This may seem like a silly question but how does one increase their Hub Rating. I am always near 16
When I look at ratings, I see people around 88, 90 and above....but, yet, I am between 16 and 20 most of the time..How does one increase their Hub rating and is it important?
Write some hubs and post them. You must have took most of your previous published hubs down as it is only showing one hub on your profile page and it says you have forty some.
Marc, I took a quick look at one of your hubs and have to say it falls far short of what HubPages wants to see in a stellar hub. In fact, from that hub it seems you haven't really studied at all what it takes to be a successful writer here. For example, that hub has less than 400 words, which is very short. HubPages would ideally like to see twice or three times that many. And that's only one of a number of issues with that hub.
My suggestion is that you start by working your way through the Learning Center to find out what it takes to write successful hubs. You can find it at http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/contents
Next, you should read the hubs of writers who are successful here and see how their hubs are structured. I think those two steps will greatly help you in getting a feel for how to raise your hubber rating, and more importantly, produce articles people will want to read.
I think you have the skills to be a good writer here on HubPages, and I hope you can put in the time and work it takes to make that happen.
Thanks for the advice. By the way a friend of mine has done extensive research on Box Brown and turned his life into a movie......

Can anyone please take a look at my hubs and give me some insight. Highest score was 78 now they are falling. I have 6 hubs none higher than 73 and most in low 60s.

I have been experimenting with Google to find new techniques to drive more search traffic and I found one that is quite silly but has doubled my traffic within about a week of updating my hub.Here it is: THE RATING CAPSULEIt's really quite silly, but I added a rating capsule to the bottom of my...

If updating a hub that is featured, say your best hub, a Hub-of-the-Day hub, a contest winner, or such, puts it into a no-index state until it's reviewed again, why would one want to ever update it?I have such a hub that has an almost constant broken link symbol. Every time I've checked the link in...

Often, we'll be reading Hubs to find a specific answer or solution to something in our lives. And often, we'll get to the end and be "too busy" to rate it. This is understandable; I do it too. Even though I know that by giving a Hub a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down, I will be...

Hi Hubbers, I have an important policy announcement regarding product capsules and moderation. Beginning tomorrow (1/28/2015), all newly published and edited Hubs will be subject to an increased words per product limit. Instead of 50 words for every product, a Hub will be required to have 100 words...

I have been a member of Hubpages for 6 weeks now, and only made 32 cents through adsense - I have 18 hubs, with pretty good keywords. Does anyone have any suggestions to increase my adsense earnings? I am pretty new to this.
