A link for all those people who need large number of fans in their bucket.
Not a role model, in my opinion. The Hubber is following others in droves, and suffers a low author score as a result.
well, that is not much lower.... And this person did this with only 1 hub in hand.... That's the shocking thing.... Public can be so blind... never thought of it.
I feel that having 1,000 followers would lose the personal touch. It felt rather mechanised when Five One Cows sent the same fan mail to me that he sends to everyone saying that his Stinky collection is doing whatever and saying 'you're cool'. I just deleted it.
He's also lost a number of hubs...he followed me the other day and when I went to look I'm sure he had a lot more than 1.
I mean 1000 followers is great and all.. But most of those people that followed back aren't really going to pay attention to anything this guy writes.. If he writes anything at all.
I'd rather get organic followers, just like I'd rather get organic views on my hubs.
Hello Mikeydoes,
You are really a great Person.... 100k views in just 4 months of joining.... Interesting...
Organic things bring us the real joy that we need.
Just little bit curious to know about your strategies...and...Statistics... after such achievement.
1 hub an almost 1000 followers hmm! i rather followers that read what i write.
I've been pretty open about most of achievements.
All I did was tried to get an understanding of what works.
The amount of time I spent on a hub varied. Basically these 4 months have all been me testing and learning. I can't say that I spent a lot of time on my hubs. However some I did spend plenty of time on, and those are actually ones that get the fewest views!
After looking at other sites through search, I found that even with the little information I provide, it is much better than what comes up on the first page of Google. If I can't top it, I don't bother.
My suggestion is try all different types of hubs. Experiment. If it fails.. Who cares? I did at first, but when I realized I can update my hubs, I really stopped caring.
Also on some of my worst hubs that I thought sucked(and I really still think they do), I had people comment and say "great hub! Wealth of info!" That is when I realized no one actually reads what I write!
If you have any particular questions it is easier to just contact me personally.
Having no followers isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor will it cripple you. Most people have separate accounts with NO followers, and those are the big money makers for them!
Well, Followers r good, only if, they r going to read our articles....
You Said : The articles on which u spent more time were not much successful than the other ones -- Means u tried various methods to get more traffic on them, while maintaining their qualities.
-- Happened with me on 40% of my Hubs (And I don't have too many).

I Will Contact u for more queries via Hub-pages Contact form.
Ya, I know, we can easily open a another account on hubpages... But, are we allowed to link same 'adsense account' on more than one profile, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for Good conversation.
1,000 readers is a drop in the bucket. To make money, you need many thousands of readers. It's flattering to have many followers but I don't expect to make one cent from them - Hubbers don't click on ads.
Yes, you can link the same Adsense account to more than one profile. In fact that's all you can do, because you're not allowed to have more than one Adsense account.

" In fact that's all you can do " - LoL!!!! Marisa... Smiles!!!
Well, Followers may not click on our ads but the numbers can make a good impression on outside visitors.
Actually, the only people who are impressed are other Hubbers.
I've found that most outside visitors don't even look at your stats, and if they do, they don't understand what they mean!
Well, I can't say Much about this instead of believing in you as you're more experienced.
Thanks for the reply.
You are right because before i join hubpages , i wasn't understand what mean of this number (hub score and hubber score) , all i was care about is the content of the hub.
It is funny because although that user has many followers, no more hubs will be published so all they will get are less important updates from that user.
My understanding is as follows: The follower of many potential followers has now followed so many, and been followed by so many, that his author score has dropped below 75 and all of his links have become no-follow, which makes him even harder for me to follow. Do you follow?
You mean that this hubber cant able to publish more hubs !!
His single hub is very long and could easily be divided into 12 hubs but still his indiscriminate following and being followed back make no sense.
I wouldn't bother following his example, Hubpages followers are nice to have, and I appreciate every person who truly thoguht that I was worth their time and attention, but those who just follow in a vain attempt to increase their own follower count are just wasting their time.

In my years on this site I have seen so many people randomly follow me in hopes that I follow them back. And then as soon as I do, if the topics they write on interest me, they delete me from the hubbers they're following?Do you guys really think this makes people want to read and comment on...

I am fairly new here, but what I've learned is that most people follow to get followers. (I was that person). What I discovered was that, if I follow you I am required to read your hubs when published.My suggestion; don't follow to be followed. Follow because you genuinely are interested in the...

Why do followers stop following ?I have lost 3 followers this week for no apparent reason. I wonder what people's reasons are for unfollowing each other. Why follow in the first place? My suspicious mind tells me it is people who only followed me originally to try to increase their own flock of...

On Hubpages, if someone follows you, do you have to follow them back as courtesy?I have noticed a lot of people that have followed me that don't leave any comments. I wonder if I should follow them back as courtesy or not? The ones that do leave comments when they follow me are the ones...

Right now, while a Hub is pending, it doesn't show ads, it has a "no follow" tag etc. However our followers get notified and they may share the Hub during that time. It would be nice if that notification could be delayed, too.
