Hi! I've been with HubPages for few months and I love writing here! It's really a great experience. I just want to ask why my hub score suddenly go down? When my first few weeks give me 80+ score. Kindly post the best tips here. Thanks!
Just because of traffic falling. It means your article visits per day decreasing in comparison of a day before.
HubPages penalizes scores for duplicate content. I only looked at one of your Hubs, and that's clearly the issue with that particular one.

Give people thumbs up and join the fan club and they might do the same in return
Make your side clear by double checking that you don't have any duplicate content in Hubpages. Otherwise it's all about the change in page impressions and readership. Build more trust and thus readership.
I thought it was just all at the whim of the Hub Gods.
When they are happy I nearly hit 90 (a far off paradise place I am sure), but when displeased I plummet ever downwards.
I find the best thing to do is try not to notice too much!
Just forget about your score and pay attention to your hub writting, if you build it, they will come (and your score too)!
That's my humble advice.
I would suggest to just write, write, write. The more they see your name, the more you will be remembered. Write quality hubs. So research, research, research, because what you don't know from personal experience, you can research on the internet, this makes you an expert on the subject. Also if duplication is one of your issues, try to state where the information came from. That way you're less likely to get penalized. I hope this is helpful.
Of course, when I'm stating where the content came from, I do not copy half of someone else's work. I'm talking about referencing another author's content, for the sake of adding authority to my hub. Like if I am talking about a subject, and I read something that is relevant to that article in another site, or a book, I will quote either the author, or the site and I will tell the reader where the info came from.

I have read how hubscore is computed but was still surprised the other day when I saw a hubscore of 1. It just is somewhat amazing to me that some hubscores are 10 or below. Don't get me wrong----I'm really not trying to be judgemental or holier than thou or anything it's just I...

I found out this morning that this site had stolen at least 2 of my hubs. The more I looked, the more I noticed that it appears every single post on the site is a stolen hub, completely copied in most cases (including the authors' names and copyright notes, ironically). I see lots of names of...
