I noticed someone asked two months ago how to ping one's hubs. I've also read the forum question and answers on whether it's a good idea to ping one's hubs. But I didn't actually see the answer to what it means to 'ping' one's hub. Can someone please enlighten me? I'm especially wondering because last week I edited each hub by opening each one up and copying/pasting each one to my hard drive/documents so that I'd have the newest version of each. I closed each hub up afterward. To my surprise traffic increased a lot for a couple days from that little exercise.
go to pingmybog.com and one called feed fish ? Its easy to do !
Your own editing actions count as page views. As for pinging:

Yes, I had read that one, but still didn't or don't understand.
Thanks, though. and with regard to our own editing actions counting as page views, I had read that a couple months ago, but is it also true that at the end of the day when the count goes down, it's because those page views we did ourselves have been subtracted?
Just wondering. thanks.
Pingler is pretty good, the good news is that pinging hubs is not really requird, most people see their hubs indexed in a matter of hours naturally.
Some Free Site Map Generators have a ping facility, it's worth a look. Search on: Google Free Site Map Generator
Here's the site mapper that I use:http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp it has a pinger :-)
No, our own pageviews are not subtracted.
The count on HubPages is on a 24-hour cycle. That is, when you look at the pageview count at 8:00PM, you will see how many views there have been since 8:00PM yesterday. When you look at 2:00PM, you will see how many views there have been since 2:00PM yesterday, etc.
So, the reason the count goes down is because of fluctuations in the rate of traffic over the course of a single day.

My traffic had been picking up in a gradual manner. I was happy with it. Suddenly yesterday one hub got almost 400 hits, it had been holding at just under 100 per day, which I thought was good. My total traffic is at an all-time high. This might sound like good news, but a similar thing happened...

I was wondering about what percentage of people vote on the poll from the people who are viewing our hub. My hub is getting visiters but hardly any vote in a well defined and very simple opinion poll.

I know there have been a lot of changes and I really appreciate that. I also am looking forward to the new hub layout...but...with disappointment.In any business, one must first make their assessment about what works and what doesn't. The things that don't work, you either fix them or get rid of...

I have a new hub that is getting quite a few page views, but on my statistics, it is showing the page views at 0. It went from about 400 one day to 0 the next. I know it's getting page views because it got about 20 Facebook "likes" yesterday. Plus, I've visited it to see...

Wordpress submits each post to ping services like pingomatic. Should we be submitting our Hubs to these services or submit a ping each time we post a new Hub?

Does the view count of my hub include my own views of my hub too(assuming I'm logged in)?If yes, I think it is wrong to count my own views too especially if i'm logged in.
