Ok, So as I was looking at the stats for my hub I saw how some views had come from HubPages, facebook and twitter. No surprises here as I have been advertising them on these sites.
However, I then noticed I had some views from a site called iconfactory or something.
Does this mean someone has posted a link to my hub on that site? If so that's great.
There might be a link. Do you have analytics? If so, it will tell you and you can also get to the page where your views originated from. If not, try heading over to iconfactory and see if you can tell where your traffic is coming from, like from a forum post etc.
There are quite a few Hubs that offer advice and places to generate traffic to your own Hubs. Just use the search bar up at the top right there,
loadsssss of tips and info.
Welcome to HubPages!
they prob gave you a newslink, you can tell which hub the traffic is from, right?
search the title w/ iconfactory and youll prob find it, assuming you dont have analytics installed
Go ahead and install analytics now, it takes 10 minutes, youll see where the traffic is from the next visitors

Looking down my list of traffic sources I have two search sites (avg and comcast) that each say "-1" views over the last 24 hours. What in the world does that mean? I assumed it's a stats glitch or something. Otherwise my traffic looks normal for a Tuesday. Is this anything I...

Hi, I have noticed that for a few days now, while the traffic stats are updating, our traffic sources are not. Has anyone else noticed this too?

I've just been looking at the Traffic Source data on my main account. (You can find it here http://hubpages.com/my/hubs/traffic-sources )I find it very surprising - because it contradicts traffic data I have from other sources and other sites which are feeding traffic to HubPages - and which have...

Ever since the switch to subdomains, I have seen specific subdomain names listed on the traffic stats for individual Hubs; and on the Traffic Sources Page, the numbers for HubPages have seemed to decline (understandably). Recently, I have seen higher numbers for HubPages.com, and I don't...
