For a few weeks now I have been going to HubPages just that little less often.
There was a time when I would spend several hours on HubPages, writing hubs, answering questions and working hard.
Recently however it seems that HubPages has lost a little of its glitter.
They are scrapping capsules that I have used for years.
They are putting links on my hubs to articles that are poorly written and have no real link to my subject.
It seems that HubPages has somehow lost its way.
Questions now just revolve around one subject. I just logged in and found 18 questions on the hot questions page posted by one person. The questions also involved requests for peoples opinions on certain occupations in Seattle. Of course these may be genuine questions, I am tempted to think that someone is spamming the questions and answers board with hot keywords so as to grab advertising revenue from Google.
Come on people, this is an abuse of the system. It is dragging down the value of HubPages and we all suffer.
Of late I have seen a little recovery of my view rates on HubPages, but the views on my blogs are through the roof.
OK I accept that we are also at the end of football season here in the U.S. and I do expect a drop in views on big game days, but to have view counters move at a snails pace on HubPages on non game days as my view counters click as regularly as my old grandads clock on non game day blog pages. Well something is rotten in the state of HubPages.
