I keep seeing counts that indicate I'm looking at my own hubs every day...this is not the case. I also am seeing that nobody on hub pages is reading my work...which is not the norm. Anybody else having this problem?
How do you know it's "your" views and not "other Hubpages" views?
I know because that's how they list it! Views from me are listed under Timetraveler2, hub views are listed under hub pages.
That just means the visitors came through your subdomain, not that they are you.
Correct. It just means they clicked a link anywhere else on your subdomain, leading to somewhere on your subdomain. Or visited your profile and clicked a link. Or saw a link at the bottom of your hub of other hubs in that group.
I interlink all my hubs, so get lots of wrylilt.hubpages.com traffic.
Yup, people clicked your profile, clicked a hub and it got registered as views from you. Assuming you are logged into HB, it will not register your own views.
It does register your own views, signed in or not.
Timetravelker, if I recall, you told me that our own viewes ARE registered.
divajz: that is correct...but I was referring to the fact that they show up as views on the stats page. I am talking about the traffic sources pages, which I assumed were more specific. Apparently I was wrong about that...I thought those showed up whenever I went into my own hubs to edit, etc.
I do check Google Analytics but frankly never have quite understood all of it. Too busy living life to spend all of my time trying to analyze how my work is doing, especially when Google keeps slamming me!

Ever since the switch to subdomains, I have seen specific subdomain names listed on the traffic stats for individual Hubs; and on the Traffic Sources Page, the numbers for HubPages have seemed to decline (understandably). Recently, I have seen higher numbers for HubPages.com, and I don't...

Hi, I have noticed that for a few days now, while the traffic stats are updating, our traffic sources are not. Has anyone else noticed this too?

What are 3 of your top reporting traffic sources? Mine are Google, Yahoo and HubPages!Perhaps through this thread we can all discover new and exciting places to generate more traffic to our hubs!

I have been posting links to my hubs on Quora for a few weeks now. Although my post has "views" on quora, I can't see Quora listed under "Traffic sources" in my Hubpages stats. Any idea, why this would happen? Thanks for time.

I'm sorry if this has been answered; I'm having trouble searching the forums and I already read the FAQ.I noticed that on my traffic sources I have a lot of hits from Bing and Yahoo, but none from Google. This seems bizarre to me, as all of my other sites get three times as much traffic from Google...

When you click on "View Stats" for a hub, you'll see the message "Top Traffic Sources - (not all views have a discernable source)"Why exactly is this? Don't most analytics programs show the source? Also, why doesn't it ever show direct traffic (like people just...
