When I look at my traffic sources, one line say hubpages.com and another has my name then hubpages.com. Can someone explain how these are different? Thanks.
I think the one that's just hubpages.com is from people who click on the links when browsing the hub categories. If it has your name before the hubpages.com, those are views from people who clicked on links to your hubs on your profile page, a link you put in one of your other hubs, or the "next" and "previous" links if you have your hubs in groups. Occasionally, you'll get a source with someone else's name before the hubpages.com and those are from links to your hubs that person has put within their hub.
Those can also be from the list of 'Related Hubs' at the bottom of a Hub.
Your Vintage Booth Antiques Mall hub will not have your name in the URL line because it was chosen as Hub of the Day. Your Delectable Collectible hub has another accolade which we can't see but you can - possible it is Editor's Choice.
Any of your other hubs if they were chosen as Editor's Choice or other accolade, your name is removed from the URL and it will just show as hubpages.com.
You will still get income and view counts from the hub, but it moves into a different niche in the Hubpages hub lineup in the different categories (topics).

I have been on hubpages for two months. I have read multiple articles on SEO and backlinking. Ninety percent of my hubs do not have backlinking. But I choose for a while to say no backlinking. It was "different" I thought and "original". ...

Is there a way to get rid of unwanted traffic sites that attach a link to our hubs without our knowledge? I try to individually monitor my hubs for suspicious traffic and have written two letters to the offender who has sent me 8 visits on one hub this week. Now HubPages has marked my hub with a...

I have just noticed today that many of my hubs where I reference other author's hubs and included a link to their profile, the URL has been shortened to just "hubpages.com" - thereby removing the actual link to the author. I have no idea how long this has been happening, but I am going...

Earlier I posted that people should go and make links going to other sites that do not belong to you nofollow. Then someone mentioned that if your hubber score is less than 85 then "every link" will be nofollow. But this is not what HubPages says. HubPages says:"If your HubberScore...

Now, not before, when you place a link, you have a choice to click rel=nofollow so that search engines ignore it. So in future hubs that you write or if you want to go back and edit, do not check this box for links to your own hubs. Also do not do this for links where you want to help the site. But...

I spent some time searching and couldn't find the answer so...Does including a referral tracker destroy the value of the backlink? If so, is using a referral tracker for the interlinking between your hubs greater than the value the backlink will provide?
