I had noticed a few high hubscore members ( around 97-99 hub score ) with with less than 90 hubs on their profile page. Furthermore, they are level 1 or 2 commenters which means they do not interact much with hubbers.
Are the hubscore related to their hub contents or views?
I don't think it has anything to do with how many hubs you have. I have 54 hubs, and my score hasn't dropped below 90 since my first weeks on HP.
It's about views. Google traffic is what matters.
Many older members of HP were level 4,5 or 6 commentators until about two years ago, when inexplicably, our numbers went down. It no longer mattered how much we engaged with other hubbers. Scores do seem to go up a bit if you take part in forums. But I doubt that the old accolade has little or any meaning anymore.
I always tried to read and comment on my colleagues work. But now our time is taken up with every whim of an administration whose aims are not being made clear to us. It has little to do with engaging with other hubbers, although that will not help you make money. It used to be nice to have time to read each others work, and I liked the old hub hopper. We used to be notified when any of those we followed published something new.
Plus it is so time consuming to keep changing our older articles in petty ways that it is almost impossible to find time to write new hubs. I used to be able to write at least three good ones weekly. Even though I have 140 + featured hubs, they are held for two weeks sometimes over one word or some minute thing, making it almost impossible for me to move well written hubs to niche sites. This in turn, has discouraged me from writing new material, or at least, giving it to HP. I want to get articles which I know are good moved to niches, and at two a month, it's ridiculous. We are constantly told they are hiring new editors. I think many of them let it go to their heads.
I noticed the hubber score is very similar to the average hub score. Other factors are counted too.
I don't think it's that, as my hubber score is much higher than my average Hubscore- although imagine having decent Hubscores is part of the algorithm.
I have a good score, but have never managed to narrow down exactly why.
My hubber score is below 40 whereas my average hub score is above 60. I don't know why it is so. Due to not publishing any hubs for many months? I always keep my presence here reading and commenting Q&As or hubs.
I think it has more to do with traffic than anything else. When I first publish an article and it gets some traffic, the score goes up considerably, and then falls back. All of my articles are featured and a average score of 68. Those scores go up and down with traffic I have noticed.

My hub scores range from 65 to 87 as of the last time I looked. My average is 73. To me it seems like I have a "C" average. I'm disappointed and discouraged. I am doing everything that is recommend to get a good score.It is disheartening not to get a feedback. For...

I wish there was a way to turn it off. It goes up and down without reason, and it can be very distressing.

This is what I have observed with my hubscore. After publishing a hub and leaving comments on other hubs, I get lots of traffic but the hubscore falls by the hour. When I stay away from HubPages for a few days, and the traffic drops to nothing, the hubscore starts to climb and reaches an all-time...

My hub that seems most popular with over 52,000 reads is at the bottom of my hubs with a 69 and it has been 70's so I sharpened it up some just to have it fall. How can this be? I hate to delete it but I think that is what many would do who cannot get a hub to rise in score. Actually I had over 100...

I feel good when my score is going up. I feel important and get noticed by others.

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...
