Just wondering... if for instance an old hub was deleted and then republished in a completely new hub but with the same URL, how would that effect google rankings?
Hi,
I have no idea. I'm looking forward to reading replies to this question of yours. I wonder.
I'm not sure why you would bother if you're going to use the same URL. Why not just unpublish it?
I'm not sure the URL would become available immediately so you could re-use it - maybe someone else can advise. Plus there's always the chance that someone else might steal it in the meantime.
I guess it depends on whether the hub is still in the index or not. If you did it almost instantaneously then I can't see that it would affect anything - because it is still the same domain.
However if you left it for over a week and it got dropped from the index then it would have to be reindexed again.
I do have a friend that found some deleted hub addresses that someone had that had links already pointing at them and so she grabbed them for herself - to her benefit.
t
Can you share how she discovered them and how she knew they had links pointing to them?
Aficionada,
She discovered them by accident by reading some ezinearticles by a specific author and clicking through the links in the resource box only to get a hubpages screen saying something like 'this hubpage is no longer available, click here to claim it for yourself'.
The eza author must have got his/her hub account closed for some reason *shrug* oh well their loss.
There's actually someone bottom fishing for links to deleted hubs. Now I've heard everything.

I just posted a bit ago a request for help on a hub that has been flagged over promotional. I just realized nobody can see the hub in question since the hubpages staff said to unpublish. How do you get someone with experience to look it over and help with it if they can't see it? It has been...

Hello,I try not to make waves with "How Hubpages Operates" and I am not sure if this singular problem is having a huge effect or not.But, I've noticed that many hubs I had connected to other hubs via "embedded" links(anchored text) have not been coming up or being flagged as...

Uhhh...

Some people say you should never, ever delete a hub...only edit it and such. What makes you just completely trash your own hubs?

Hi folks,I was just wondering -- you know when you pull up your stats on each hub and you see the "incoming links" part? I know it says it takes up to a month for new links to be recognized, but I'm curious: how long did you all have to wait before you saw links come in?Peace,Donna

I've only recently discovered this "linking" thing (within hubpages, anyway, like a week or so ago - been a hubber for over a year). Hey - read my stuff on NVLD to get the scoop as to how that could happen.Anyway, I've been doing some serious linking lately, and right now I'm...
