Are your hub scores driving you crazy?
Perhaps I look at my scores too often, but they are making me very anxious, I hover between 80 and 85 and feel like this is very inadequate. Perhaps it is because I am relatively new at this and only have 7 published hubs. Perhaps I need to take a writing course at the local university.
How to do you get a score of 95 or above?
Thanks!
The highest score that I've ever gotten is 82.
Here is a link to info on scores: https://hubpageshelp.com/features/Learn … bber-score
You are doing well with that score and being new. Mine improves as I edit and check grammar. The traffic you get from search results and views also changes that score. Keep it up. Welcome
Thanks for the support! I am having fun with this, but need reassurance that I am on the right track!
Thank you for picking mine for best answer. I am going to read some of your work. Enjoy you day.
The scores will go up, and then the scores will go down. Then they'll likely do more of those two things, without ceasing, for as long as they exist.
I don't think you should worry about it further. Scoring between 80 and 85 is quite good enough, and a hub scored that high could well get as high as 100, and then it may very well drop to 70.
It annoys me a bit when mine are below 80, but it happens. My opinion is if something is below 75, then it should maybe then be attended to.
The simple fact is the score isn't that big a deal. I do not know for certain how it goes just now, but at one point when a hub's score was 65 or below, it meant they de-indexed the thing. That isn't the case now, something can become unfeatured with a very high score.
Scores just aren't that important. They have some sort of significance, but what that significance is may well change.
Don't sweat petty stuff or pet sweaty stuff. Something like that.
Thank you very much for this thoughtful answer. It is much appreciated!

I'd like to suggest we get rid of Hubber Score - and perhaps even Hub Scores. They:- are constantly misunderstood;- cause a lot of upset and grief in the forums; and- encourage newbie Hubbers to direct their efforts in entirely wrong directionsFor instance, I've known newbie Hubbers stop...

Hub with over 800 words of content. My own photos. A video added. 3 Amazon Products that are hub content related. A whopping hub score of 49

Just had a big drop on my profile score. And all my hubs were featured along with a steady 10 Editors Choice. I say 'were' because 3 were just unfeatured and I don't know what to do about that. My views are over 945,000. Boo-hoo. Hubpages doesn't love me anymore!

For a good number of weeks my hubber score has hovered around the 100 mark. Two days ago it started falling, and as I write this, it is down to 89! If this keeps up, it will be 0 in a week! No rhyme or reason to it, but it leaves me wondering why this is happening. I know...

On Friday, April 3rd, I chose two of my hubs with the highest hub scores and made one, distinct change. On Saturday, after seeing the results, I did the same thing to six more. First I will give my results, then I will explain what I did. Two hubs changed on Friday with results as...
