When Hub Hopping, should I check for copied material, or should I leave that up to HubPages ?
While hub hopping I noticed that some of the hubs were very well written, but when I went to look at the hubber who wrote it, their profile was barely understandable, with so many grammatical and spelling errors it made me wince.
If you find that it has been copied, then you should report it. Though I think HubPages checks every hub for copied material before publishing them.
Thanks paiva25, if I know its being copied I would of course report, my question was do I have to check each hub when I am hub hopping.
If you feel it has been and have the time to do so, then it would be great.
You can just copy a part of the Hub into the Google Search and you'll get the original article in the search result.
Yes, if you know for sure it is copied material, flag it. There is no room on Hubpages for this type of behavior. It is a slap in the face to all of us who work very hard to come up with original content.
You should check the content for duplication and even hubpages team also check the hub.

I have been hub hopping lately and I am disgusted with the incoherent garbage that I am coming across - nothing but poorly translated articles of about 400 words, usually without even any formatting. I would say that more than half of the articles I randomly encounter are clearly nothing but spun...

In light of the Google algo change, it is now obvious and confirmed that hub-hopping is VERY important. I feel that if you publish here, you should hub hop when you can. As it should hopefully increase our revenue and hopefully take this hubpages back to the top, where it belongs.The problem is...

I like hopping hubs, learning new things and meeting other hubbers. However, I have absolutely no interest in reading hubs on religion, politics, poems, fictional stories or some far away place I will never visit so I skip them. Usually this is no big deal but I just hopped about 30 hubs and no...

I was really excited when I saw this new feature because I thought it was a great way to support, get to know and interact with other hubbers...But...for the most part, with some exceptions it is a load of garbage. When I think of all the painstaking time I take putting a hub together...and I...

Does anyone else miss the old hub hopping version? - I am not a fan of the new version.It is too difficult to stop hopping and get back to your home page.

There are a lot of terrible junk hubs here that are damaging to all the hardworking writers that are a major source of good content, be it commercial or otherwise.I would love to see as many hubbers as possible flagging crappy hubs with zero appeal.Lets take out the trash.
