My definition of a "great hub" is a hub that reveals difficult to find information in an entertaining style and with pictures or videos to support its statements.
I think a great hub is one that has lots of great information that is interesting to read. It'll keep you reading until the end. I also like it if there are plenty of pictures to go along with it for illustration, or even videos. And I like hubs that have polls I can vote on.
For me it's a hub that is well written with interesting facts on the subject, good grammar and not too long paragraphs.
It has good formatting, great images, impeccable grammar (or close), is interesting, has lots of links to external information on the topic, and it's obvious that the author took time and effort to create it.
My definition of a great hub is, "It is any hub that teaches, or shares something of value with readers." "Something of value" may vary, depending on the needs or values of individual readers. Therefore, the definition of a great hub will vary from reader to reader. Thank you. Regards, Dr. Haddox
Above all, it has to be interesting and entertaining. It's not the spelling or the grammer; it's the way it reads. Is it from the heart? Is it paced well? Is it something I would like to know more about? Is it funny?
Those are some of the things that make a good Hub for me.

Yet it started at 46 - the lowest I've ever gotten to start a hub. What the heck did I do wrong? I put in lots of...

What makes a great Hub and how do you get people interested in your hub?

I think it is becoming more of custom/tradition now on hubpages, that when you read a hub and you like it, people always state in the comment that they've voted up, is it considered as a favor or what?

Hi, I am new here and I don't have any ideas for writing a hub. Is anyone who can give me tips and suggestions?

I'm really confused by this - I wrote a hub yesterday that I was very pleased with: it's entertaining, funny and on a good topic (environmentally friendly products including usual types like purses). It's been read by a number of people - although not as many have commented. However, when I...
