Holy...... Someone must have put one of mine on there. I just logged in for the first time in a bit and I see I am getting a great amount of traffic! Immediately came to the forums to see if anyone else was having luck. Wow! As close to going viral as I will ever get, lol! I thank whoever was kind enough to flip me(?).

  What are the articles? Are they interesting? Or are they just links to your Hub articles? What's the magazine about?
  
  Flipboard is like any other social site. There's no point in creating a page or a magazine on Facebook or Pinterest or Flipboard or anywhere else unless you've got a specialist subject. NO ONE (except other Hubbers) is going to follow you just because you're an interesting writer. Your page or magazine needs to offer a wealth of interesting links and images about a particular subject, otherwise it won't work.

  earnerposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  I know that, but I don't have my own specialist thing - and "what is interesting" is subjective.
  
  The one I am drip feeding is about a specific English county/holiday destination ... apart from the first few which were my writing, I've been trying to find other sites with interesting stuff.
  
  Thing is .... what I spot/link to is clearly NOT interesting to others.
  
  You'd have thought one person might've found something there, if only by accident, though
  
  I am not actually "interested in anything" ... so can't "follow my passion" as I have none
  
  So I am trying to second-guess what the middle classes, with spare money, might find interesting .... I suspect it's something completely outside of my field of experience and understanding though. e.g. maybe if I tossed in a few spa days and cupcake businesses in the area that might grab their over-privileged eyes

  Off topic, sorry. You write about Cornwall and Wales? I was born and raised in Cornwall, live in South Wales
  
  How about a magazine dedicated to those two areas? There are strong ancient links between the two - they even share the same name. The scope is enormous. From food, to babies names. Best beaches to castles. Things in common, things that are different. Languages that share the same roots. Place names. Ancient sites. Magic. People - artists, singers, poets, actors. I'm coming over all passionate.

  One of them is Cornwall. 0 visitors
  
  Food has changed .... it's all "stuff wealthy Londoners like" now. You'd not recognise what's going on down there! Staggering ... shipping in London chefs for beach-locations' "pop up supper clubs" with exotic foods I can't even pronounce.
  
  I don't actually know anything about babies/names ... nor artists, singers, poets, actors.
  
  My interests are "outside of the scope of regular people". I have no concept of how "the emerging eyeballs" live/think .... it's alien to me.
  
  I know the old stuff... few eyeballs are interested in old stuff .... it's all about imported "chic", spending fortunes on fads/fripperies and living a bizarre "look at me/selfie stick" lifestyle
  
  Maybe I need to learn about yachts and Porsches ... and brands/designers that aren't Cancer Research shop

  I disagree, I think lots of people are interested in tradition Someone has to keep all that stuff in memory.
  
  When I say 'babies names', I mean comparisons between Welsh and Cornish names, that sort of thing. Of course you don't 'know' all this stuff. It's all out there and just takes a little research. I have to write about things I don't have a clue about, so I research, distill what I learn and write it. I'm educating myself as I work.
  
  You're not writing for the nouveau Cornish, you're writing for people who know nothing about the county or its traditions.
  
  The trick is to look for a topic, create a good searchable title and then write it. It becomes a lot easier as you do it. When you find a deep crevice of interest, mine it for all it's worth.

  Thing is, I have 100 other things I've also written about/am writing about. So no time to research something that I'm not really into, for a platform that's not showing me any love yet.
  
  I've had my time sucked up 100x in the past on various sites and am loathe to go down that route again.
  
  I'll keep drip feeding random stuff in .... something might occur
  Or not.
  
  I've been at this game for 10 years, earning a full-time income, sole household income, from my past efforts .... then the world changed and I'm trying to get back to where I was financially .... in an altered world.

  Kenneth, Actually it's quite easy once you get the hang of it. And I'll admit it took me a while to figure things out. So here we go...
  
  You need to do all the following on the desktop. Don't use the mobile app, which is not as good for maintenance work.
  
  Assuming you already created an account, you just click "create new magazine" and make one for each topic you write hubs about. Give each magazine a name and optionally a description.
  
  Then click the pen icon at the top and enter the URL of one of your hubs, click the magazine you want to put it in, and click done.
  
  You can continue adding more hubs by clicking the pen icon again.
  
  Once you're done, you can drag hubs around to display in different orders. You can also select one of the images from any hub to be the main image of that specific magazine.
  
  One thing I found out is that you need to click refresh after making any change to see the updated magazine. I was thinking there was a delay, but there isn't. I just needed to refresh a lot.

I have posted four articles on Flipboard. My results:

2 articles from DenGarden: One had over a thousand views, and they are leveling off. The other - nothing, nada, zilch.

Two different articles on autism: One on a niche site had a few hundred views; the other, not on a niche site, none.

My takeaway? It must be the interest in the subject matter. I had no "Flips" on any of the Hubs.

