Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows where unidentified traffic actually comes from. I have found that my my earning literally doubled in the last 48hours but am unable to find where where my traffic/earnings are coming from because neither hubpages or analytics can trace its source. just though someone may have an idea.
I believe you must have checked the 'traffic sources' under 'my account'. It's the only accurate report HP offers I think.
Yeah... if it doesn't show up in our traffic sources report or in Google Analytics, I'm not sure what to tell you, but congrats on the increase!
yea, I just though that maybe there warer known sources that HP doesn't recognise. The only thing I did differently was submit my page to social discovery sites like stumble upon.
It should show up in some form on google analytics, even if it's as "direct traffic" with no identifiable source. If you saw an unusual increase in direct traffic, it could mean that someone has emailed your articles to a mailing list or other group, and people are clicking on the link directly.

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 was noticing that the traffic source reports include Twitter and Tweet Grid, but not Tweet Deck. I normally use Tweet Deck, because it is much more user-friendly, and auto-refreshes (unlike Twitter home). Also, as with Tweet Grid, anything posted there does feed over...

This drop in traffic seems to have affected the majority of us who transitioned here from Squidoo. After we updated our articles are traffic virtually stopped dead. The question is why? Was our redirect from Squidoo killed with the update? What the heck happened? Please try to figure out why the...
