They really disturb me.
Do they disturb anyone else or am I alone here?
How can I get more clicks on those pages?
I probably posted this in the wrong spot, but hey, I like it here
I hate them to. Do more of whatever you're doing on the red arrow ones. j/k
I wish it were that simple. Traffic will fluctuate.
I've found the red and blue arrows useful for at-a-glance determination of when certain Hubs have peak traffic periods, but overall, they will happen whether you do anything or not.
So if you dig fretting about it, enjoy. If you'd rather not worry, all you have to do is stop worrying.
so relax is what I can do? but they are so ugly , takes deep breath and exahales, relaxing
I agree. They seem to come and go, ebb and flow. The same hub can have both red and blue arrows in just a matter of days.
If you really want to get worked up about it, it's really the ones with NO arrows that should bother you. At least the ones with blue arrows had something to come down from. The ones with no arrows are stagnant. LOL
And blue is one of fav colors...don't like it much now just kidding
Gee had red arrows now have no arrows. Not even one arrow should I be worried. Even a blue arrow is better then none. Where have my arrows gone..
Arrows, smarrows, they go up and down depending on the time of day, the wind,the tide all affect em!
Then they go red or double red and you wonder what the hell you did! Usually it is nothing. I'm over the blue arrows!
No arrows are better then blue ones... gee thought I done something wrong for a minute to have no arrows.
Like one or two others have already said - don't sweat it. The arrows go up and down like a whore's drawers.
And you'll probably earn more from your arrow fluctuations than a ... you know
And Kiwi Gal? I really like your avatar!
They remind me of the Spinning Wheel song - "What goes up, must come down; Spinning wheel got to go round..."
So catch a painted pony, my children and enjoy the ride...

To me, it would seem that every article should have a blue or red arrow. I mean, isn't an article's traffic always in constant flux of either increasing or decreasing? Generally, I only see a small amount of arrows across all my hubs. Maybe I'm missunderstanding how they actually work...

I just noticed a blue arrow next to a hub I published this week. It's in the list of my hubs under my account page. What does it mean? It isn't the hub with the most views, unless it's a hub with the most views in the shortest amount of time, I do not know.
