Why do my stats show a negative number of page views
This morning my stats hit an all time low for page views in the last 24 hours. When I checked the stats for traffic sources to see what was going on I saw minus 3 next to google.com and minus 1 next to my own domain name. How can that be? And what is going on with google lately anyway - page views have dropped dramatically over the last few weeks? Things were going well before that, but now I feel like I'm going backwards.
I believe the - or negative symbol is the indication of your own views. It means you yourself viewed those times.

I have been seeing this for a couple of days. I checked the number of page views at some hour. It was 101. After an hour later, I again checked (probably I am a crazy person looking at hubs every hour), it decreased to 92 ? What is happening?

Haven't been able to find the answer to my questions in the FAQ and suspect that someone here knows.Regarding Page Views:1. How is "day" defined? Does it begin at midnight Pacific Time through, say, 11:59 PM the following day? 2. When I click "My Account" to see my page views,...

Ok so to keep this short, approx 25% of my page views are giving a page impression IE an AD showing which gives the chance to be clicked on. This seems low, and has been about 25% for the last 2 months.Any ideas on how I can increase my Page Impressions per page view ratio would be great.Thank you...
