Hi. I noticed that the view duration on my hubs has only been measured on two of them. It will be five months soon that I've been on here. Is that about the going rate or time period -- or is it that we only get a couple measured for view duration? Lots yet to learn. Thank you.
I'm thinking the view duration can only be measured when it averages above a certain amount of time. I only have about 2 hubs myself with a view duration on them, and I've been here almost 5 months too.
Wow. Live and learn. I didn't even notice the "view duration" thing (or have it register). This is only a guess, but it looks to me like it may be traffic-related. I went to my better Hubs, and they seem to have view duration. Then I went to my "stinkos", and it says, "not measured yet". They've been up for ages, so I'm guessing they get so little traffic it can't be measured. I'm sure someone else (who pays attention to these things, unlike "a certain person I know") knows the answer for certain. I just figured as long as I was here I'd add what I saw from my own.
(After I wrote that I thought it may have come out wrong. The reason I call my own low-traffic ones "stinkos" is that they've been up for ages and just don't get traffic. For someone else with Hubs without enough traffic to measure it, it's more likely a matter of them not being up long enough.)
I believe it is entirely traffic related. I have a relatively new hub with plenty of views that has view duration while older hubs with few views still "do not have enough data."
I'm sure once you get to (example only) 500 views, hubpages diplays it on average.
However if you only have a few views, the statistics could be quite out, leading you to believe your hub is less or more attractive to the average reader than it actually is.
Just like throwing a coin 5 times could leave you with 5 heads and no tails, while throwing it 100 times is more accurate and 10,000 times even more so.
Oh, I just noticed that I spelled your name incorrectly. I have bad eyesight. Thanks again. My first response is below.
Rafini, hello, and Lisa HW, hello and why lit, hello. Thank you for your responses. Nice to meet you online. That must be it, I guess. It must be a matter of traffic.

Hey fellow hubbers,I've been posting quite a few hubs recently and I've also been doing quite a lot of SEO for them however, there is some part of the puzzle that just isn't clicking for me. Most of the people that are coming to my hubs are bouncing, my bounce rate is 78%. Can you look at just 1...

Since I finished the apprenticeship, and after umpteen updates and changes made on HP, my traffic has never picked up. I can't remember the last time I saw any more than 40 views a day. My average at the moment is more like 30. The articles I worked long and hard to produce, sit there doing nothing...

After two months of issuing the Hubs, I can't see View Duration.Why?There are page views, I still see this (-not measured yet-) beside View Duration in Hub Metrics.

When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...

I just wrote a Hub last week entitled "Adam Lambert Sexed for Success". It did quite well, in fact it receive over 1700 views in less than a week. (that's good for me, anyway). My overall ranking on hubpages as of this morning was 96. The article was ranked anywhere from 87 - 93 and the...

I've noticed recently that certain information is being removed from my stats.An example would be that my hub on atheism which was written about 20 months ago and which has the duration of time people spent on it a full five stars now saying that it hasn't been measured yet.That's not true. It used...
