A wonderful and wierd thing has happened to one of my hubs.

   A hub I posted eleven (yes, ELEVEN) years ago has suddenly been boosted into hub stratosphere.
   
   Over the years it has gathered many favorable comments, and has consistently had 1 - 3 views per day for a loooong time. Suddenly it has shot up to about two thousand views  a day for no discernable reason. NOT complaining, mind you. I wish I knew the secret to apply to other articles.
   
   This may be a short-lived phenomenon, so I will bask in the glory for a moment.
   It is second on a Google page when searching for the subject  and has a couple of  featured blurbs on the niche site.
   
   It has also gained a hubscore of 100... which I have not seen for awhile.
   
   This may be a passing fancy--- but for now it it an amazing boost.
   
   This may be a hint to others who think they have a good article that is not gathering views--- you  don't necessarily remove it.

      That is good advice to leave hubs alone other than occasional updating.  Congratulations on the sudden increase in views.  May it continue!

      Congratulations!  I've had a couple of hubs that languished for years suddenly take off for no apparent reason, but never in the thousands of views.  I'm impressed (and a little envious).  Fingers crossed that this keeps happening for you.

      It is a fun ride, but I lived near Disneyland for many years and am aware tha rides can come to a sudden end after a lot of  surprises, swerves and ups and downs. Hoping for an E ticket.

   I had an article on my blog that got shared on Reddit. It rocketed up to 60,000 views in 2 days.  Sadly then it tailed of to 20 per day. lol 
   
   I hope your new found interest has staying power! Sometimes just getting a link on a popular blog or site can make all the difference for months or years to come.  Best Wishes

       It has had a slight effect on other stats, but I can see that the views are coasting downwards toward more normal ranges again. It was fun.
