Was 49 a week or so ago.

that graph is pretty, but what does it mean? HP has less "organic" traffic? or something worse...
I think it means traffic has dropped... and stayed dropped.
The drop in rank from 49 to 60 implies that HP has dropped while other sites have gained.
As for disaster - if I were thinking of floating HP and walking away with a fortune - that prospective fortune may have shrunk somewhat.
That prospective fortune doesn't exist, Mark. Of course, you can have it, but only if you spend a fortune yourself.
I'm guessing at Facebook valuation - Russians said 70 billion or something this week - that HP must be worth something.
tbh all I'm saying is.. traffic still looks like its down.. nudge, nudge.
HP's devaluation by google is nothing in comparison to squidoo slap.
But Squidoo seems to have stayed fairly level through the algo change.

Which has nothing to do with me starting to write over there of course...
He was referring to the Squidoo slap a year or two ago
Ah thanks Ryan. A year ago. Right. I wasn't really planning to go into historical figures on this hub. Did something once happen to Compuserve as well?
I really think the Squidoo slap happened before and that's why people haven't seen such a big drop there.
I've written a lens since the big slapdown and it seems just as difficult to rank over there, but the truth is it can be done there just as it can be done here.
The key is quality content, constant updating, and a little sugar

So I've been a Hubpage and Squidoo writer for the past 5 years. Recently, my 185 Squidoo hubs were transferred over to Hubpages and to start earning money, I applied for the Google adsense program about 2 weeks ago. It appears that my account was approved for a couple days and then I...

Why do Hubpage accounts with high scores have very low Google page rank?I have been checking page rank for certain Hubpages users who have high HP scores i.e. over 90. Google seems to give many of them a very low page rank. Page rank is an indicative metric of web authority according to Google....

Yup. I was just over there on the old stomping grounds and there was a blue box. I've taken a screen shot and saved it for a momento. Sorry to see the old wagering about when the next blue box will drop come to an end.

Has your daily earnings dropped significantly since changing your Hub profile page?Ever since I changed from the old profile to the new, my earnings have dropped below the silly stage. It may be something to do with the new Zzzzs as well, any ideas?

For a good number of weeks my hubber score has hovered around the 100 mark. Two days ago it started falling, and as I write this, it is down to 89! If this keeps up, it will be 0 in a week! No rhyme or reason to it, but it leaves me wondering why this is happening. I know...
