Which Is More Important, Hubber Score or Traffic?

72

By hillymillydee

Why my Hubber score is low?

See all 3 photos

Some hubbers tend to be very anxious about their hubber score than thinking about the traffic on their hubs. If their hubber score is low, it seems a very big deal for them. But which is supposed to be of serious concern for a hubber, the hubber score or the traffic to his hubs?

Me I'm Okay

The importance of high hubberscore

Just as our hubs has hubscores to designate the quality of our hubs, our over all performance as a hubber is designated by our hubberscores. While we are not sure what are the basis on how hubpages gives the scores, we are sure it has something to do with the quality of our hubs, our proper participation in the community, the traffic and the respond of readers to our hubs.

I think it is best explain in this way; "do good and your hubber score will be good, do better and your hubber score will be better, do the best and your hubber score will be the best"

And of course if you do bad, your hubber score will go down.

What are the benefits of having a high hubber score?

  • If your hubber score is high you will be encourage to work harder.
  • It can also be one reason that other hubbers will take interest to read your hubs, leave a comment and follow you.

What is traffic?

Traffic is actually the visitors who come to visit and read your hubs. They may come from within the hubpages community and from the SERP or search engines results page. If you want to check your traffic sources you can go to your account, see the left side bar and click the traffic sources, and there you will know how many visitors came to visit your hubs. You will notice how many visitors from hubpages, google.com, google.com.ph, google.co.in, google.co.uk, google.ca, yahoo and bing and so on and so forth.

The importance of traffic

  • If hubbers will visit your hubs they are part of the traffic. But remember fellow hubbers will never click your ads. You will not earn a single penny from them. But surely your hub can make a good reputation and good ranking if hubbers will vote up or leave a positive feed back.
  • What about if your traffic comes from other reputable sources such as what I mentioned above? Traffic from the outside can give the same benefit you get from the traffic you had from hubbers. The difference is that you can earn revenue from the traffic who search your hubs from the search engines.
  • And the more traffic you have from the search engine, the more revenue you can earn. Why? because they are people who actually are looking for the answers to their questions. They are actually clients, buyers or costumers who are visiting your hub having the intention to buy products. Their wallet is ready so to speak. They may not leave comments but there is a possibility that they will click your ads or may choose to buy from Amazon or Ebay.

For example: If someone is looking for a burglar alarm and they will find your article about that, chances are there that either they will click adsense, ebay or amazon. And that's why traffic is important if we need to earn revenue from our hubs

But how can you increase or drive traffic in your articles?

Over and over again we are told to make a unique, high quality article with good keywords that people are searching for. High quality articles with well-researched keywords can even stand alone as money makers even without backlinking. But if you like to optimise, promote and backlink your article with other strategies you know to increase traffic in your hubs then it would be better.

Which is more important to you?

  • Hubber score
  • Traffic
  • All of the above
See results without voting

So traffic from all sources has an impact on how your hubber scores will be rated. Remember your hubber score has nothing to do with driving traffic from the SERP to your articles and earning revenues. So hubbers must be concern most not on their hubber scores but how to drive traffic in their articles. Even our hubber scores are high if it is only because other hubbers came to vote and leave comments, you can not earn revenues if you don’t have traffic from the search engine. So if traffic is important to you, then you are shooting two birds with just one arrow, your ranking and your revenue.

It is good to have a high hubber score but it is better to increase traffic. And the best of all is when they go together. So continue driving traffic in your hubs and you will see how your hubber score will smile with you.

You have done good work. I am working on improving my content. I think the real answer is to try to improve in the areas where you are weak and keep streching in the writing process.

I don't think this will come over night but it will come with effort being made.

Each Hub will be the best you can do.

I go for both because I want some people to be continual readers and help spread the word to their own networks. But to get people to show up and have a decent hub score, you need to get people to show up. So both are dependent on each other.

quickbooker,

There are more factors why our hubberscore goes up and and down. I wrote another hub about this fluctuation http://hillymillydee.hubpages.com/hub/Tips-For-New

I hope that will help. It covers the possible reasons why our hubberscore goes down and up so we know what to improve to achieve good score.

Thanks for your visit and your inquiry.

You are right, hubber score has nothing to do with traffic, but traffic can increase the hubberscore. We therefore focus on driving traffic than hubberscore.

Traffic and it is not even close. After all traffic can increase the hubber score but I doubt that hubberscore has any meaningful effect on traffic. Also traffic is what creates revenue for bot the author and hubpages plus it is nice to know that people read what you have to share.

Interesting hub, well done!

Thanks Hilly, this was a very informative hub.

I often talk about this subject in my blog and it always seems that people obsess way too much over their hubberscore rather than seeing the whole process of creating traffic serving both HubPages and themselves the best.

Thanks for adding a little enlightenment to the sometimes mysterious world of HubPages.

hillymillydee Hub Author 2 months ago

RetailRich,

before you create your hub, you check your topic in the Google keyword tool and see if many people are looking for it. because even we write a very nice topic if people are not looking for it, no one will ever go to your hub.

I checked one of your hub about tropical fish, many people are looking for it but your competition is huge.

You need to check the term or phrase people use that has less competition.

Anyway thanks for reading and leaving your comment.

RetailRich Level 2 Commenter 2 months ago

We must be concern more about driving traffic because it is what will give us revenue. Someone could have a high score but is not earning. So we must not be worried about score but be thinking how to drive traffic.

2uesday Level 6 Commenter 3 months ago

In my case - hubscore and traffic seem not to have no connection. Hubscore for me bears no relationship to what is happening in that the highest score can have far lower traffic than a hub with a hubscore. I have even had a seasonal hub sitting there with the highest score when it has completely 'gone off the boil'. So now I just ignore the numbers as they do not mean anything to me.

