I have a couple of questions.
1. How do I delete a hub?
2. Is the traffic stats accurate as I really don't think they are?
1. When you look into your account and click on "edit" the hub, you have the option to unpublish. Once unpublished you can delete.
2. No, don't take it as gospel. Nothing ever is, but if you sign up for a Google Analytics account (free) you do gain a better measure.
Check out the help section of HubPages.

You can delete a hub by clicking on it in your statistics, then pressing delete at the top.
The hubpages statistics are good for guidelines, but you would be better off getting Google Analytics.
How do I set up google analytics for a hub though? And thanks both of you for your help. I will go and try to delete the hub now.
Glad you've made some progress.
I don't want to put anybody out of their hard efforts, so if you click on the following link it'll take you to the most pertinent portion of the HubPages FAQ. I assure you it can't be written any better than me, unless you're looking for weird references to obscure popular culture mixed in.

No problem. The tracking code (not the Java, should look like something like mine: UA-1694XXX7-1) is placed under "Affiliate Settings" on the "My Account" page.

I saw where this issue has been addressed in the past and supposedly corrected. But for many weeks now, especially toward the end of the week and weekends, my HubPages stats will not update for hours and sometimes even days at a time. An example would be "Includes data from 17 hours ago and...

I think it would be nice if we could earn money from our questions here on hubpages. Still with the 60/40 split just like on our hubs.The only thing I would think would be people posting too many questions, so maybe implement a cap on questions ie 3-5 per day as long as they are not spammy. ...

I published a hub yesterday. Usually I thought it showed traffic hits immediately. But, even after its been featured it is still not showing traffic hits. I checked again this morning and nothing. It shows 0 traffic across the board. This cant be right bc I shared it on my facebook fan page and it...

How accurate are the statistics on my hubs?I'm afraid to say that my hubs aren't too popular. My best hub receives about 50-80 hits a day. I woke up this morning to see that one hub has received 400+ hits in one day. It's a hub I just published a month ago. All of the hits...

As per the new changes HubPages has made, I was required to make a few changes to the amount of Amazon products I was showing. I lowered the amount of products to lower than an average of 1 per 50 words on the hubs that HubPages has penalized. Furthermore, on hubs that weren't penalized I got rid...
