Secrets To A High Hubpages Author Score

By lesterd2009

The Hubpages author score is something that worries a lot of people, some people think that having a low score means, less money in fact it doesnt, but it has some effects, having a low score of 75 or less next to your picture does not mean you are a bad writter, or your hubs are worthless, it simply means you need to fix a couple of things on your hubs and follow some strategies to raise that score.

The 100 author score is one of the most desire things in hubpages, I sure would not mind having the 100 next to my picture, but you might be thinking is it really that important? well, it is, and here is why having a high score means popularity in hubpages, means more traffic to your hubs and as a result more chances of increasing your income with hubpages.

This is my 50th hub and I been part of hubpages so far for about 3 months and since the first week I join my score has been in the 90s non-stop so far the highest was 96 but I been documenting and learning the factors that can change your score drastically to keep control of it and I can say I learned some things that are pretty useful towards that 100 score, I will discuss the importance of that high score and how to archieve and maintain a high score.

THE MEANING OF A HIGH AUTHOR SCORE

As I been part of hubpages for some months now I noticed that most of the traffic comes from hubpages itself, then comes the search engines, so it was clear that I need it to improve my popularity in the hubpages community, so having a score of over 85 will increase your popularity and the traffic in your hubs, the author score is calculated around 2 factors

traffic
activity

the amount of traffic you can get to your hubs will increase your score but the activity or the time you spend on hubpages commenting, rating and any other activities will help your score as well, now you want to know how to raise that score I will share the results of my research on this hub and although is based on my personal experience I hope it helps other hubbers increase their score as well.

SECRETS TO RAISE YOUR AUTHOR SCORE

REMINDER: Remember this results are from my personal experience but they did work and I been able to maintain a score above 85 for quite some time now and I expect to get to 100 soon, hoping that this information can help other hubbers out there.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO A HIGH AUTHOR SCORE BY LESTER

How many hubs do I need to have a score above 85?

The amount of hubs you have does not matter but 10% of the total amount of hubs you have should have an individual hub score of over 80, for example if you have 50 hubs like me at least 10 hubs should have an individual score of over 80 that means those hubs are getting a decent amount of traffic daily and that will help your author score.

2. How active do I need to be on Hubpages?

In my experience I try to log into my account everyday to approve comments, check my score, see the amount of views I have and also it helps to answer some questions in the answer section because it raises your awareness in the community, try to answer some questions once a week and you can also get some good ideas for hubs in there.

3. How many hubs should I have to maintain my score?

Something I noticed also is that when you spend some time without publishing a new hub, your score starts to lower, is like an animal that needs to be fed once in a while, my recommendation is to make at least 3 hubs every 7 days or 3 hubs per week to keep the flow going.

4. What can I do if my hubs are all low in score?

Remember traffic is one of the most important things to raise the score, so see in your account your best performing hubs and use social bookmarking sites or use them to respond related questions in the answer sections, I will placed a link on the bottom to help you with this.

5. What kind of hubs work better to increase my score?

That is a difficult question but hubs dedicated to answer a question ask by a lot of people get higher scores, hubs to help the hubpages community and hubs to give tips about popular topics in the search engines perform better.

6. How can my hubs perform better in score?

To obtain the highest possible score in a hub you need to try to keep your hubs above 700 words I noticed some short hubs receive scores of 40s when above 700 words received in the 50s right away.

7. How can I get better traffic from search engines?

2 things for this the tittle of your hub should not be too long and the tags should be all related I will post a link to help you with this.

8. Whats a sure way to get to 100 author score?

Have 50% of your hubs with a score above 85 and quality unique content with high traffic.

You didn't mention the biggest reason to get a score above 75. If your author score isn't at least 75, ALL of your links from your Hubs are nofollowed, even if the Hubscore is 99.

I'm new and just figuring all this stuff out, so I keep getting surprised after getting the whole "Just 3 easy steps" introduction to Hubpages.

By the way, just FYI regarding the starting HubScore. If you do the Photo-Text-Comments template and put in a graphic and write 400 words, your score will start at 50. Leave out the graphic and your score starts in the 40s.

These are some great tips. I have always struggled to compete with other hub page authors in my niche. I promote the gaming niche and was sad to see low score.

And I'll surely be more active on the forums. Thanks for the tips!

angela_michelle Level 4 Commenter 22 months ago

Very good advice, but your math in the first question is wrong. (Sorry math geek and this sort of stuff sticks out to me) You need five of your fifty hubs to be over 80 to have ten percent above that threshold. Sorry to point it out... I just figured you'd want to fix the mistake. You can delete this comment I won't be offended. But I figured you'd like to know.

Excellent article. thanks! I noticed an arithmetic discrepancy. You mentioned: 1. How many hubs do I need to have a score above 85?

10% of 50 would be 5, so is it 10%, which would be 5, or 20% which would be 10?

these are some useful tips but I have noticed a few hubbers who have little to no activity for a couple of months and are maintaining high hub scores. It seems if I leave mine alone for more than a few days it drops.

If you have 50 hubs then you only need 5 to be above hub score 80, not 10 - which would be 20%.

I hadn't realised until recently how much effort you need to put into hub pages. But I guess its worth it since they definitely do rank well!

Thanks

Great! I did a search because mine is so low. I just started a couple days ago, had writers block, and didn't write until today, and my first hub is rated at 48 even though I JUST published it, and the one by my pic is 19! Must be because I haven't been active since signing up - except to read others' hubs on how to be successful.
