Has The Rebound Started at HubPages?
After literally years of declining numbers of Hubbers and published Hubs, the last few days have seen a rebound in both categories, as chronicled in the Hub "Google attacks our Hub Pages."
Do you think this is the start of an actual rebound in this site, after years of decline or is it just another bump in the downward road?
I'm very pleased with my numbers, especially lately - I think with the niche sites things are definitely on the rebound!
Hi, I hope it's on the upward swing. I am new here and really like it. I am just getting back into writing and it feels good. I love the interaction with other people.
Glad you like writing and HubPages Terrie. As long as you can live within their constraints, you'll be happy here. It does provide a good platform for publishing.
I am learning and making progress. I like that I can ask a question and people answer. I am still shaking the dust of my pen and asking questions really helps.
I hope so...it seems there's a lot on the upswing for me, at least. Eight out of ten new Hubs were chosen for a niche site. And, I had the biggest leap of viewership a few months ago. It's slowed down, but there are time when there's a sharp spike.
I hope so. I for one would like to see HubPages be more successful than it is right now. I also noticed quite a few new sign ups to HubPages who seem to be promoting spam. We need to report these people to get them blocked. It will take more self policing to keep this site high quality. The staff can only do so much since there are only 25 staff members last I check.
They are doing a fantastic job.
I also noticed more google searches ranked higher for hubpages... another good sign.

Only the best Hubs on HubPages are being moved to niches, so everything on the niche sites is spam free and trash free. There are no pieces written in broken English or written in ways that appear to be spun. Everything that's low quality is left behind. Even the ads are high-quality on the niche...

Hi all. Have been away for a while. Can you please update me to the effect that the niche sites have had on your hubpages if any. Look forward to chatting with you all my fellow hubbers!

I'm thinking the answer is probably yes?If you have hubs that have been deemed "not featured", for one reason or another, will that factor into lowering your overall score/rating as a HubPages member? Example--let's say your overall rating is 75. If 10 non featured hubs become...

I already have a number of hubs moved to the Hubpages network sites, but haven't really seen a drastic traffic change in said hubs. So, is it worth the risk to submit one of my hubs that already receives a decent amount of daily views to a vertical site?I'd hate to see aforementioned hub drop in...

I was under the impression that we could only submit one hub every two weeks for niche sites. I submitted a hub and an editor replied with changes that I needed to make before it could be moved. As I'm making those changes, I have received two emails that another two of my hubs are...

Over 1/4 of my hubs have not been moved to a niche site. They do not have much traffic from Google, so it is not HPs fault that they have not been selected. There is nothing wrong with them, but they do not have "Google love" so are only moved in the slow process where I ask HP to move...
