My score seems to drop when I publish articles quickly. What is my best strategy for recovery.
I am relatively new to Hubpages, and there is still so much I don't understand. My perception is that when I publish articles in quick succession my score drops. I have dropped from 96 to 83 in a few weeks. The dropping score seemed to start when I edited several of my hubs by adding commercials and published several new ones in a short period of time. My current theory is that I need to spend more time increasing my fan base to help my score recover.
Is this a false correlation for why my score is dropping? Any ideas on what I should do?
Everything involving your hubber score is speculation. I can leave HP for months and come back to a high score even though I have done nothing. Yet when I get back my score drops the second I become active in the HP community. Also there is no direct link between a high hubber score and more income. I still make the same income no matter if my score is 80 or 95. So instead of stressing yourself over the hubber score simply focus on making quality articles that meet HP standards. As long as you are doing that, eventually you will make money and develop a strong reader base.
Thank you so much for the information, but if you have some insight, I would like to ask one more question. If I continue to write articles that meet HP standards, will my score ever drop so low that my advertising privileges are taken away?
No. You have nothing to worry about as long as you aren't spamming the site or writing poor work. I looked at your articles, and they look great. Just keep it up and you will be fine!

I used to think that the overall hub score went up when you added new hubs but lately I have had the reverse of this happening and am wondering why and if this happens to other people? It seems to drop just after a new hub is posted but goes back up after about a day.

I have recently begun to completely revamp my hubs. I am publishing several revamped hubs per day. Can this have a negative effect on my HP profile score, Google rankings etc.??

My Hub "People Almost Met: Lily at the Pool" recently had a hub score of 100 and stayed at the level for about two weeks. Now it is in the 60's. It has lots of comments and about average views (for my hubs). Anyone know what I can do about this?

It seems like the URL only appears twice once when you write your article and again when you publish. How can you find it any other time am I missing something?

For months I published no hubs and my hubber score sat around 96, in the last month I published three hubs, all of which are featured and each time I published one my hubber score dropped by two points, it's now down to 90. Is this how HP rewards us for our hard work? Correct me if I'm wrong but...
