(And please pardon any typos I didn't catch--comes from trying to type around a cat in the lap!)
The is yet another query on Hub scores...I just published a new poem today, and prior to publication, and immediately after, it was at a score of 51.
Now, AFTER 3 visits WITH comments, and 2 more visits (without comments, but e-mailed to me)...the score has dropped to 49.
What gives? I thought traffic upped your scores...???
There are too many variables. Don't worry. You're putting undue stress on yourself.
Thanks, Cagsil..LOL...yes, I do that quite well. ... it just peeved me, since the poem got 3 rave reviews in the comments.
You're welcome.
A lot of people do.
It's understandable. Try to relax. I have had hubs go down before they up. Nothing to worry about, as long as it doesn't go below 40.
I just had one do the same thing. Cags is right, sometimes they take a little dip at first. Could be from a down rating, or not. Sometimes the activity on a hub can take a bit to be reflected on the score. If you do have some that fall into the forties like you were talking about, I wouldn't delete them though. Just unpublish and try to revamp them. (btw...if you let a hub sit unpublished a bit before publishing, sometimes the score will rise a little on its own. Some call it marinating
I never worry about scores, it takes time. Somethings pan out while others don't the important thing is to put it out there and move on!
You can edit and work on any hub anytime.

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...

Just had a big drop on my profile score. And all my hubs were featured along with a steady 10 Editors Choice. I say 'were' because 3 were just unfeatured and I don't know what to do about that. My views are over 945,000. Boo-hoo. Hubpages doesn't love me anymore!

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...

Help! I woke up this morning to find that one of my mid-range performing hubs, "What is Creation, by Definition?" (http://lauraschneider.hubpages.com/hub/What-is-creation) had plummeted to a score of 55. It was 74 on Sept. 8th, 2013, and I know it is a well-written article with 3...

Would you delete a hub that creates lots of comments because...it has a score of 63? I have a hub that is very controversial. It has 1100 words, the grammar is decent, multiple photos, and a poll. It has over 300 comments and several thousand views that I would lose if I were to delete it. I've...

The scoring system of habpages is either fundamentally flawed or purposely biased in favor of long hubs. You said it hubpages team: the more, the merrier, but I don�t think that this is in your interest, or the interest of hubbers and other people using the website. To make my case, I used...
