Why does it show that my hub has been read even when it hasn't been published yet?
I was working on a hub when I had to stop midway through. When I go back to edit the hub, it states that it already has 4 views. I thought I was the only one who saw it until it was published.
I believe your own views are counted as a viewing, even when not published.
I'm not positive, but I think many of the views that are counted are the author's. That's the only thing that would make sense.
Your own views are counted, too. Those have to be your own views.
I agree that our own visits to a hub are counted as views!
I have a feeling that when Hubpages check out our Hubs, yes they must visit our unpublished Hubs to rate them, their views are also counted in the view counter?
It's your own visits, all of your visits to your own hubs are counted. You would have to use Google Analytics to show you how many hub views were NOT your own.
Everyone has already answered this, but I must say I find it frustrating. While working on a hub to publish, I went in and out of it 11 times and those were counted. I wish there was a way our own visits weren't counted since it doesn't really give an accurate picture of readership.

How do I get a short link for my hub after its been published?I forgot to take note of the short link when I initially published a few hubs, and now can't find where it would be noted. Are they important?

I am presently putting together an article that is not published, obviously. But, I already have a Hub Score showing for it. Any ideas how this can be? Doesn't seem fair does it?I mean how can you score an incomplete article that has not been published yet and a low score to boot? Lower than any...

Can anyone tell me how to change the URL of a hub once it has been published? I changed the title of a hub after starting it, but the web address still has the original text in it which is no longer relevant. I can't see a way of editing the URL, does anyone know?

As we all know, if a hub has not been published, we will see a sentence on the top, "this hub has not been published. Only you can see it." However, days ago, when I prepared a hub, but did not publish it, the account information showed a growing number of people who visited it. Until the...
