Has anyone noticed a drop in their profile score after they unpublished a hub?
My profile score dropped several points after I unpublished a couple of hubs that weren't generating sufficient traffic, and were tagged with those dreadful half-moons. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.
Hi Genna. Yes, mine dropped also after I unpublished a few hubs due to lack of traffic. Actually, both my hub and hubber scores have been steadily dropping since the niche sites implementation began. It is very discouraging.
One of my hubs went crazy with views, over 45K in seven days - yet even with that my profile score has dropped.
Hi Phyllis. I'm very sorry to hear that. It doesn't seem fair, although I still don't understand how the niche sites implementation impacts all of us quite yet. It's very discouraging. Thanks so much for your answer.
I never look at, nor care about "scores" any more. Having stayed on 100% for about 3 years, I took a sabbatical from contributing and both my overall rating and comments rating dropped drastically. How unfair to drop your comments rating! After all, you are the same person you were before you took a break.
But it's the old carrot and stick routine, although in HP's case, it's nearly all stick!
Howareya??

Hi Bob. I agree about the carrot and the stick routine. I think HP has changed their scoring metrics. Thanks for the answer; hope you are well! :-)
Let me experiment with this and revert to you with the finding.

Thank you! And I appreciate your answer. :-)

My hubscore is usually from 96 at its lowest to 100 at its best but today it has dropped down to 89 and then to 88 while I have been on the site! This is worrying, especially considering that I posted a new hub last night and thought my score would go up not down!

Just had a big drop on my profile score. And all my hubs were featured along with a steady 10 Editors Choice. I say 'were' because 3 were just unfeatured and I don't know what to do about that. My views are over 945,000. Boo-hoo. Hubpages doesn't love me anymore!

In the past 12 hours my profile score dropped from 94 to 84. Does anyone know why?I published 2 new hubs in this time but can't find anything wrong with them. My traffic is up, and my hubscores haven't changed much.

My Hub earnings were cut in half this month. Has anyone else noticed a reduction in earnings?

Has anyone noticed a marked change in their hub scores? I only noticed today so not sure if it happened today or in the recent past.. But some of my hubs have seen a marked increase from 70's and 80's into the 90's and even a 100...Is anyone else seeing a real change?

My Hubber score has stayed in one place for over a week. I have been on here a long time and I have never seen this. It usually moves up and down from day to day or from hour to hour. It's not moving at all.
