Do you have to participate in Hub questions & forums to boost your Hub score?
I'm assuming the answer is yes. If so, why?
I don't think so, but that's just off the top of my head. I haven't looked it up. I just know that I rarely answer these questions and even more rarely write them. I've maybe posted two forum questions and have not spent time in the forums discussing things with others there, and my score seems mostly to fluctuate according to whether or not I am commenting on hubs.
Yes, it is very good to mingle and get your name out there and recognizable. This will not only get you readers, but maybe followers as well. Anything you can do to draw attention to your writing is a good thing for you on HP.
Yes, participating in the HubPages community such as commenting on hubs, answering questions, posting in the forums, publishing hubs, etc can help to increase your hubber score.
For more information, check out the HubPages learning center guide about hubber scores and hub scores. Here's the link: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/hubs … bber-score .
thank you! the link was very helpful, makes a lot more sense to me now! I guess I better start being social if I want to improve my score
Yes, i participate in HP answer, hub hopping and forums but not for the sake of hubscore. Actually, I did them for the sake of earning money at HP. Did work out well but double my daily income until the last 2 weeks my earning was pulled down to the lowest. Heard that it is due to Google. Anyway, my hubscore remain 89-94 which I am pleased of.

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!

Do you find if you don't write a hub for a week your score goes down?I haven't written a hub for a week, but have tweeked several hubs and continued commenting and my score dropped several points.

PROBLEM: Whenever I write a hub on a controversial subject, a number of people create new, fake hub accounts solely for the purpose of posting negative comments and feedback on my hubs and/or threatening me anonymously. These new hubbers have 0 (zero) hubs and no other activity, and they are never...

Should Hubpages make it a rule that to participate in the Q+A/Forums one has to have at least 1 hub?I've been reading a few of the questions here, and many many comments by a handful of people - several of whom seem to think that Hubpages Q+A is their personal conversion ground. Then I went to look...

I've been here almost 3 yrs and would like an honest evaluation of some of my hubs. I'm concerned about my low hubscore. I continually study hubs at the learning center, participate in forums, comment on hubs, re-title and revise hubs, and have reached over 300,000 page views. I...
