Because they count your views, meaning that you have clioked on or refreshed (or even just pressed 'save unpublished' or 'preview') on your own hub. If you visit your hub right now, you add a page view.
really?
I have had unpublshed hubs, becuase my computer crashed while typing
came back the next day..it had like 3 views..I never even turned on my computer...
I just figured it was a mistake...
AND once published, Ive checked my hub like a million times to see if I have any comments (im kinda insecure)and the stats dont change?
this is all way over my head I guess..
Its because the stats are not 'real time'.... they update every so often. Not sure if it is every 30 mins, or 60 mins or something.
well, I get the not real time thingy..
but if its unpublished, who is looking at it?
Yeah thats right. If you look at a hub ten times, check your stats right after, it will still say no '0'. Go back to it a few hours later and it will probably say '10'. The views include each time you refresh, or press 'save unpublished' etc etc..... soon adds up.
OH!!!!!! Sorry to be so slow...I get it. HAHAHAHAH. Thanks...
no wait. Here is what happend to me, I still dont get it. I wrote a hub. My computer crashed. No way did I look at it.Like, my computer couldnt even turn on... Next day, I went to edit, and it had 3 page views?
oh I get it - so it you culd actually give yorself 1000 page views LOL
If you had the time, yes...lol but don't do that Google will know you are cheating the system.
But like Ryan said the views on unpublished hubs are your own views. Sometimes they go up if you have to keep returning to them to edit. It use to annoy me so now I just dont start a hub until I finish writing it.

Do you get pages views on your stats when your hub isn't published yet? Where do they come from?
by Sally Gulbrandsen 9 years ago
I know that our own views are counted on the stats page but I have not opened this hub to edit it today and yet I can see that I have had four visits!

How does my unpublished hub have 2 page views?I'm freaking out! I'm not ready to publish it, I need to edit, and I'm not even 100% sure I want to make it a hub! Who looked at it?

I know there have been a lot of changes and I really appreciate that. I also am looking forward to the new hub layout...but...with disappointment.In any business, one must first make their assessment about what works and what doesn't. The things that don't work, you either fix them or get rid of...

I was writing a hub. I left for a while to do somethig. I saved my unfinished hub. Now I could not find it. Help!
by Faith Reaper 11 years ago
How can a hub I have not published have a higher score than ones I have published?I just noticed this, and thought it was kind of funny, so does it have to do with the amount of words used, as there are a lot in this unpublished hub, and I may have to break it down into more than one hub. ...
