I recently submitted a sales hub for review and it was mentioned that my url would benefit more if it was something else. Wondering- should I delete this Hub and make a new with a different url or will that hurt me somehow...?
Alas, you can not modify the url. You will have to delete and resubmit.
edit: In this case, I do not think a delete/redo will hurt you in any way.
Hey Paula,
If HubPages told you that it would be more beneficial to create a better URL for the hub. Then I would suggest you do so.
The URL is taken into consideration with regards to ranking in search engines, kinda like the "Title" should be keyword rich.
Don't delete the hub, since it is already written. Just make a new Hub, which will automatically create a new URL. Try to focus your URL to be keyword rich as well, with regards to what you're selling.
Since I do not know what you are selling, I cannot be more help.
Edit: Take what is written in from your other hub and insert it into the new hub. Then delete the old hub, because you do not want duplicate hubs.
I did that, thank you as always for your help.
Cagsil, does this also result in having your scores cut down by a few points,
I just had something like that happen to me.. looking for clarification here..

Of course I can rename the hub and add the new URL to Google, and I know that the old URL will disappear over time, but in the meantime, will I then be penalised by Google, for missing URL or duplicate content? Can I just remove the old URL before...

Yesterday, I created a hub on a specific topic and I only wrote in the title and put it in it's category. I got tired and saved it as it was. I planned to start back on it today. Today I changed the title (and topic) of my hub to a completely new subject and re-categorized it. The URL is now the...

One or two of my hubs have fallen victim to the "does not meet quality standards" empty bubble.In one case, I imagine it is because the hub falls under the "purely personal" category, better suited to a blog. That's fine. I can move it. (It's an older hub...
