that our own reads count as traffic? Cause I seldom edit whilst writing. I get sick of it and come back later and read it with new eyes and edit over a day or two. I'm going to be crushed to find out Im the only one reading my hubs. CRUSHED I SAY!
I think so.
I have a hub that I've never published. It has 4 views. That must've been me, editing it, 'cause no one else is supposed to even be able to read unpublished hubs.

How many Amazon capsules are allowed per how many words? I don't care personally, I never made much on Amazon. But on a few of the lenses that came over, they are almost all Amazon capsules, with maybe 200 words. I tried to tell one person in a nice way that it was an interesting topic, but that...

Hi everyone, thanks for checking out this forum post. As the title suggests, I'd like to ask you all how your traffic situation is right now, post-Panda. I got a dreadful hit (a decrease of 50%) last week from Panda but now my traffic is rising again. How's yours? Is it still doom and gloom or is...

I know this is a sad song, you've heard it before, but guess what? It's getting worse and worse and worse.Plus, some bug bit my left hand, it itches like crazy. I'm determined not to scratch (cortizone is near by, although I'd rather not).I'll suffer the itch on my hand like the itch on HP.Really,...
