Do views overpower a non featured rating?
A couple of my hubs did not get featured. They were judged as substandard, but there were no hits on them to even be judged. I believe it was more a computer program algorithm, than actual quality. Will they be featured if I can get the views up? Or are they stuck that way until I edit them?
You can edit and make certain changes in your non featured hubs to get back the Featured status.
A change in the title, an addition of a video or a picture, changing the layout, adding some more content etc. can help. In other words follow the 'Need some goals' and it will most certainly be Featured.
If the hub is not Featured, it will not show on your profile page or elsewhere on HP. Therefore, no one, but you can see it. So, obviously you can not have views.
There is an option however on your profile page, by which even Non featured hubs can be visible, at least on your profile page. You can make changes by Editing it.
Hope that helped!
In addition to what ChitrangadaSharan correctly said, views will overcome being non featured due to engagement, but not if it has been judged as sub-standard.
Follow ChitrangadaSharan's advise, especially the Style Tips and "Need Some Goals" you get when editing a Hub, they are most helpful particularly if your hubs are not quite up to their standard. Good luck!

If a new hub is not featured, does this mean it is substandard?And, can others see it?

I have been thinking about how I can give some of my hubs that receive less traffic more light. On our profiles, we can pick a bunch of hubs that feature in a "gallery" that fades in and out, right under our bios and above the published hubs listed in the bottom section. This year, my...

Is it possible that, even when a Hub is in Idle Status, it could still be found on the Web and get views and thereby come out of Idle Status? I ask this because I was searching the Web on a subject and accidentally found a Hub and when I checked the Hubber's profile, this particular Hub was not...

Can moderators and administrators view hubs that have not yet been finished. One of my hubs that is in progress and not yet published, has already got a score of 70ish and had 19 views.

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.

Am I taking crazy pills, or is there another google update going on, or what? My traffic dropped on 8/8/13 from about 150 views a day to 0-9. My top hub is getting zero every day now. My hub score dropped from 90-something to 76. No overpromotion, no suddenly unfeatured...
