   How to deal with Non-Performing Hubs?
   
   How to deal with the hubs that are not performing well, that are not getting a good amount of traffic? Such hubs should be deleted? If we keep those hubs, are they gonna affect the performance of other hubs which are performing well?

   If you have hubs that aren't performing well try to determine why they aren't. Does your title not fit the content. Search your title in google and see what other results you get. If you find several websites with better information then you might want to change your title. Try using the Google Keyword Tool to find things that are more search friendly.
   
   I've been editing and rewriting several of my hubs and have found a few that I wrote when I just started out that are more personal and not of much use to anybody (and got very few views). I've saved the content on my computer and deleted the hubs. I might use some of the information in a later hub but not right now.
   
   Try linking relevant hubs together. I have several poems published here and a few didn't get very many views. I linked some of my more popular poems to them and they've already started to see a rise in traffic.

      Hi Dilip, yes the total hub score is affected by all the hubs you have published. So if you have a few hubs that are low in score the total score will be diminished as well.

      Hello Curiad, if total score is affected negatively by the hubs that are low in score, will that gonna affect the hubs that are performing well?

      That I am not sure of Delip, the scoring system is confusing at best and I am not sure anyone has a complete picture of how it works.

      I don't think it affects the traffic of your other hubs unless those hubs link to them. It can affect your hubberscore though.

   Google Analytics as previously suggested is a huge help when it comes to determining "historical traffic". You can really see patterns, as well as where the traffic came from in a detailed manner across a time period you specify. The hub pages "Traffic Sources" is a snapshot compared to google analytics.

      Well Richard, analytics is to analyze the traffic but what about the hubs that lost traffic and are not recovering despite efforts. I wanna know, those hubs which are not at all getting any views, will affect other well performing hubs??
