I notice my Hubkarma score has not moved in approximately 3 weeks, is this normal? If not, what would prevent it from moving up, and what can help it to go up further?
in your hub you can see suggest link option. use this
You can help it go up by linking to other hubs and giving away your traffic.
Alternatively, just don't worry about HubKarma.
What do you mean giving away my traffic?
If you link to something you are encouraging a person to go there.
When I send a person somewhere, it is to benefit me.
I see a lot of people using the Suggestion Tool and not much thought into where the link is going. I have linked to other peoples hubs, but it's because I've read that hub and am impressed with the quality and it will benefit my readers.
I always wondered how the HubKarma score worked too......now I get it.....thanks!
Darkside got it addressed well, especially when using the suggest link option to interlink to other hubs you've read and considered good for your readers.
I try to stay clear from getting worried about the hubkarma score, but I'm beginning to observe that if the score is up or high, it could also mean your less interlinking with other hubs. How? You may tend to ask.
Not 100% sure on how the algorithm works but on three different occasions when I recently interlinked to a few other helpful hubs via suggest link, my hubkarma score dropped respectively.

What is the use of improving hubkarma?Others can't see our hubkarma like the hubscore. So I'm wondering what is the use of improving our hubkarma.

My hub karma score is going high. I don't know if this means I am over linked to other hubs. But some how the traffic is down.No idea if this is because of linking. Does it make sense to believe that those to whom we link will link back to our hubs?
