Should seasonal hubs be unpublished when the seasonal ends?
If I have a featured hub that is what I would call seasonal ( this one happens to be Superbowl focused), should I unpublish after the Superbowl is over and republish it next season? The reason I ask is, I see that it looks like hubs can get automatically unpublished for lack for traffic. It is a fairly safe bet that traffic will fall off significantly next week after the big game is over. I also have no clue what a hubs "score" means, but ti somehow has to do with that number they print across the picture of the author.
I don't think they should. I love reading seasonal stories all year long. Especially if they are on crafts or party planning. For example, I don't have time to think about Christmas crafts only during the Christmas season. I start working on Christmas crafts in the summer time.
nope, i leave all my halloween, st patricks day and christmas hubs on even though the festival are over. Just leave it, you may see some traffic
Seasonal topics can also be evergreen, meaning it can pull in some traffic all year, and then come next season it can begin generating more traffic again without having to post it again.
The loner it's posted, the more maturity it gains with search engines, chance of other people linking back, and so on. When a hub or article is removed and re-posted, it loses all that.

After 6 months on the site i've started the really wonder how many backlinks is a reasonable number to any hub, and really to a hub becoming successful? Or is it simply a lottery.What kind of figures do other hubbers consider?

I have a few hubs that I wrote about 10 years ago when I first started writing on hubpages that are not very good. They are pretty thin on content and get little or no traffic now. Some of them have even been unpublished due to lack of traffic or for quality. I am not disputing that they are not...

If we want to "remove" some hubs that are under achieving to test whether our other hubs increase in traffic, as a result, can we simply unpublish them or must they be deleted entirely?

Read here that when one hubber did this, traffic improved. I thought the formerly called 'sleeping' hubs, now those not 'featured', would be pulled off Google, anyways. So I'm curious that when someone unpublished their 'sleeping' hubs that this improved traffic. Has anyone else found that doing...

Do you think it is better to unpublish seasonal Hubs? They won't get traffic during the year, so I'm wondering if it would be better to unpublish those until the next season. I am thinking about Christmas Hubs I have written.

I really do need some help to remedy this.All that was done was to change the Kindle price of my book from $3.99 to $4.99. One digit and my page is DOWN.For that, the hub page - which has over 400,000 page views so far and sometimes gets several hundred visits a day - is now off line for probably...
