How do hubbers,
who have fewer hubs and have been here for a shorter while than those who have more hubs and are here longer, manage to have a much higher hubscore?
Those who are new may write more high quality hubs as a veteran would slack at some point writing low quality content. The overall scores of these hubs add up, along with other factors
The learning center here on Hubpages explains everything about hubscores here: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/hubs … ber-score. Since our hubscore is based of quality, traffic and activity, I would say there are a few reasons a new person might have a higher hubscore.
A new hubber could be more active in the forum, Q&A and in leaving other Hubbers feedback in the comments. Lets say the veteran hubber has equal quality to the newbie. A vet might not feel the need to be as active as a new person. So even if your hub gets more traffic, the new person might have the hubscore because of their activity.
I am new with a good hub score, and I try to stay VERY active. The first month I was mega active and I started to slack. Then my hubscore dropped. As soon as I got active in the forums, questions, comments, rating hubs and hub hopping my score went up.
Traffic also plays a factor. Sometimes a new person gets the Google honeymoon, where they are higher in the SERPs, and then drop down until they mature. Because they are higher, they might get more traffic than an old hub.. if the old hub got hit by Google Penguin or Panda, then the traffic difference might be surprising.

My title should have read another hub author score question . I have noticed this hubber that puts up a lot of hubs, however, they are all very short, most less than 100-200 words. The type of hub that can be put up in less than 15 mintues. And, the majority of their individual hub scores...

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...

During my time on HP I have head/seen/read a lot of speculation about the scoring system. I have given up trying to figure out my profile score but my articles are different. As I understand it the more views, vote up and feedback, the higher the hub will score. I figured if you have a hub that has...

My hub scores range from 65 to 87 as of the last time I looked. My average is 73. To me it seems like I have a "C" average. I'm disappointed and discouraged. I am doing everything that is recommend to get a good score.It is disheartening not to get a feedback. For...

Hi there, I'd been on Hubpages for 6 months now but probably been active for only 2 or 3 weeks. At the moment, I have 7 hubs and only 1 have breached the 80 mark (75-85). Most are in the 70s. 1-2 will drop down to 60s every now and then. So my question is, how do you make a hub go above 80 in...

Hello,I've been working hard over the past six months per hubpages and have what I think are a number of nice, interesting hubs. They are getting read quite a bit but few other hubbers choose to follow me. I sometimes will run a query of a topic I'm interested in (like the singer Neil...
