...pay attention to numbers on your hubs (page views, visitors, comments, etc.)? Or do you just write and not stress over it?
I personally write here because I like HubPages. The only thing I really keep an eye on is my Adsense earnings, but I barely check that once a week. Just wondering if you stay on top of your numbers, and if so, how do you think it helps you. Or do you write here because you love writing and sharing in this community and the rest is gravy?
I guess maybe I am a bit obsessive. I check my stats often! I find it surprising sometimes what gets views, comments and those little red up arrows for traffic. I have seen 2 red up arrows a few times now and find it exciting. Is a good indication that some of the promotion I have done is helping. I recently decided I had enough to group some of my hubs into groups and have noticed that those in the groups seem to be benefiting from it.
It's hard not to focus on them when you are new to the site. I hope that in a year or so I won't be quite as obsessed with them.
I think that is why we get so many requests to view hubs or questions about numbers though is because the new hubber is really, really obsessing over those numbers. They want to do well and that to them is an indication of how well they are doing on the site. This is especially true when they aren't seeing the pennies adding up yet.
I TRY to ignore it. Not always successfully, but I try. When I stop paying attention, the hubscores go up. When I start obsessing about them, they drop. There's a weird little hunk of Murphy's Law wired into the things, I'm certain!
this does seem to be true. I don't look obsessively at hubscores as they do fluctuate, but I do check a few times a day. it's a global audience so part of the world is sleeping when we are awake. my Paris hubs do much better while I'm sleeping and on weekends. it is interesting at times to see what is being searched.
in that aspect, I think it is helpful to check in and see any patterns and use that to our writing advantage.
The only numbers I care about are my earnings in AdSense, Amazon and Ebay
My average hubscore is 70, I don't worry about it.
I have quite a few 70's and wished they were higher, tho I think are as good as they can be really so I try to not let it bother me. You saying your average is around 70 is nice to hear, thanks!
hi to all, i just write and write, and participate at forums, great way to share ideas and have lots of friends too, and seldom checks on my earnings, because I am still new, I need to put amazon also in my hubs soon.
I dont mind my score at all, sometimes it goes down three notches and sometimes up and I am like a child, happy when that happens, it is more important for me to interact with hubbers, i learn a lot from them.
I wish my 70's would climb a bit higher, I believe if they are in the low 70's they have a no follow (trying to remember what Relache said about this).
They are no follow lower than 50, your hubscore must be above 75...
I don't focus on any of them. I know though that the people who make real money here do. I just don't find that end of it very interesting. I always feel like I should understand it more, worry about it more, but I pretty muc ignore my stats. I had enough of stats at my last two corporate jobs to last me the rest of my life.

Think of this.People say, content is the king in Hubs (or anywhere where you write articles and aim to get Adsense revenue).If I write a good article containing rich info on the subject, people will read it, get the info they wanted, appreciate it and go away.But if I write a "keyword"...

The chart above (made easily with Excel: check the tools menu / analysis) gives the distribution of daily earnings. Most of days daily earnings is about 0.45.As you can see, it doesn't follow the famous Normal Law in probability ... which is normal : normal law is not obligatory in the real world

I have diligently watch my adsense and analytics charts and graphs for over a month now, trying to get a clue that I was doing something right. Today I actually found I made money in June - my first real month of effort. A whole $.02! I hadn't realized I could make money...

I have noticed that upon removing Kontera from my hubs that my AdSense earnings went up. Kontera seemed pretty useless even when I was earning with it because the click were not really all that profitable. One AdSense click seems to be worth more than a Kontera click even when it's like one of the...

Hi Fellow Hubbers!I have done a bit of (unscientific) averaging of AdSense income on HubPages.com, and calculated an earnings rule for Hubs:On average, any given hub will earn about $10.00 per year.My page showing my sources is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hubbers-Reveal- … s-EarningsDoes this...

Am I losing money from my writing here on Hubpages?Although my hubs have been badly hit by another Panda or a Penguin update and the earnings from my Hubs are at their lowest in a few years, I cannot say in all honesty that I am losing any money what so ever.I may be earning less now than I have in...
