Hi, just wondering how long QAP will take? I have waited more than 24hrs for my newest hub to publish...it shows it being featured in my account but it is not showing on my profile...
Your new Hub is featured, but Google hasn't indexed it yet. I suggest you submit the URL through your account on Google Webmaster Tools. It is taking longer for Hubs to appear on profiles, etc., and I don't know why that is.
On your new Hub, I suggest you change the topic to:
• Games, Toys, and Hobbies »
• Collecting and Collections »
• Rock, Mineral, and Gem Collecting
You will have a higher Google Page Rank for your new Hub if you do this because the topic category 'Crafts & Handiwork' has 6,189 listings and your new Hub will not be featured well there. (The sub-topics 'Stonework' and 'Lapidary' don't have enough Hubs to have a topic webpage yet.)
QAP usually takes 24 hours, but can take more time in some instances.
If you have any further questions about your Hub, please email the title and/or URL for the specific Hub about which you are asking to team@hubpages.com and we can look into it further.
Looks like it is all fixed up now, thanks

Lately I have noticed how most of my articles that have been there for a long time, are being marked as not featured. And even after trying to "fix" them they are placed in the same stage over and over again. Considering the kind of "pay" we get for our effort, it seems kind of...

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.

I am just curious, all 92 hubs of mine are featured. In your opinion, should one delete (although Featured) any hubs where the score on a particular hub has eventually dropped way down from when it was initially high at one point? Or would it be better to just unpublish and later...

What is a HUB, anymore? Please help me understand who I'm sleeping with for tomorrow.OK, If HP now has "QUESTION" for us to ask questions, and if they have "STATUS" for us to announce that we just scratched out Butt, and if Hubs that do not MAINTAIN a constant reader level (I...
