The last 2 weeks I have had a HUGE drop in traffic..... anyone else have the same?
Seems most of the drop is from google.
I do not have much traffic, but the traffic I do get is seemingly directly attributable to the work I put in here on Hub pages.
So it is starting to look like the new Google metrics for content are rewarding new and/or new and improved writing.
Looks like only 7 of your hubs are featured.
Also your hubber score is at 1 so there must be some issue with your account.
Plus there has been a panda update in the last few weeks.
I have had that too. After they unpublished my last hub I unpublished all but 10. There are a few of those 10 that are linked to other articles elsewhere. I have noticed not so good things coming about of HP and their staff and finally said to heck with it all. I have over 300 hubs. I may put them elsewhere or try to salvage some and re-publish them. My hubscore, in just one day, went from 86 to 77, to 72 and then back up to 87. Now it is at 77 for the last 2 days. Not enough stability here. Moderators are not consistent. This place has been chaotic since it was bought out.
Funny thing, one of my earlier Hubs - written last year - has attracted a lot of attention lately, the one about Ragnar 'Lothbrok' Sigurdsson, 'booting up' the visitor figures on its own by about 200 in the last month alone.
The model railway pages have been doing well of late, too, but figures on 'The Saga of Hunding Hrothulfsson' have been languishing in the '0's.
I know PRECISELY why most everyone's traffic and earnings began to drop on March 15, 2013. The culprits were and are Panda and Penguin. Read http://copywriter31.hubpages.com/hub/Qu … -and-Myths for the answer!
You are welcome, Neil. The new algorithms hit hard on that day . . . I lost close to 60% of my average page views, but that is now beginning to come back.
Hey - interesting to note -- BING hits have increased

My CTR at Hubpages has been taking a nosedive, about half from normal. I decided to not panic, figuring Hubpages was just experimenting with ad placements or something similar.However, it's been a month now, and still my click-thrus are way below my normal rate. I thought maybe it was because of...

Back in November I wrote a novel has part of NaNoWriMo. Is there anyone else in the same boat? If so, what do you plan on doing with your unpublished novel?Also I am possibly interested in either Beta readers or novel swaps and thought that the HubPages community could be possibly a good place to...

I have checked with three hubber friends. All four of us have had a reported drop in traffic of significant amount. I am talking about 30 - 35% drop over night.Is this just another temporary glitch in the Hub Page system, as has happened before, or something else. Adsense data seems to show...

Has anyone else had a problem with Renpure hair products and hair loss?I started using Renpure Moroccan Spring Water Shampoo and noticed a drastic change in my scalp and hair. My scalp was irritated and itchy (no dandruff though) and my hair would come out in huge clumps in the shower - I'm talking...
