Do you ever follow new Hubbers who have few hubs or followers?
Today I came across a really great Hub after checking out a Hubber who left a couple intelligent comments on my Hubs. He only had one hub and no followers, but I was impressed with everything I saw and decided to follow him.
Do you ever follow new Hubbers with almost no track record?
I do sometimes. It depends on how new they are, and if they have at least one hub or not. The hub doesn't always need to be good for me, though it helps if it is. I look at it like this: Part of the reason I became so prolific on hubpages, was because it is such a welcoming community. Even when I only had a few hubs, there were people interested in finding out what else I knew or had to say. That's a big boost of encouragement, especially for anyone whose already taken the time to read and comment on a hub of yours
It simply depends on whether I like their hubs or not. I have done this and would do it again, there are lots of interesting topics and some people will draw your interest more than others.
Even if I don't follow them, I vote and leave an encouraging comment.
Yes, if they are active and their hubs seem interesting. Some 0 hub folks I am leery of because it seems there are signups for the sole sake of scraping and spamming though.
Yes, DrP, I like to encourage new writers and have made some good friends along the way!
Most of the time I'll check their profile if they're following me and leaving comments. If they don't yet have any hubs, I generally wait until they publish a few before I follow them. If I'm interested in the topics about which they write or they get me interested because they include a lot of info that gets me hooked, I'll follow them.

In my years on this site I have seen so many people randomly follow me in hopes that I follow them back. And then as soon as I do, if the topics they write on interest me, they delete me from the hubbers they're following?Do you guys really think this makes people want to read and comment on...

Hello,I've been working hard over the past six months per hubpages and have what I think are a number of nice, interesting hubs. They are getting read quite a bit but few other hubbers choose to follow me. I sometimes will run a query of a topic I'm interested in (like the singer Neil...

I’ve been reading many questions on the forums about how to get more traffic to your hubs. I’m a great believer in testing something, analysing the results, refining and sharing, and I approached the subject of how to get hub views in a practical methodical way. I’ll share my techniques below and...

How is it that they are several people who don't have a lot of hubs and yet have tons of followers? I mean one person I came across only has one hub and yet they have 1,233 followers! Another one only has 3 hubs and has about 623 followers..I'm just confused.. I thought the more hubs you have, the...

I was experiencing problems connecting with Hubpages both last night and this morning. Hubpages was "down for maintenance" was the notice I saw. However, this happening at the same time I was trying to publish a new hub - so the sharing of my hub did not happen. So when...
