When it comes to building Web2.0 properties to link back to your “money” site, one of the properties you can use is Hubpages, but if you don’t use them properly then you could get your Hub shut down and you need to do some extra work to get your links to be “dofollow” and pass on that link juice.
Hubpages is kind of strict in their policies. If you want to link out to your website, you need to have unique content that will be posted only on Hubpages.
In order to get a link that is dofollow, you need to post it inside your text module. Just use the regular html href tag to do this.
How To Get Your Links To Be “Do Follow”
When you login to hubpages, you will notice a number in the bottom right corner of your picture. That’s called your “profile score” . When the score is 75 or above, the links in your hubs will be dofollow. If it drops below 75, they will become nofollow. If you bring it back up to 75, then they will automatically become dofollow!
Also, I have heard that the individual hub itself needs to have a score of 40 or above else the links will become nofollow (have yet to actually verify this though)
Another thing to be aware of is that if you add 2 links to the same page, then Hubpages automatically makes them nofollow.
Tips For Getting Your Profile (or Hubgber) Score above 75
Just like any Web 2.0 site, Hubpages wants you to be an active part of the community and they reward you for such behavior. So, reading other hubs, rating other hubs and commenting on other hubs can help with your score.
Also, the total number of published hubs you have influences the score.
Your traffic across all hubs can also impact this and if you have any fans that rates in your favor.
Tips For Increasing Your Individual Hub Score:
The scroe of each individual hub is influenced by the following:
1. Length of hub and how much original content it has
2. Traffic that your hub gets
3. Your “Hubber” score
4. The number of thumbs up votes your hub gets
So, if you want to use Hubpages, then you should make sure you post unique, quality content and work at getting those scores up!

Is the comment box on hubpages dofollow or nofollow?
I just checked them and they are nofollow if you put a url in the comment but it looks like the link to your hubpages id is dofollow.
