Non Performing Hubs
When I try to edit my non-performing hub, or change its tags, the hub comes alive for a short while and gets hits, just to die out again. Does anyone know why does that happen?
One of the reasons could be the hub is dated or has stale information. The best course is to remove the hub and edit it and publish it on some other site. The results will be beyond expectation
That happened to me, too. I added a capsule to a bunch of hubs. I thought they had been placed on the HP home page, and was worried that I had filled it up for my followers. However, I was reassured that I hadn't. So your update probably wasn't seen within HP?
So the only other thing I could think of was that Google saw the updated status of my pages and ranked them a little higher for a bit. I never did find a definitive answer for it. But I hope that helps a little.
Do your stats tell you what the traffic sources are?
A fresh post or a fresh change goes into the feed on the main page of HubPages. So for a short time you get traffic from that.

I have published more than 30 hubs. Of those almost 5 hubs have just 5 to 10 page views a month. More over the hub score is also low. Is deleting those hubs a right decision?

Could non-performing hubs that are not getting views (and have never got many) be affecting how well my other hubs perform? Should I delete them and unpublish them? My traffic is not in a good position right now at all and I am trying to figure out what needs to be done. Last year around this time...

Just wanted to know, have you ever deleted any of your non-performing hubs?

Does anyone have any tales, that you of hubs that you are willing to share, where the number of views surprised you?

The new rule-check out the non performing hubs. How do you look at it?I am here only since 4 months. But people here have published over 100 hubs. Do'nt you think it will be quite difficult task for them?

I have read somewhere here that google search engines take into account the page-views to compute ranking. Is it advisable to delete non-performing Hubs, those with 0 pageviews a day, as a way to increase traffic in an attempt to increase ranking?How do you deal with low-performing hubs?thanks in...
