I know that views in "my account" are based on a 24 hour period and not a calendar day. That said, all through yesterday when I checked my account, it didn't show a number related to traffic Analytics is reporting for yesterday.
Since I didn't check my analytics until this morning, I could only compare the number from yesterday (analytics) to my 24 hour number (hubpages.)
I'm seeing a 22% difference in traffic between hubpages and analytics, with analytics having the higher number.
Anyone experiencing the same? What could be causing it?
I'm pulling the number in Analytics from the "content overview" line graph in case that could have something to do with it. (I figured perhaps unique v total number of pageviews could be the difference.)
Additionally, I block my own IP in Analytics so my own views don't show up, so if anything I'd think my account here on HubPages would have the higher number given that I'm unable to discount my own views here.
The numbers I'm seeing are:
22% difference for yesterday
11% difference for the past seven days
5% difference for the past 30 days
I often see different information in terms of daily views per hub in analytics so tend to take it as a general idea.
22% however is a big difference
The two sites use different criteria to calculate views. You'll never be able to get them to match up.
It's more than just criteria. HP probably gets stats from their server. Analytics needs a bit of JavaScript to contact the Google servers and it won't always load fully and if it does it can have trouble reporting.
If you run Adsense, you'll see that Analytics always misses some of that, too. Same reason,

Why is there a difference in number of page views in Adsense and Analytics?I note that Anaytics shows a higher number of page views than Adsense - i.e. just views, not clicks. The total of views given on Hubpages itself is different again, but I appreciate that may include your own visits to...

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...

Is it possible to "0" out the number of views just before we publish a HUB?

Cannot believe it. So low, in fact, it's in the 2 digit numbers. What in the heck has happened? I have never experienced this before. But it is happening.

I've been hearing lots of positive posts from lensmasters whose lenses transferred to HP recently that their hubs are getting a lot more "traffic" than previously as Squidoo lenses.I too have noticed that my "traffic" is rising and I am hoping that it will be sustained thanks to...
