hubber updates something,
Hope this answer is fit for your question.Hah~
I usually look for pieces that are relatable to me. If I see common ground in their entries, or find a inique connection to what they're posting. I follow. A lot of times, for me, I am adding those who post poetry. If i can feel the passion in their words just from one entry. I follow.
I follow those hubbers who write the hubs of my interest. Sometimes i do follow the hubber who impresses me in the forum and Q/A posts.
I will decide to follow a hubber if:
- the hubber hubs about things that I'm interested in, or am passionate about, or would like to know more about.
- the hubber is new and shows promise.
- the feedback on his hubs and profile indicates that his hubs are generally of high quality.
It also doesn't hurt if the hubber has:
- commented in one of my hubs.
- became one of my followers.
- left an encouraging or complimentary remark.
I follow someone with this categories:
I follow someone who is successful, with useful ideas and intelligent answers so I can learn.

What is the best tip to offer a new hubber?
by Paul Maplesden 10 years ago
One of the advantages of having an overall hubber score of 75 or above is that we get 'Dofollow' links on our hubs, which are considered more valuable by Google when deciding search results.My question is, if my hubber score temporarily falls below 75, do we lose those dofollow links? (In other...

What are your reasons for unfollowing a hubber?I went to the list of hubbers I follow, and I found out that many are not active on hubpages. I unfollowed everyone who has not published anything in the last 4 months. I also unfollowed the hubbers who do not comment on my hubs.

I just joined Hub pages, and overall I love it. Being payed for it is just a plus to me. But I realize the more people you know and are following the more traffic you get. Is this true?

In my years on this site I have seen so many people randomly follow me in hopes that I follow them back. And then as soon as I do, if the topics they write on interest me, they delete me from the hubbers they're following?Do you guys really think this makes people want to read and comment on...
