Has anyone noticed this? The past months have always been stable. Last month dropped, and this month is awful. I know I haven't been here much, but goodness...
I guess i need to start hubbing again to try to make up for something, but is it worth it? If everyone is seeing such a drastic drop... I just don't know anymore. I have other eggs in my basket, which is where I've been, so I just don't know....
Whitney, I was absent from HP for quite a while, and I saw my earnings drop a lot. I recently started taking time to at least tweak a few Hubs I had written, and finished one I had been working on. I really haven't written a lot of new content, just editing and that sort of thing, and my earnings have gone up a bit from where they had been. I am still not near where I was about 2 years ago, but it's slowly getting there.
Whitney, you'll find (as always) that there are those who will report they are having the same experience you are having, while others will report they are having the opposite.

Google Has a New Algorithm
I also really strongly recommend you read over the HubPages blog to get a rundown of all the changes that have happened to the site structure and function while your attention has been elsewhere. A lot of those alterations have probably had a significant impact on your Hubs.

Last night I couldn't answer somebody's comment on one of my hubs. I tried a few times, and my answer kept disappearing. This morning I added a new comments capsule, and deleted the old one, but now I lost several comments people made (I knew that would probably happen). Now I tried to comment on...

I am experiencing an overall average off 66 percent less page views per day, for seven days versus a week previous and for the past two months. Such a huge drop in page views makes me think that Google has tuned up something again. I do know that I don't have the time and energy to keep...

Big drop of traffic from google I've just analysed my hubs and apotted a big drop of traffic. On the 25th of June I had 250 viewers. The next day I had 107 viewers and since that day it was dropping until nearly 50 viewers. I didn't loose significantly any positions so what's going on?...

Whats up with my 70% drop in pageviews over the last few weeks? Mostly hubbers are missing.Over the last couple of weeks I have experienced a 70% drop in pageviews. Most of the loss was from fellow hubbers not viewing...am I not showering enough? Bad breath? Offensive...

I just returned to the site to find that 6 of my hubs have been unpublished. Not happy.
