Welcome to Hub PAges.
I'd suggest that you ignore the numbers for a while.
Don't even look at them for a couple of weeks.
As you participate in hub pages by writing good hubs, participating in the forums, etc. your rankings will increase.
Trying to compare yourself to someone else who just started, and trying to second guess why the numbers are different is a waste of time. (Unless don't really have anything more interesting to yack about)
Cheers, Eric G.
