   How Often to Post Hubs?
   
   How often would you post hubs, assuming you had a limitless supply of articles to post (you know, like you've found the fount of inspiration and have purchased some stock in it) .

   Well, it depends on you still. But ideally, from what others had told its good to publish at least 2 per week. I am student so I publish sometimes once or twice a week but if too busy once month maybe. But, if you're planning to take a break on publishing one try to be little active on the community if you are really concern with your hubber score.

      Thanks, 2 per week seems like an achievable goal for me. 
      Good advice about keeping my hubber score up during a break in publishing; I hadn't thought of that.

   Limitless supply?
   
   Dude, if they're good hubs and deserving of being featured, then the answer is...
   
   As often as possible.
   
   If you can publish two hubs a month, do it.
   If you can publish two hubs a week, do it.
   If you can publish two hubs a day, do it.
   
   If you publish a whole bunch of hubs in one day, then your hubber score will dip down a bit, but that's not a big deal, and it's only temporary.  There could be some Hub Hopper folks who woke up on the wrong side of the bed and will flag hubs when they see one hubber publishing hub after hub after hub in a short time frame.  But if the hubs are all within the HP guidelines, then they'll get featured.
   
   So do you have a bunch of material you're planning on moving to HP?

      2 hubs a day sounds unsustainable. I would be happy with one hub every 2 days: one day for the draft and one day to polish it. Arthur Hailey routinely spend a year on research, 6 months reviewing his notes, and another 18 months writing his novel.

      Thanks, I've been publishing at a rate of one hub a day, but I wasn't sure if that was too quick.

      @Walter  I agree; quality will probably breakdown at some point.  But we were just talking hypothetically and focusing on potential penalties, if any.

   If it's the ideal situation you've described above, having found the fount of inspiration and written well-researched, in-depth, evergreen hubs in a niche topic, then I would recommending posting every day, at least once! If it is the situation most of us find ourselves in, I would recommend trying to post 8 hubs per month.

      Thanks, 2 hubs a week is my goal that I hold myself to, but so far I've been keeping up to one hub a day.  I wasn't sure if my current rate was too fast or if my goal rate was too slow. 
      Thank you for helping me clear that up.

   It depend upon the idea and the mood. If you have good idea and good mode, a goof hub is in the offing .If one of the the two is missing then wait and rethink to go on the air.

   For the first year, I focused on writing hubs. The second, more about the Hubpages community. Now, write when inspiration comes and just answer questions.
