Why is it my new hub's scores dive before they start to climb.
they start at around 50 and dive to around 44 and start to climb. Does the number of times I edit it after I publish bring the score down? or is it simply the first few who read my stuff hate it.
Don't worry about the Hub score, just write hubs.. mine do it all the time.
Thanks Single shot, I will indeed continue.
Initially new hub vies for finding a favor with search engines and once it becomes the favor of search engines, people comment on it and it also depends on your active participation in Hot questions and Forums so that your fans and followers view the hubs lifting the score slow and steady. Average profile score will not be affected.
This is something I had experienced too, and I changed few of the pictures that I had used and it climbed up soon. In some cases even without intervention it would drop by 2 to 3 points and then climb up.
Could be a glitch or the fact that we are watching the score too closely too soon. :-) So, let's keep writing and let's keep enjoying.
By the way, I enjoyed reading your hub on finding Spock's brain.
Regards,
Savio.
Savio Dawson: Thanks for taking the time to read my Hub. In Search of: Spock's Brain is one of my favorites. I am glad you liked it. I am honored. I recognize that It common for scores to drop. Never the less it drives me crazy.

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 looked at my hub scores today and cried. They have been falling steadily for two weeks from 70's & 80's to 60's and 70's with one 59. Today, one of my hubs has fallen to a 50. HP is sending me mixed signals. I am told to write in a niche that I am passionate about with...

Every time I publish a hub, my hubber score goes down a point or sometimes two, and I would have thought the HP would want me to publish more hubs. But, I guess that is not the case. Maybe that is why so many hubbers are jumping ship.

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!

It continues to baffle me how the Hubs I've written with the least amount of effort and attention to detail end up being the highest scoring Hubs out of all my content. Every time I write a Hub my score upon featured status is immediately around 65 and my scores never dip below that, rarely do they...

I simply don't get it! I have purposefully stayed away from searching on HubPages because it frustrates me. I now remember why. Why is the HP search page not bringing up the best of the best? I thought we were here to promote Hubbers above a certain score and to promote quality.MY EXPERIENCE WITH...
