   I almost missed the medal, too!  Good thing I logged into my profile before it went away from my hubtivity first page!  Would have been typical Elena to miss this

      Bristol, I heard LondonGirl say the same thing after she hit 10K --that views pick up faster once you go over that milestone.  Funny that!  Will see how it goes for me.

    I came back to this thread to confirm what my fellow hubbers who reached 10K views before me stated: 
    
    Views seem to pick up speed after one surpasses the 10K mark. In 8 days I'm over 11K.  I'm not sure what's the rate of other "over 10K" hubbers but for me >1K views in 8 days is more than average for sure.
    
    Why do you think this happens? Maybe Google indexes you higher?  Any which way, it's true what they say, after 10K traffic seems to increase at a greater speed.
