Hey guys and gals,
In the last two days, my Hub traffic has really picked up. I would guess about 40%.

I don't know if I've been Stumbled or what, as the traffic seems to be a general across the board increase.
Anyone else having this phenomenom happen to them? I'm excited. I hope it doesn't end.

Being on the featured hubbers section of the front page when folks who aren't logged in go to hubpages.com helps a bunch!

Mine spiked upward also, though I'm not exactly sure why.

There was a glitch yesterday involving the back button on IE browsers that caused people's traffic numbers on HubPages reporting to be inflated.  Google analytics will give you a more realistic picture of your real numbers yesterday.

gamergirl, I'm sure that helps.
Maddie, ahh, you deflated my happy balloon.    But thanks for the info. That explains a lot.

Yeah way to kill my buzz. 

I am having the best week of my life on hubpages.   I have over 500 page views in last 24 hours. 1,800 page views in the last 7 days, over 4,000 this month.  How much of that back button and me editing the piece should I attribute to this? 

Follow-up Q: Is this any good?  Not making much money, that's for sure and didn't know how to measure this info.

i too saw a high jump in my traffic from hubpages (nearly 35%) but it is sad to know that its all due to some software error..

No change from where I'm sat!

My visitor stats have been pretty stable for a while now so if it's something that you've done to boost your visitor numbers...share the love!

I have been seeing a small, gradual increase in visitors for a while. Nothing dramatic but never the less an increase.

Cool, DJ. Sure, some of that is because of the tech bug, but did you know that you have a hub on the hottest Hubs page? (Your Hottest Hottie Videos). This may be at least partially responsible for your traffic jump. So, all is not lost...

I find it soooo hilarious that i can spend hours and hours on HUBs that I pour my heart into and the hottest hotties video has now got me all this attention.   Oh well, Just be grateful.

I WOULD FURTHER LIKE TO discuss THE POINT OF HOW DO I GAUGE THIS SUCCESS?
Does anyone out there have any documentation on this?

I'm making very little from HubPages through AdSense but, in many respects, it does not worry me. The feelgood factor in writing a good hub is immense and I've had superb support from fellow hubber and hubpages staff.

Beside which, the state of the USD means even less income for people in the GBP/Euro zones. Anyway, money is not everything!
