This is a good question, Brenda. I am interested in the answer. No, I don't worry about it. Knowledge is important.
The notice in HubPages accounts states, "Revenue is accurate, but impression counting was broken from 11/2 to 11/9 on a few Network Sites". We have the correct impression data but have not updated that data in HubPages accounts. Your earnings data is accurate.
Are Amazon stats broken too? I haven't had any clicks since Nov 4th. Normally I get 10 to 150 per day. There still seem to be items ordered though.
Yes, we are working on fixing this. Your revenue is correct. We will update Clicks data soon.
Long before my closing my account twice so far -- I just gave up this whole thing about impressions and revenue. Even my love for satire wouldn't be inspired to comment. So I just write for my fun, not wondering anymore how the business of HP is conducted. The bottom line is: take it or leave it, no one is forcing us to stay. Earning enough for a coffee is better than having our stuff unfeatured. You want to have cyber friends? -- work for it. Oops! Wasn't that the satirist in me opening his big mouth!
^^ Same here.
Obsessing about traffic and SEO and impressions and blah de blah makes my head hurt.
I have always treated this site as a hobby. I write my stuff, I post my stuff. If it takes off and gets a bunch of views, hey, that's great. If not, I write something else and try again. If I get some beer money out of it every couple of months, woohoo.
It's not the most profitable way to use this site, but it's way less stressful.
Currently my views/revenues absolutely suck, but I have more important things going on in the real world so I can't lie awake worrying about it.
Views, impressions, CPM, and all those parameters serm to be quite complicated and must have their explanations but I also feel that there is no use to worry about them.
For me also it is a hobby to publish here.
I used to do a really good impression of the actor Michael Caine. But, I gather just about everybody else can.

I recently visited a hub which left me perplexed. The hubber made a table of contents which were all links back to the same page. So in essence, the page was just reloading itself. Normally when I see a hyperlink it takes me to another page or opens another page in a new window. This is usually a...
