My best performing hub, which was on a very competitive keyword, just vanished from the Google. I first noticed it gaining traffic when it was on the second page of Google for its keywords. It kept on climbing and was on 5th position for some time now and from there it is nowhere to be seen. I checked even the second page of Google results for the keyword and its not there. This hub brought me more traffic than all my other hubs combined.
Anyone else also experiencing such situation?
Google does that pretty regularly from what I've read here in the forums. No one knows exactly why it happens, but it happens.
Could also be from the bing/yahoo thingy and new stuff that google been rolling out no idea how to answer your question other than a guess
I had that happen to me too UH, it sucks. I was getting traffic like it was going out of fashion for one particular hub for weeks, then suddenly hardly anything. I don't know why.
Ain't that the truth, let us prey.....

I'll let you know if it works
Thank you all for replying... No one can tell exactly why Google does this... All we can do is make a guess... So that is the reason why my question wasn't why Google is doing this, instead I wanted to know if this happens with you guys also?
Ultimate Hubber happened to me with one particualr hub it was on 5th position on the first page. It went missing the last week i checked, Google has reindexed it and now I am on 2nd position of the first page. I guess it goes into hiding for some unknown reason, following this thread to know if any one knows the reason as to why it happens?
I have things appear and disappear (at Google will) from time to time.
They usually return looking a little bewildered. And usually higher or lower than they were originally. I think Google may have a few hormones mixed into the algorithm
Thanx for replying FD. I hope its on the higher side like Charanjeet Kaur's was.
All I gotta ask is...UH where have you been? i've seen over the past few days but it's been a long time dude!
Hey crazd!
Thought better take a break from HP.
Im sure it will come back, why not try building a few more backlinks, and tweeking your tags and keywords..... you never know, it might come back even stronger than before!

In the back of my mind I'm always looking for ways we can improve the HubPages product to help people be more efficient at increasing their traffic. Lots of things in the product start with manual expirments that turn into features of some sort.Right now I'm experimenting with updating old...

Here's my problem, it's stagnant!I find that when a hub takes off the better performing ones fall back. My traffic has had the same average views for months even though a few of my hubs have finally gone wild.It's not like my entire account is suffering. Whenever there is a Penguin strike,...

In a forum I read recently someone commented that Google looks down on your subdomain if it contains many poor articles. But how do I tell which is considered poor?Can I tell by hubscore? Some of my hubs are in the 60s, but have thousands of page views and others with fewer views are scored much...

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...

Some people say you should never, ever delete a hub...only edit it and such. What makes you just completely trash your own hubs?
