I wish there was a way to determine on the traffic stats which clicks were me so I could figure out my real stats. If there is a way can someone please explain how. Thanks!
Link your account with Google analytics then apply a -1% to account for your own incidental page views.
livewithrichard,
thanks, that is a really good idea. I had not thought about adding Google analytics. I realize it will not be as relevant once the traffic gets to a certain point but when you are just getting started it can really help. thanks again
if your traffic stats are low enough that your own vies make a big difference then they are probably too low to really worry about anyway. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it simply means that you need to spend more time promoting.
When you say lcicks, I hope you are not talking about clciking on your adverts, if you click your own adsense ads you will be banned and lose all current earnings.
thanks thisissoli for the info and no that does not sound harsh. I am new to HP but not to online marketing so I do know about the adsense clicks. I was mainly talking about the traffic to your hubs. I realize it will take time to build up the number of visitors, it was just a thought.
In Google Analytics, you can use the Filter Manager to filter out traffic from your IP address--assuming it's a static IP address. If you don't know your IP address, go to whatismyip.com
Irohner,
I have Goggle Analytics up and running! I realize it may not be that important right now but hopefully my traffic will grow enough to matter. Thanks for all the tips everyone!
I know people keep saying their views on their on hubs and profile count on their stats - but mine don't count on mine - I've checked it out numerous times. So I don't know why this is. . .

You may have noticed that the stats button on your hub now says "stats disabled" and that your total hubs views are not moving up. We had a hardware failure on one the servers that we use to record and process the millions of views we get a day. We are working to restore the...

Is there a way within Hub Pages to see which articles are only receiving Hub traffic? I try to beef up the low performing Hubs but it would help to know which Hubs have no outside traffic. Or is the score of the Hub sufficient to monitor the lack of Google traffic?

I'm a newbie so I really want to see how my work is doing and if my improvements are attracting more traffic to my hubs, but the traffic hasn't been updated in over 16 hours. Is something wrong with the site?

This is a serious suggestion.The stats is a sore point for many hubbers. I say if HP can't fix it then remove it. No use having it if we can't get an update at least daily. The page views haven't moved for one week and in other forum it says that the issue has been resolved.Remove this or fix it so...

I've received some more information from our engineering team regarding the recent issues with stats processing.The stats processing mechanism is a bit complicated (due to the sheer amount of data to process), with many interconnected parts.Unfortunately, this means that a single failure can cause...

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...
