OK, I have played the game, watched the Panda scores, watched my scores plummet, I am really trying here but this latest fiasco is making me MAD!
Yes, I am shouting!
I unpublished a number of hubs in an effort to revamp and raise my score. One of my hubs that I don't believe I ever unpublished just showed up as not available!
I went in to link - the hub came up and then I had an error code of 404 or something that I couldn't link because it was unpublished. It wasn't unpublished.
Can you please check your hubs and try linking using the internal link feature and see if you have some of the same problem.
I was able to link by pulling the link manually but I am MAD that it shows on the internal link that that hub is not published. The score of that particular hub is 85, right now my hub score is 87 - still in the tank.
Why am I working so hard when I and my fellow hubbers cannot even link to one of my best hubs!
I am so mad I am in tears. Very sad to have all this work and to have a great hub about a health issue that needs to be heard unavailable.
Have you contacted admin to report the problem? That might be more productive and get a happy resolution faster than getting hysterical in the forums.
I have. It may be just me but if it isn't there may be more hubbers experiencing the same problem.
I contact team at hubpages and gave them hub with the score of 85.
I thought perhaps it was because the hub score was under 70, but a score of 85 is pretty good. This is one of my favorite hubs. It simply breaks my heart.
I am ready just to hang up my Gmagoldie account - I have no traffic and technical problems like this add to my frustration.
I thought this would be a long-term investment but moving these hubs may be warranted.
I am still crying...
I've responded to your email. This may be a bug, please followup with us via email.
*EDIT: Your Hub is currently published.
GmaGoldie! Hang in there! Give it a day or two and let admin work it out and work with them. I have not had the time to check out my hubs tonight as I am limited on online time, but will do some checking as time permits.

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 thought I knew the answer to this question. But something interesting happened in the last week which I found it hard to explain. I'd be interested to hear opinions.I have a hub which is nine months old and had just reached 250-300 hits per day.I was experimenting to see how many tags I could use...

Sometimes when I have ideas for hubs, I "start a hub" and sometimes finish it later or just let it sit there for a while. Maybe I should just write down my hub ideas instead. Does it hurt my hub scores or overall hubber score to have those unfinished hubs (often with just titles) sitting...

I recently got my lowest score ever for a book review on Kate Chopin's novel, The Awakening.Anyone want to give me some feedback? Usually my scores start around 50 and go up as I construct the hub.The entire review is my original writing. I didn't copy any text.

Can someone please help me? I've seen some really sub quality hubs out here. I write well and yet my hubs are being unpublished and continuously picked on for sub quality. I'm offended. You're making it not fun to be a hubber. http://vivbounty.hubpages.com/hub/firew … -plus-help
