Is anyone else experiencing a surge in search engine traffic lately?
My numbers have increased 5x and is still rising. Perhaps, it is because school is back in session or maybe its because my Hubs age are increasing and placing better in Google.
I have noticed a significant surge with no explainable reason except as you described above. However, "hope springs eternal." Maybe we are just being "discovered."
I noticed a large drop in traffic at the start of September...now I am noticing things "leveling out again". I'm not sure what the story behind it is but as long as the traffic stays consistent from one month to the next (although rising would be SOOOO much nicer) I'm ok.
Talk to me the beg. of October when my stats drop again....then back up around mid October. The cycle is never ending.......

My traffic is definitely up but probably by 25%. I'm also getting more weekend traffic than I used to.
I do have an increase in traffic from mostly Yahoo and Bing, also a few others like Dogpile, Aol, Msn from which I have never seen traffic from. Google has sent me the same amount of traffic as always, while everyone else seems to have discovered something they like.
I have seen an increase in traffic from Google. Don't know why but glad
Nope. Mine is dropping but I only have few hubs, so I guess mine is just normal.

My traffic just dropped by about 33% similar to like on weekends. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Some of my hubs that normally give me 100+ views during the week have dropped to way below 100 like on the weekend. Anyone experiencing this?

I noticed with me, I get a lot of my traffic later after 4 PM. I believe this may be because of time zones primarily, and a few other reasons. I live on the east coast so people in the west are in different time zones 1-3 hours behind..

I have just started, so I dont expect it in the near future, but how many hubs, or how many months before you start making money? How much traffic is considered to be good traffic? Right now I am getting about an average of 75 hits per day on 4 hubs. Is that good? What...

With the recent google algorithm change, i noticed that hubbers who have spent 4 - 5 years are those having their subdomain slammed by google. Why?

How much search engine traffic are you getting compared to hubpages traffic?I'm just curious. Most of my traffic comes from hubpages. I get a little from google but not too much. I was wondering what other people are experiencing and if you have any advice on how to get more google traffic?

I know it's too early too ask, but I am curious. I have published 6 hubs but haven't got a single view from search engine traffic yet. So, How much time till you see some traffic?
