I am a little concerned about one of my Hubs, it apparently is going 'viral', well viral for me. I normally get between 300 and 500 visits on this one Hub per day, today all of a sudden my views jumped up to well over 2500. When I looked at the stats it tells me these views are coming from facebook. Should I be concerned? Or should I just sit back and enjoy the new found notoriety?
What a great question. Sounds like you've hit the target with that Hub. Congrats
I would say the latter. Someone with a fair amount of FB heft must have shared it. Congratulations!
I can't seem to find where it came from, it's been 'mellowing' for over a year now and was doing what I considered 'well'... Now, sheesh!! Wow... It is a tad frightening, I'd hate to have it removed or anything. Maybe it will just stay in the 'climbing' section.
Does google analytics confirm these views?
I hope they are real, that would be fantastic
However, recently some of us have experienced huge views from Facebook that weren't real - http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/94788
So I checked the forum and it appears that their may be a mistake somewhere along the lines. My Google Analytics do not appear to have noticed or picked up on it.. Well darn.
((((Sweetsusieg))))
Big hugs girl! Those views will come for you, I'm sure of it. I'm just sorry they didn't pan out right now.
I want to give this bot a good kick up the jacksie, getting folks hopes up like that!
Still can't figure out the point in a bot making all those views!
By the way, report it to HP, tell them the hub affected.

So, I just logged in after almost 18 hours without power, to discover that my article on The Woodmen's Circle Home is getting slammed with traffic. It usually gets under 100 views in a day. So far today, Google Analytics says it's at almost 10,000 views, and rising.I can trace it back as far as...

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

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...

It's encouraging to see that my traffic has been picking up recently, and my best performing hub has today broken the 100 barrier for the first time, achieving 105 views in the last day. My combined total is just 210 (from 36 hubs), so this one hub is receiving half my total views. And my total is...

Why would a hub which gets single digit page views per day suddenly jump to an extreme high?I have a hub that has been getting single digit page views per day for two and a half years. Today it has 229. Has anyone had this experience before? Any insight into what might be going...

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...
