Hi all, I've noticed that one of my articles has been getting lots of reads lately (yay!). But when I go to the Traffic Source link to see the breakdown with the websites, the Daily reads don't add up. I'm wondering if HubPages does track websites outside of the main ones (Google, hubpages, newsbreak, a few others).
Does anyone have any insight or have experienced the same thing?
Stats are updated every few hours, but sometimes it takes longer. Please visit the FAQ for more information.
I don't know what the discrepancy is, but generally speaking, the HP stats are very basic and not great. HP themselves always recommend using Google Analytics if you want better stats info.
Not all sources are listed under "Traffic Sources". For instance I don't have any Facebook traffic listed.
Thanks for all of the replies. I'll have to look into Google Analytics.

Hi- I was noticing that the traffic source reports include Twitter and Tweet Grid, but not Tweet Deck. I normally use Tweet Deck, because it is much more user-friendly, and auto-refreshes (unlike Twitter home). Also, as with Tweet Grid, anything posted there does feed over...

Ever since the switch to subdomains, I have seen specific subdomain names listed on the traffic stats for individual Hubs; and on the Traffic Sources Page, the numbers for HubPages have seemed to decline (understandably). Recently, I have seen higher numbers for HubPages.com, and I don't...

Analytics tells me that I suddenly started getting traffic from something called the Maven Coalition. Since I don't have a website on Maven, are my hubs being advertised there? How can I figure out where specifically on Maven this traffic is coming from?
