How is it possible to have views on your hub before you even published it? Has anybody else experienced this? I mean, then all the views are, perhaps, wrong??
Hiya Marlene, Yes these are views of yours during editing/creation mode.
HP usually catches up and clears them out...

Since when does HP clear them out? Every view is a view, which is why Analytics is better for tracking traffic.
I noticed it a while back, when the account page stats are refreshed.
Right. Explains why traffic volumes waffle daily and often do not match up with analytics or even in-hub-stats. BigG counts any landing to the link -editor mode or not- as a view, as do account-view stats. As soon as the page is created, the tracking codes for them, Yieldbuild {HP} and Quantserve become active.
James.
Yes, indeed-e. Some do not know that. It is especially tough for those on a wireless or floating IP [ipad/tablet, wi-fi, apple airport]. But, I do not edit using iPad, never seems to work right. lol.

I started filling in the 'read terms and conditions' boxes and clicked submit, when it asked me to provide my phone number to give the verification code. I didn't want to do this, so decided not to bother signing up to the programme and left the...

I haven't paid a lot of attention to Analytics on HubPages because I'm just too new here - not enough page views and not enough elapsed time. I do use Analytics extensively at my much older and much higher traffic main site.My attention was attracted to a burst of activity in the last week at...

Has there been another update from Google? I ask since my views have been dropping rapidly every hour since the past 6 hours. Surprisingly the total views in the stats has remained stationary since the same time.Stats on analytics do not show any abnormal drop in visitors or views.Are other hubbers...

Do you ever let your Hubs sit unpublished for a day or two before publishing them?
