For the past couple of days, when I look at traffic sources, I'm seeing -2 from Hubpages, Pinterest and Stumbleupon. -1 from several other sources. Is this happening to others, and does anyone know what it means?
It does go wonky every now and then. I guess a system as big as HP is going to have its hiccups. It should straighten itself out. Mine aren't showing negative numbers right now, but I remember once it was showing 1,000,000 hits from places I'd never heard of. They'll fix it.
I asked this same question and was completely ignored... then I cried myself to sleep and drank tequila all day. Not that the latter had anything to do with the former, but don't think it didn't hurt just the same!
YOUR Question was regarded as being - Two Negative!!
So.....
Only a moot point was to be made by replying!
You drank ta kill ya all day and are still alive to talk about it? No thanks!
I have, however, been known to drown my sorrows in Wild Cherry Pepsi and Cheetos. I like the hot ones. Cheetos, not the Pepsi.
Mine are also very 'buggy' and that means that there is at least one Bug in that part of the site.
So thank you for sharing the fact in your Heads Up!
I'm sure now the spiders will be released to roam the empty traffic department and catch the negative bugs that have been negatively affecting our traffic!
Mine are negative at the moment too. My earnings are dropping as well. No idea why

I just checked my traffic sources and saw that my numbers are going backwards in several areas! That's a first!

Has anyone ever seen anything like this in their traffic stats?There have been negative numbers in my traffic source stats for days now, but when I checked it just now it seems to have gone totally crazy. The page views are not working again either.

Why do number of views in hub statistics not match up with numbers in traffic sources?When looking at the last 24 hour period of time, my total views for all hubs combined (say it's 300) are not reconciled with the traffic numbers added together from all sources (say this number is only 100). If...

I'm hoping it's an update, of course, but expecting to be told it's a glitch...

For the past 48 hours,, my total views (as shown on my account summary) are decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing again. Yesterday I watched the daily view go from 309 to 263 then back to 300.; How does this affect income and when will the counts be reliable again?
