Due to some possible misconceptions about having a sole focus on Hubpages with scoring issues of a minimum of 75 and other mathematical and related issues to get a dofollow link, note there is a lot more to Hubpages than this. First of all, note that you do not have to focus on the Hubpages score; that's only one minor aspect of their program and not even a necessary item to focus on for success with their site pages. Most people who do well on Hubpages do not even focus on this; many have no concept of it and could care less.

Second, check out the multiple benefit package of Hubpages alone, and don't take our word for it - do your own research, starting here:

In a nutshell, you’ll find that many, many people earn money from monetizing their Hubs, interacting as their own experts and actually marketing the pages themselves including the links in other promotions like article resource boxes, emails, etc. I.E. they don’t sit back and rely on search engines to find them and follow links, or any one-time set up with no interaction afterwards, etc.

If you are intent to focus on score alone (always optional), note the following

 - you do not reach high scores instantly. It's a process and not a guaranteed one, so note the actual rules and bookmark the links, as these evolve and are under the control of Hubpages:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Hubscore

http://hubpages.com/hub/DoFollow

Mainly note:

"We reserve the right to change the factors used to assess a Hub’s HubScore as we continue to determine those that measure a great Hub." - Hubpages

I.E. no one can promise scores, not even Hubpages, especially over the long haul, because their program can change at any time, and it always involves many factors in their math calculations, factors that can and do change as their system evolves. Plus reaching high scores is not an overnight process.

So plan an effective program with Hubpages, not just a single-focused effort on "score" but a well-rounded use of the Hubpages using them in your other marketing efforts, sending visitors there, not just counting them as links. Your Hubpages can be very valuable. They are like anything else; they are what you make of them within their limitations and guidelines. They are not a quick fix for riches, internet marketing, etc. They are a channel of online marketing. 

Squidoo Lenses

In a similar manner, Squidoo lenses carry multiple features and benefits. Again, their program is what you make of it, keeping up with the evolution of their site and program. Do you homework with their monetizing and internet marketing options to develop your lenses and grow your promotions in with your other marketing mix, online and off, sending visitors to your lenses in resource box links, email and forum signatures and invites, etc.
