My hub score has been consistently between 85 and 95, but two days ago it suddenly dropped down to 78 and 76, and I am doing nothing different and my traffic remains the same as does my over all hub averages. I am concerned though since at below 75 I understand the links on my hubs become no follow. I have removed two poetry hubs that were 60 or below, maybe that will help. What I also do not understand at this point if these are truly sub-domains in our name now why any would become no follow without our permission.
Hello Multiman:
I just noticed that today myself. My profile Hubber score usually sits around 93 and never drops below 90. It is now at 88, which bothers me somewhat. Also haven't been writing any hubs over the last few days, because we have lost power due to Hurricane Irene. Thank god for starbucks internet hotspot! Good luck and keep me informed of other possibilities that could be affecting our scores.

Sit tight, don't follow anyone else for a while and the score will probably build back up.
Absolutely. Only follow people who you are genuinely interested in.

How do you react to hubs with comments disabled?As a hub reader, how important is it to you to be able to comment? Does it frustrate you when you are not allowed to comment on a hub? Will you still vote on that hub? Will you follow an author who disables comments? I wonder if disabling comments...
