      There is no need to post to the forums when stats are delayed.
      We are aware of the delays and even provide a message to that effect on the stats page.
      Here is the message for reference.
      "We strive to keep your Hub statistics as up to date as possible and the recency of our statistics are closely monitored. If you notice that your stats haven't been updated in a while, rest assured that we are aware of the issue. You can expect that things will return to normal within a day or so."

   Yeah, they used to update when you hit refresh, but that changed a while back. Don't know why.
   Also this new look when you reply to someone is a bit ugly.

      I know, but those stats are never the same as HP's numbers and it's HP's numbers that the Ad Program is based upon.  My analytics always shows much higher visitor numbers than HP.

    They break each weekend practically, and HP offers no reason as to why they break.
    
    I don't want to be referred to Google Analytics, mostly because they don't break it down as easily as HP does.
    
    They need to either fix the statistics, or remove them.  Instead of just ignoring the issue week after week... after week.

          What works for me is analytics. As most of the more savvy members have already pointed out, this is the definitive resource.
          
          The on-site stats are nice for casual users. I imagine elderly ladies from the places like Little Rock and Bournemouth also appreciate their simplicity.

             Yeah, but Analytics isn't the one paying the pennies. The one responsible for the money should be responsible for letting you see your stats. I like to keep track of my views vs my payments. Somehow that works better for e than Analytics alone.
             
             I think is very irresponsible that we lost a full day of not knowing where our stats were. How does HP calculate yesterday's earnings with the stats being updated? How do I know that my earnings are accurate?

    I may be wrong about this, but I don't think that Google Analytics will show stats for Editor's Choice hubs. I have my GA account set up using my profile page as the default URL, and the URLs for Editor's Choice hubs hubs are not based on the profile. So, assuming that's the case, the GA stats won't be complete. Unless there's another way to set up GA for a HubPages account?

       You're not wrong.  Google analytics will only track URLs on your subdomain.  Although EC Hubs show on your Profile page, the URLs for them are not on your subdomain.

                Apart from brianlokker (who is sensibly tentative) who are you relying on?
                
                Sounds like the usual smokescreen to cover the embarrassment of being an expert who never quite gets it right.
                
                Also, of course, to imagine that knowing the traffic for a day can tell you how much you have earned is silly. CPM's vary from day to day, sometimes sharply.

       OK, so after checking it out a little more, I see that I was wrong about the EC hubs. HubPages includes GA tracking code for both your subdomain and the primary domain, so the EC hubs are being tracked in your GA account.
       
       But I still agree with the main point of this thread that the HP stats should update more frequently and consistently.
