I observed that sometimes I cannot access hubpages. I will wait for 5 to 6 minutes and try to reload the page again before I will be directed. Apart from that I also observed that my organic traffic reduced to more than half of what I usually get. I don't know if it's just me, do you think it's just coincidence? Like most of the hubbers, I also depend on organic traffic. We all know that competition is tough when it comes to google SERPS, so problem such as error on accessing our hub pages would easily shoo away possible visitors in just a split second, and that would affect our overall traffic and earnings. To the hubbers, especially located in Asia, do you experience the same? Please let me know, thanks.
I do experience the connection failure from time to time. I always think it is probably related to "maintenance" issues of some sort. It happened last night, as a matter of fact, and I shut down my browser for a few minutes then came back. And it was working again. It was only down for several minutes.
Even if it's only down for a few minutes,if that happens to be the time the Google bot comes a knocking to see what's new, well....you can see the issue.
I don't necessarily experience errors, but sometimes it takes forever to load. Usually in my experience this occurs most often during the weekday.
Most times I have a hard time accessing HP. I would say 8/10 times I have to deactivate my anti-virus to access the site. When I have to re-sign in, which is way more than the 48 hour period, I have to also close my anti-virus program.
Don't know what HP is running on their site, but it creates havoc with Kaspersky. And I never get all of the pictures to show up on any single page. I get empty boxes on at least half the page.

I think many people are facing same problem on hubpages. My featured hubs turned unfeatured because of traffic and when I tried to edit them and resubmitted, they got unfeatured for quality??I wonder how my high traffic hubs are now unfeatured because of quality. Even I am still writing in the same...

I have 37 articles on PetHpful that are undergoing editing....AGAIN. This happens a lot. I'm expected to go into each article, read it, fix the mistakes the editors put into my articles, and repost the articles. I have other writing projects (book, book trailer) pending for my agent, and I don't...

This is very, very, unfortunate, but it seems I have been penalized by a Google Alg or something. I have OVER 100 HUBS that have BLUE ARROWS. My traffic went down earlier this year a bit, but stayed consistent for several months. Now it has dropped by 50%. Not sure if this occurred today or...

I just checked my Webmaster Tools and can see a sudden, dramatic rise in strange 404 messages - and that rise coincides with my fall in traffic. Can others check to see if they have the same? It's as if Google is inserting HubPages' categories into my sub-domain to create...

I read in today's blog about the Automated Grammar and Spelling Checker coming in September.I like the idea of correcting errors in comments. Many times I had to delete comments that were written with terrible misspellings and very bad grammar so as not to lose search engine ranking, But I'm...

It looks like my traffic has bounced back to where it should be. I also cranked out a lot of articles (for me, at least) after the new algorithm change as my way of dealing with it, but it looks like in spite of the incoming traffic to those new hubs, I'm still up. I was just curious what other...
