Well, folks. The last month of the year is upon us. What will December bring? Predictions? Planned projects? This rambling thread is not restricted to any particular topic.
I predict...
Our improved hub traffic will continue.
We will all still be around on the 22nd.
We will all be nicer to each other than usual.
Traffic to HubPages did fall slightly from the large rise we had a few days ago, however it only dropped a very tiny amount, I guess that tiny amount was the holiday traffic, the rest of it is true traffic.
I've got simultaneous traffic from 4 continents at the moment. Now if just Australia and Russia would drop by...
I see that Christmas falls on a Tuesday this year. You heard it here first...
Yes....the final month of another year......I think it brings us much opportunity. A time to reflect...a time to be grateful, time to repair and or simply remember and a time to plan. We must not forget to be in the moment of each day, as well, so we're able to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of December and all it brings us via the Holidays....
A feel good-link...

May we all save a few bucks... And only buy quality.
I hope HP is breaking out the reserve hamsters...

No doubt, we will still be around December 23rd and traffic will remain high until January, where I expect dip coming after the holidays. Things will go on as always, until the next disaster, when we begin to rethink our lives and our blessings.

Over the last 3 days my earnings went down 80% - what's going on? This happened once before. Anyone else's earning dropping dramatically over the last 3 days?

Have you noticed a sudden decrease in traffic? For the last three days, my hubs are receiving very little traffic. What about you?

Hi friends,I have been experiencing approximately 40% decrease in traffic since last two days. Has anyone else been experiencing the same thing or it is because of the holiday season and there are less visitors to everyone's hubs?
by ThoughtfulSpot 15 years ago
Anyone have any idea how this can happen? I just looked at my traffic sources, and from one of them (its actually a forum) I have -10 for today? How in the world does one get negative traffic? Did 10 people attempt to view my hubs and get sucked into a vortex?I know traffic is...

I am presuming I know the answer to this question, but really just want clarification. My traffic, although not high by any means, has dropped significantly over the last week. I presume it is due to Christmas closing in on us rapidly, but wondered if others were suffering the same...

So I take it December is a bad month for traffic. I have had recent success with hubpages and adsense over the last couple of months, but this month my page views have gone down quite a bit.
