What is the minimum rating for a hub to be featured?
I recently posted a hub that was not published due to low quality assesment test, which I later came to find out is based on reader ratings. I wonder how much rating do I need, and how do I impress them to that level?
I don't think anyone knows for sure a minimum score to be featured. Sometimes it is due to spammy elements and not quality of content. Anyway, a suggestion is to go the link below and review the quality standards used by the Mturk readers rating articles for hints. The link will open up to standards for Informational articles. To see them for Creative Writing there is hyperlink at the top left.

I woke up this morning and one of my Hubs (Visiting Fort Myers Beach, Florida) was unFeatured. Normally, it's no mystery why a Hub is unFeatured, as the ones that fall into that category have no traffic. However this one has decent traffic. The traffic is not great by many...

I just completed my first year on hubpages. Until recently, I haven't had any issues getting my hubs featured. Just a few tweaks coming from Squidoo and all was well, but recently with every hub I edit, I get a lovely e-mail from HQ saying, "Your hub could be featured . ....
