How does a featured hub get onto a search engine?
I am recently overjoyed that some of my better blogs have become featured. But do I need to do anything else?
I say this because a clip / pop up read "...there is a chance your blog will make it onto a search engine."
What does it mean by "A chance"? -Is there a chance it won't? How is this?
As far as I know you just have to wait and see really... I don't seem to have any problem so far getting hubs featured, but not sure they are showing up on google.
I think you can help a little if you post links to your hubs on other sites (e.g. twitter - but without spamming)
hubpages determines whether or not to put your hub as featured based on a variety of factors. Once they determine that your hub would be good to have high in the search engines, then they optimize it for you without any effort on your end.
I think it depends on how much competition there is on your hub's topic/chosen keyword phrase.Your hub will surely make it on first page with less competition if given a featured status. On the other hand, your chances are slim if your hub focuses on high-competition keywords especially if you don't implement effective SEO strategies.

All five are featured hubs, however, three of the five do not appear in any search engines I have tried (I tried Google and Bing). This is unusual as I have not had any other featured hub...

I've been on here for a few years, and I guess I never really understood the point of these scores. They don't seem to provide any real value to the user and I can't convince myself that they add value because they fluctuate so much.What's the point? Am I supposed to use these scores to tell me...

I heard many times about promoting your hub, and making it SEO friendly or SEO optimized. How to do that exactly? And what to do?

Today I had a hub unfeatured due to a lack of traffic. In the last 30 days it has 72 views, and since January 15, 2015 it has had 473 views. When I contacted the team about this they indicated that only views from "search" count as traffic, but those from social media do...
