Has anyone noticed a similar trend? Traffic to the majority of my articles is unusually low.
This happened to a lot of us last week but was a glitch on the part of HP which has been corrected. I haven't seen it this time...yet.
I suggest using Google Analytics to compare the current month or last 30 days to the same period a year ago.
In my case, the numbers are down 16% year over year despite new articles.
I am pretty happy with the trends, some blue arrows but mostly red arrows.
No problems here. In fact, I've seen an increase in traffic over the last 7 days.
The blue arrows do have a nice hue, kind of classes the page up.
I was on a high till Thursday. Currently, around 20 percent down.
You are right. I'm surprised the non-dips during the Fridays and weekends lasted as long as they did.
Only recent update info I can see is this: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/goo … 075/#close

"Google announced an update to Reviews Rich Results. The goal is to improve the Reviews Rich Results for users and to
“address” abusive implementation and impose limits to where rich results trigger. Additionally,the “name” property
becomes required."
May or may be relevant, though I remember that HP has had problems with review stuff in the past.

As per subject title. This is insane. Sometimes I don't even know why I bother on HubPages anymore. Nothing I do seems to work for more than a week. Not the easiest time at a personal level either. Still, I have a goal to meet, in terms of hubs. After that, however, who knows?

I find myself fairly intelligent but when it comes to SEO and the mechanics of traffic driving - the whole darned process leaves me utterly frustrated and feeling ignorant. I've read many different articles here and there but all the jargon and terminology throws me for a loop. ...

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.

I am getting 14 down blue arrows for my 33 hubs. What about you?
