In Google Analytics I notice I get traffic that is listed under another hubber. When I go to the page there are no links in their article, so I assume they come from the other suggested hubs at the end of the page. If that is the case, who gets paid for that? The page that the link came from (the other hubber), me or Hubpages?

In most cases revenue comes from users who clicks AdSense ads on your Hubs (there is are also ebay and Amazon for example).
Google analytics isn't used for HubPages revenue calculation, nor is revenue related directly to traffic for Hubs.
You share a percentage of all the clicked ads on your Hubs.

It doesn't matter from where or how users get to your hub. As long as they view it and you have the Ad Program on you will get paid.
Authors are not paid based on traffic to their Hubs.
Traffic can certainly influence what revenue you do make, but in some cases it is possible for someone to view your Hub and you receive no revenue from it, depending upon what ads if any they click.
But, if a person comes to your Hub from a link in another author's Hub, then no, that author does not receive revenue from ads clicked in your Hub.
Well if people view the hub that means an ad has been shown and Ad Program pays for ad impressions. Am I wrong?
Here are the details.

I can't think of a reason that such traffic would have any negative impact on your revenue or Google search ranking.
Can you explain what you mean by good?
Lol. I don't really know what I meant. Hey, traffic is traffic right!

I love to see what people were looking for when they found my hubs, it helps me choosing new titles and see which questions I left unanswered.I was hoping to see keywords under Traffic Sources, but I have to click on each hub and then stats, and then keywords.... quite a long process to check them...

Analytics tells me that I suddenly started getting traffic from something called the Maven Coalition. Since I don't have a website on Maven, are my hubs being advertised there? How can I figure out where specifically on Maven this traffic is coming from?
