What does Letter "A" mean?
When I click on "my account", I have noticed there's an "A" letter next to all of my hubs. What does it mean?
So many people are wondering...Go to my account and edit any of your hubs that has an A. Then go to the right of your hub in the gray rectangle there will be reorder, tags...and summary. CLick on it and put a small summary of your hub there! Hope this helps.
The letter "A" on your My Account page is a sign that you are missing a summary on that particular Hub. The summary is what shows up in Google results under your title when someone searches for your Hub. It is a good idea to have a summary that is different than the text in your Hub, e.g., don't just take your first sentence and plug it in for your summary. Your summary should be an accurate explanation of your Hub so a reader from Google would want to click on the link to visit your Hub. While in edit mode, the summary tab can be found on the right hand side of your Hub next to reorder, tags, settings, and group. It is a good idea to go through all of your Hubs that have the "A" and create an original summary.
OUTSTANDING! Thank you all for answering this. I had no idea either.
LOL ! Thought a lot of my hubs were great because they were an A !!
Ha ha ! I clicked on it to find out what it meant so I have been busy writing summeries for them !!
HP is saying that you should make a summary or they'll auto generate one for you.
Thanks for all your answers! Now I have to go and write a summery for all my hubs, yay ._.
This "A" indicates that you are missing the summary on your hub. This summary is helpful for the visitors to click on your hub while searching with the search engine.
You can add the summary by clicking the summary module found on the right side of your hub, on the same line with reorder. Write one or two lines about your hub and click on the "done editing" on top. Com back and check your hub, and you won't find the "A" any more there.

I seem to recall that authors should not visit their own pages (maybe its an adsense thing?) so I wanted to find out if there is a "correct" way to respond to comments on our own hubs. Should we just click on them at the initial login page or go into "my account" or is...

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 I write well and yet my hubs are being unpublished and continuously picked on for sub quality.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

I got into an interesting discussion on another thread, and thought it would make a good thread itself. The question of the day is how do you feel about other hubbers clicking on an ad in your hubs?Personally I really don't see a problem with it as long as the ad interests them from a good quality...
