I wrote a hub recently and thought it would get 0-2 views per day like all my other hubs. After a couple of days having to get on with other work, I came back and found it had a fair number of views. I looked at the stats and found I was getting traffic from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn although I hadn't tried to set up backlinks on those sites or anywhere else yet.
Next thing, I get an email from someone asking if they can quote from my hub in a conference presentation at a meeting of a national society.
Well, I don't know if any of this will transform into income, but I'm absolutely thrilled with the little waves this hub has made.
I was just at the point of being really discouraged about not understanding SEO, promotion and related matters. So I'm posting this not to boast, but to share my joy.
Well, I'm very happy to hear that you're happy with your results. That's always a good thing.
If you're happy about it. How can I not be?
Good for you.
Great news! Obviously you have struck a chord with several people. Was it the Welsh sausage hub?
hey, that's wonderful. it just goes to show that you never know who is searching for what or who will find it! good for you.
Awesomeness with a side of awesome sauce! Congrats on a job well done!
Well done writeAngled! That's fantastic news! Lots of hubbers on here say that out of 100 or more hubs its only that small percentage does well for them. I'm still waiting for that hub. Just goes to show, keep writing good content and eventually you will hit gold, so congratulations!
Hi, it's great to hear when somebody appreciates your work. brilliant stuff, well done!

A couple years ago in 2011, I had a hub on another account that went up to 5000 views rapidly. Eventually it waned to about 1000-1300 views. Now after a couple years it gets about a few hundred views a day astonishingly. Would that hub be defined as "going viral?" I know it's not...

I now have 15 hubs. I am hitting 300 pageviews per day. 1 of my hubs on FIFA World Cup 2010 is contributing to 70% of the traffic.

I've seen some hubbers with over 90 score, but their hubs only score 60+ each. Others have high scoring hubs but lower profile scores. So I'm ignoring scores for now alltogether as I'm new.But what kind of traffic is "good" for a new hub - say within 1 week, 2 weeks and one...

Here's my problem, it's stagnant!I find that when a hub takes off the better performing ones fall back. My traffic has had the same average views for months even though a few of my hubs have finally gone wild.It's not like my entire account is suffering. Whenever there is a Penguin strike,...
