According to Google the link tag containing the URL to the pubsubhubbub hub (This is a really terrible name) needs to go under the Atom entry element like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xml:lang="en-GB" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <!-- ... -->
  <entry>
    <link rel="hub" href="https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/" />
    <!-- ... -->
  </entry>
</feed>

However, all the implementations and blog posts I have seen add it to the feed element instead like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xml:lang="en-GB" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <!-- ... -->
  <link rel="hub" href="https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/" />
  <entry>
    <!-- ... -->
  </entry>
</feed>

What is the correct location for it?

    @JulienGenestoux it is directly on the front page: `Add an //atom:link tag under //atom:entry for Atom feeds or under //rss:rss/channel for RSS feeds. The //atom:link tag should have rel attribute set to hub and href attribute set to https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/` – Matthias Pfefferle Jun 09 '15 at 08:17

It should be at the feed level: http://pubsubhubbub.github.io/PubSubHubbub/pubsubhubbub-core-0.3.html#discovery (that is btw. the same spec, Google is referencing).
