I am noticing traffic on my hubs that wasn't occurring on Squidoo. The reporting here is better in my opinion. Anyway, I want to know about the little red triangles.
It says the red triangle is for improved traffic. So, when a page has one.....or two what is the difference? I have a few with 2 triangles and others with 1.
Gotta love those little triangles... I got my first double red triangle today too... so so interested in this one
It's calculated on percentages so hubs with very little traffic get many more up and down arrows than hubs that get lots.
E.g a hub that usually gets 5 hits per day suddenly gets 10 and that's a 100% increase - you'll get one red arrow. If that same hub gets 15 hits then that's a 200% increase and it'll show 2 red arrows.
Thank you. Also I notice you guys call them arrows not triangles. Oh well, at least now I know why some have 2 instead of 1
One triangle means your traffic is increasing. Two triangles means it's increasing by quite a bit.
The first time I saw the red arrows, I figured it was some violation. Was happy to see it wasn't. The next day, though, went in and had a lot of those double red arrows. Still gave me a little start. You'll notice tomorrow and the next day, you'll have quite a few more.
Did they just add that to the legend? I looked for it there earlier and didn't see it.
I was wondering that myself...however I was wondering about my blue one. Egh.

It is my first time to have seen lots of red upward triangles to indicate good traffic on my hubs. Thank you Hubpages and Google.

I thought I understood the little blue and red triangles. But not so sure.Of my 36 hubs I currently have four with the nasty blue triangles alerting me that traffic is falling. Three of these show some activity today. But the other 32 hubs have no triangles at all. So what's that...

I was checking my account stats where I saw 2 high traffic signs on a single article, I mean 2 red arrows heading up, what does it mean? Is it a glitch or it means something different?

I am a complete newb to HP and when checking my stats today saw a little blue triangle next to one of my hubs, so I see this means traffic has dropped, but can i get penalised for it? Or will the hub stop being featured?Im just unsure what it means?thanks

Feeling random as on a concoction of pain killers so hanging out in forums instead of doing any proper work.I love watching the blue triangle, red triangle dance. Everything that was red triangle yesterday, is blue triangle today. And everything that was blue, is red. And tomorrow they will switch...
