   How long did it take you to get to 10,000 views?
   
   It took me 4 months and 3 weeks. Just wondering if that's about average, if there is such a thing.

   This really depends on the popularity of the hub. You may reach 10,000 views if your hub is recommended as 'Hub of the Day'.

      I actually was talking about total page views for all hubs. I would think it would be pretty rare to have one hub with 10,000 views after being on hubpages less than 5 months.

   Lol. I haven't even made it to 3000 page views yet. I'd say you are doing very well. Congrats!

      Thanks harmony155. I just checked out your Genie Bra review, it's really good, do you get much traffic to it? I have one too, only I included Pajama Jeans in the same hub.

      Sherry: Thanks for reading my Genie Bra Hub! I published it less than a month ago and have gotten about 100 hits... don't know if that's good or bad since I'm fairly new to hubpages. I'm going to check out your pajama jean hub

   I would say it is quite normal as you already have 29 hubs in total. So, that means about 350 visits in each hub after more than 4 months.
   I also published few hubs recently and got almost 100 views each after first month. So, i think it is normal.

      Thanks for the input, though I notice my best performing hubs have 10x the views of the poorest performing ones.

   I made it to 10,000 views in 20 months and have over 11,500 in my 21st month.  My views are increasing at a more rapid rate when I reached this level.  I also have written 100 hubs.

      That's great news Dennis. Congratuations. I notice even now, that it seems to be picking up speed, and more than half of my traffic is from Google now rather than HubPages as it used to be.

   I have no idea, sine I rarely followed the stats for the first couple of years. After I started checking, it seems that they  multiplied.
   I would say that your  stats are quite good-- which is no surprise-- your hubs are quite good.
   Be patient and keep up the good work. I think you will be very successful.
   P.S-- don't stress about 'averages'.

      Thanks Rochelle, I seem to be fascinated with the numbers. Wondering what makes them go up and down, and analyzing what happens if I do this or that. I probably would do better to follow your example.

      It's encouraging that you made it with just 7 hubs. It looks like HubPages is not your main online endeavor.

    I don't know how much money you guys are forking out for advertising, but I've been using HubPages for over 17 months and still only have a total of 1,744 views.

       You don't have a lot of hubs Daffit, I liked the one on fad dieting though. I probably have more than 1700 views from my facebook friends, they were my first traffic source. Thanks for responding.

       Thank you for your response, and for checking out my hub on Fad Diets. Speaking of food, another one of my hubs I especially like is the one called "An Outdoor Weekend With The Guys". It's a review of a little cafe we like. Guess I do need more hubs.

    I joined HubPages about 9 months ago but only became active in the past four or five. I am near the 3,500 mark. I have started linking some of my Hubs to my Facebook page. I was not a big Facebook user, so I do not know if that will boost the numbers. I have between 70 and 80 followers. I do not go looking for followers and I do not follow everyone that follows me. One person wrote mostly recipes. They may be good recipes, but that is not my interest.