Awesome hub, explained all the fine points so nicely. Defintely a great hub for beginners like me. But one thing I would like to know about is the reason for fluctuations of the hub scores and hubber scores many times in a day. Sometimes it just shoots up and then again goes down, which makes it really confusing to pin point the exact cause. Any idea what cause such fluctuations in a single day?

Right after reading this helpful hub, Mila, I directly went to the "keywordtool" I tried using it, following instruction to the letter. I used words such as scabies, spread, reproduce, medicine from my published hub about scabies on the keywordtool, focusing my attention on keywords with low and medium competition and with lots of global and local searches as well. I did find keywords which I deem appropriate to use so as to edit said hub to render it more conducive to receive more hub traffic.

The problem confronting me, Mila, is: Are the keywords in words or phrases as they appear in the keywordtool to be used as is in the actual edition or editing of my scabies hub. For instance, the keyword "symtoms of scabies" shall be included in my revised hub as is. I need your help!

Nomascus,

If a hubber will come to read your hub and happen to click your ads, you can be paid. But Hubbers don't have the intention to click your ads they are just there to read your hub and leave comments. They don't have the purpose to visit your hub and click your ads so you will be paid. And it is not proper to do just clicking so other hubbers will be paid. But people from the search engine are people who are really looking for the answers to their question so they will click for more information or buy from your Amazon or Ebay products.

Thank you for the Info hillymillydee. That what I am doing right now, I have never really written serious hubs which needed some research- aside from my hobby which is programming but hopefully it is on the way after all my time consuming projects. Not many hubbers are interested on this niche but in my short time here on hubpages I have been receiving traffic from google and I just discovered that almost all of my hubs either belong to the google's first page or on the first rank. Nah I am so ecstatic to discover it.

Hopefully, I'll have a bright future here on hubpages as a writer and blogger.

Specialist5,

Hubberscore is the number beside your profile photo,

hubscore is the number on top of your hub title.

Traffic are people who come and visit your hub.

It is good if our hubberscore is high because it will say something about our performance as a hubber but increasing traffic is better since we can have lots of chances to earn revenue. Don't bother much about your hubscore just keep on writing a quality articles.

Yes I will be happy to visit your hubs

Thanks for coming and leaving a comment.

Too cute monkeys! A lot of great info for new Hubbers like me. I didn't know that there was such a thing as a Hubscore. I guess that's the number at the top of each HP. I'm reading everything I can to learn about HP an being a good Hubber. Many thanks. Stop by and visit one of my HP if you get a chance and let me know what you think. Great future ahead for you.

Yes blakequintero,

If we just be concern of driving traffic then hubberscore will go up anyway.

Thanks a lot for reading and leaving your additional thought.

More than the hub score i think one should worry about building traffic to his hubs from other sources. I don't see any apparent benefit with having a higher hub score.

Amber,

Welcome to Hubpages,

Yes, it is really important to know how we can make the best out our hubs, we want to be a part of the community but we also want to earn from our hardwork. Like the hard working monkey in the photo above.

Enjoy writing and thanks for commenting!

Tams,

It is my pleasure to share what I learned from experience in the internet specially my being in the hubpages. I know many hubbers are confuse with what to do since I saw many questions about that in the answer portion. And maybe many just didn't ask it yet.

Thanks a lot for reading and leaving a comment

Starting from pictures....they are really great! and lovely too...You just explained the whole hubpages help guide in an single hub. The way you differentiated the importance of hubscore and traffic is really great and i loved the way you explained. It is so simple and perfect words are expressed with key things about what should be great or what should be done to be great to reach the importance of hubpages community!

Really great work. Voted up! Thanks for sharing..

You have a great analysis on the differences between your hubscore and traffic. I think people tend to get a bit obsessed with their hubberscores because no one wants a bad score. However, it is important to maintain traffic in order for people to be reading your hubs and get new visitors to your articles. It took a while to figure it all out, and I am still learning as I go along. When I first started, all my traffic was from other hubbers. It took some time, but now most of my traffic comes from google.

Ian Dabasori Hetr Level 4 Commenter 3 months ago

I am pretty sure this hub was made to answer my question.

Hubber score Vs more traffic

Is it important to have a higher hubber score or have more traffic when it comes to earning in hub pages?

If it is so, then all I can say is "hillymillydee" what have I done to receive a full hub answering my question. This is more than I asked for and I m so glad to know great writers like you who can a tiny pieces of idea into great information for every one.

Useful and voted up. SHARING with my friends.

BTW my 30/30 is going so smoothly and traffic I have been getting for the last four days is unbelievable. Thanks to you again for showing me the way out.

I agree with J.S. You have covered the subject very well. High quality hubs that people like to read are the key to success with or without money. Traffic can get you where you want to go! Voted up and useful. Thanks for SHARING.

You have broken the process down very well! I like the monkey images you used to express productivity! The best quote from this Hub is: "Do good and your hubber score will be good, do better and your hubber score will be better, do the best and your hubber score will be the best..." Great illustration!

Although my score has dropped, I maintain a level of traffic both from the site and the search engines that I am happy with. My income has continued to grow and I am now focusing on quality content rather than followers.

I have to say I was one time a 95+ HubberScore but paid a penalty when I started pasting the same comment in fan mail after I followed new people. I was doing it just to get followers and didn't write enough Hubs. You have described the balance for being a great Hubber as a commentor and also for self production.

I am looking forward to regaining my position as a top Hubber and applaud you for this truthful article. Very well said, voting up and SHARING!

JSMatthew~
