      I believe that perhaps the number of hubs plays a part in it.  Hubkarma may also be a factor.  I don't know.  Links within your hubs.  All those factors that give your account "substance" on the internet plays heavily on your score.  I just don't know to what proportion of each factor. 
      
      Perhaps the hub subjects are important.  At first I wrote a lot of religious and phylosophical hubs.  Not understanding how traffic works on the internet I have learned that for visibility one must produce work that has some amount of demand.  Anyhow, that has helped me.

      I don't have any secrets, because nobody at HP will let me in on them, nor will Shades, plus I don't pay him.
      
      All I can say is that I write meaningful, useful stuff that I can back up with research or personal experience. I take advantage of all the HP tools (capsules, categories, even suggest links) to present the info in my Hubs in the most readable way. I put myself in the reader's shoes and answer their questions about my topic before they have to ask them!
      
      Be an authority on your subject and write in an authoritative manner, meaning don't let your reader abandon you because he has to fight his way through poor logic, bad grammar, or misspellings.
      
      Most of all, enjoy what you do, take pride in it, and learn every day from the talented writers here.

      Ignore the score to your left.
      I would say that if you publish every couple of days and post something with around 1500 words and use the multi-media approach then you are on your way.
      Mind you, once you hit a certain number you might want to be careful about being too controversial.
      My advice is write what turns you on first and don't worry about a score that is meaningless outside of HP.

      Mine was 92 when I woke up.  It is 95 now.  I have written nothing today but my views were up and I left some comments on others pages and responded to a few on my own. 
      The other day I deleted one of my underperfoming hubs.  I had it here for 2 months and it consistantly scored under 60.  My advice is to right what you know and when you see others are interested in your topic write more about it.  Also use google keywords they help.

   No. I don't pay any attention to my HubScores or my Hubber Score.  I know they have no effect on my income so what's the point?
   
   However I do notice that being active in the forums makes a difference to my score. That's pretty much the only thing I do on HP other than write Hubs.  I hardly follow anybody and I rarely comment on other people's Hubs.

    I find the Hubber score to be rather ambiguous,(or unfathomable) while I have had scores in the upper 90’s if I should be away from the site for a span of 4 to 5 days the score drops for no other reason than inattentiveness, in that the number of page views per day stays level  and the article scores maintain their status.
    
    I have never been able to figure out the real parameters of the makeup of the hub author score. If anyone has a clue let me know, but in my limited experience it appears attentiveness is a cumulative portion of whatever algorithm is applied.
