In Hub metric all my hubs are showing only one incoming back-link. Also none of my hubs that previously had PR have them now. Why did this happen?
All of your hubs were subjected to a 301 redirect, which means all link juice will be permanently forwarded to their new address. However, your hubs and profile will be de-indexed and then re-indexed by Google as a result, meaning you will temporarily be in nowhere land.
It's normal, they'll be back. PR may not though, because it depends on how pagerank is distributed throughout the site, and that has fundamentally change. Anyway, PR is a relatively moot calculation and does not accurately reflect worth or traffic. Fret not.
They say it takes about 2 days to see your traffic increase.
I don't think I lost any traffic when I made the change originally, but either way it is well worth it.
I made the switch 7/15. My traffic cut in half on the 16th, then ANOTHER half on the 17th, but on the 18th was right back to normal.
Panda scans swing by every 3-4 weeks, I'm guessing that''s how long it could potentially take to understand where you stand. Up until then it's likely that hubs will go through ups and downs as they climbs and fall periodically in the rankings.
2-3 days is what it takes to be reindexed by Google, but it can take far longer for your hubs to stabilize in the rankings.
My 2 euro cents

I finished 30 hubs in 2 weeks. I could do more hubs in 30 days. Since I'm new to hubpages, I couldn't see anything nice on my adsense account besides less than 50 cents in my account.So what is it I suppose to get after finishing this challenge?

Article for discussion. I know that this recent development has already been mentioned by some hubbers in forums. But I am now wondering if this might be the main reason why we are seeing the current traffic plunges for many hubbers? See link...

After 6 months on the site i've started the really wonder how many backlinks is a reasonable number to any hub, and really to a hub becoming successful? Or is it simply a lottery.What kind of figures do other hubbers consider?

I am working on one of my new websites - and I want to link back to my hubs here. How many times is this OK to do on a website page before it is overkill?

I've been updating and removing hubs. I haven't settled on a plan for good hubs that don't get traffic. Curious what others do. My top 40 hubs are 85% of traffic. I culled the heard and have been focused on my best hubs.Once I'm through them I'll come up with a plan for the rest.

I am just a little curious about how much time people normally spend posting backlinks to their hubs before they actually write another one. Any advice or input will be very helpful.Also, how many hubs do you normally write a month - Just curious Thank You!
