Flippin Eck! My hub stats have gone through the roof!

   Susana Sposted 15 years ago

   Wow! Something amazing has happened over night! Nearly all my hubs have red up arrows next to them. Ones that were getting 200 views a day have gone up to 700 views. My normal range of page views in a day for all my hubs is around 800, now the figure is 2,400!
   
   I'm very happy about this but is it a glitch ?
   
   Anyone else had this happen before?
   
   I did spend some time recently cross linking my hubs through anchor text links, could this be why?

         I see on your thread you've put it down to the hubchallenge but i haven't done that, in fact i haven't written a hub for a couple of months (though i have done a bit of tweaking). It's weird, but good!
         
         I wonder if it's a global HP thing?

   Yeah, I noticed this about 10min ago too, all of a sudden I got alot of views, well more than usual anyway over a really short period of time.

   Sorry to bring you guys down but I think its a glitch. My stats are showing a massive increase in traffic coming through links from my other sites, which haven't had an increase themselves and still have the links in the same places; I don't see how that's possible so Im assuming the stats must be wrong.

   I wasn't getting any up dates all day.  I imagine the server just recorded all of the incoming traffic all at once, adding a day's worth of traffic on top of what you already had for 24 hours.

    Must be a system glitch. My Google Analytics shows no spike in number of visits and my HP stats also shows double the number of views. Wouldn't it be great if they were true.

    Mine more than tripled.  I had 21 with double arrows and I didn't even count the single red arrows.  It was sure nice to see.  I wish I could see that everyday!  But, like everyone else, I checked Google Analytics and Adsense and no such spike.

    My stats haven't increased but my profile was gone and my forum posts were stuck under the "YOUR" tab and still are.  My profile however is back but my hubtivity is back, guess they are finally up to the T's in working through things.  Wish I could have seen those huge stats - even if just for a moment.

    Some extra pageviews were counted for several hours last night as we switched back to the master from the backup database.  It's fairly difficult to roll those back, so you'll just see extra traffic in your stats for that period.  Processing appears to be back on track, so you should see a decline in your day views back to "normal" levels this evening (as the inflated hours start to drop off).

    Hmm-- I was wondering if it was a glitch, too, as my total views have gone up about 400%. Lots of red arrows lots of double red..
    
    I suppose  that should mean higher earnings. Time will tell.
