I have several Hubs pertaining to Chrismas. Should I unpublish them until next Christmas? Tell me what you think, OK?
No... leave them be. They will age and get you lots of traffic next year...beginning about July One of my Christmas hubs got over 30 views yesterday.
It depends on how much traffic they are generating. I have one Valentine's Day hub that gets steady traffic all year for some reason.
No. If you unpublish a seasonal hub, you lose the "aging" that gets you a higher ranking on Google. Also, seasonal hubs CAN and WILL get traffic any time of the year. My own Christmas hub got tons of traffic from Feb through November. Go figure.
Keep it active; amend it during the year as appropriate and then get ready for an increase in traffic as the holiday season starts!
I'm leaving mine. If their crafts some people start with craft stuff early.
Thanks for this question and for the answers. I often worry about seasonal or topical articles but have learned to leave them alone because they can get views year 'round.
Same question and answer

I have a few hubs that I wrote about 10 years ago when I first started writing on hubpages that are not very good. They are pretty thin on content and get little or no traffic now. Some of them have even been unpublished due to lack of traffic or for quality. I am not disputing that they are not...

Hi everyone! I have a question...If you have an unpublished hub about, let's say Christmas, is it better to keep the hub and publish it towards Christmas or can you publish it whenever? Does the timing of when you publish a hub matter? Something to do with fresh content?

I have a series of 3 hubs on a topic. I originally labeled them as parts I,II and III.However, I have since learned that such a device is not to the liking of either HP or Google.I started to edit them, one at a time, and found some awkwardness (I must have written while I was tired), and...