  Have you noticed the change in your CPMs since the surge in the social media? Views from social media pay a lot less than views through organic search. So, even though you get a lot of views from Pinterest, twitter, or facebook, they do not pay as much.
  (Paul Deeds posted these exact numbers some time back, but I do not have the link. I think calculus-geometry does though so you might want to email her and ask for the link from him.)

  CPM seems to drop for the day that there is a surge in traffic and then stays low for several days. Whatever about it being lower during the surge because budgets run out or social traffic is lower, I wonder if it is deliberately throttled back after a surge?

  DrMark1961posted 7 years agoin reply to this
  I get a surge in impressions every Sunday and my CPM for that day is always high, and then it is normal after that. (I just went and did an "earnings report" for the last few years to make sure this is generally true.)
  I do notice that my CPMs are lower on those days that one of my hubs is shared through social media like Facebook. (The number of page views goes up, but the income from that day is not that much better.)
  Did you notice that your CPMs were significantly depressed in the days following your Sunday surge from Flipboard?

  Wondering the same thing here. Views are twice as high as normal yet income being earned is less than 1/3 of normal.
  At first earnings got higher. Then after a few days of being normal it has now dropped to less than I was getting before the surge even though views are higher.

  TIMETRAVELER2posted 7 years agoin reply to this
  Yes, the CPMs have dropped a bit, but I have had SO many views this past week that, frankly, I made more one day income this past Saturday as well as Sunday than I have EVER made, so I do see value in those views. It's slowed down a lot now, which I expected, but views are still higher overall than they were, which makes me very happy!

I notice that when I remove the keywords from a hub which are causing it to be incorrectly topic tagged, delete the flip, and then flip the hub again, it stills ends up being tagged incorrectly using the removed keyword. So they seem to be using the Google cached version of the page or their own cached version (if the page was submitted previously)

  Glenn Stokposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  Just to be sure, is there a chance you missed one? Such as leaving the keywords in an image caption. Did you confirm non are left by doing a search in the hub for the keywords?

  eugbugposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  No, and yes. I removed the keyword from a text module, disabled display of a photo with the keyword in a caption, did a search for the keyword on the page and flipped the hub again. I noticed another anomaly too. I can't remember the details, but I think Flipboard used a keyword from the title of a popular or related hub as a basis for its topic tagging.

  I just discovered another anomaly. I changed the title of one of my hubs. I deleted it from the magazine it was in and then added it back. But Clipboard displayed it again with the old title. So they definitely are using cache information. That would explain why they held on to your incorrect keyword too.
  
  Now I deleted it again and I will wait 24 hours before adding it back. We'll see if that makes it work right.

  I tried that with adding a replacement photo on an article and the same thing happened. Once you put an article on that site, it seems you cannot change it.
  
  I also just spent all morning charting my Flipboard articles and found that hardly any of them are really correctly placed in topics, and some are absolutely outrageously placed.
  
  This being the case I don't know how anybody finds anything on that site. I searched RV and NONE of my RV based magazines showed up in the search, which is almost unbelievable.
  
  My views from them have now fallen way back, but it's no wonder. If they do not have a system in place that properly groups articles within topics, it's a catch as catch can situation for everybody there.
  
  What's ridiculous about that is that doing things this way is costing them a fortune and also the rest of us.

But I'm also noticing that when I access the site on my iPad it seems to be missing the gear icon, which is what we click on to edit our magazines. On Firefox, all the features are available. Not sure why you are having these problems.

  Got it...and thanks for the follow. How did you find my magazines? That is another question I have because I can randomly choose magazines, but, say, if I wanted to find yours, I don't know how to do it.
  
  Also, I work exclusively on my desktop with Chrome.
  
  What came up was not an error. It was a blank screen. I'll try updating Firefox.
  
  I'm beginning to think that to make Edits you must delete an article, edit elsewhere, then add it in again...but that this will only work if they are not using cached copies. If they're doing THAT, then you had better make sure your mag is exactly how you want it always to be.
  
  On the other hand, when people click on it, they will be taken back to the HP site, where the edits WILL show up.

  I found you simply by searching for your name. There is a field on top with a magnifying glass icon. Just put anything you're searching for in that field and click the icon.
  
  If you change a hub on HubPages, the changes will NOT be reflected in your magazine. But you can make minor changes by editing the magazine, such as adding or changing the caption description. You can also promote any image to be the main image for the magazine.
  
  If you change a hub in HubPages and you want the changes to show up in your magazine, that may not be so easy. I discovered that when I delete and add back, the old info is reused ( as if they are keeping a cache copy and using that). I will have more information on this problem soon, since I am experimenting with waiting for the cache to clear in their system. Hopefully that will allow changes to be reflected in the magazine.
  
  As for your problems, Eugene had asked you very good questions. Whatever it is, the problem is on your end since I'm able to do the things you say you can't do. And that blank screen is not a good sign. You might also want to scan for viruses.

  Glen, as regards caching, it would be interesting to get Google to re-crawl a hub to see if Flipboard are using Google cached pages rather than their own. You can do this using Webtools here:
  
  https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools … ue=/addurl
  
  Check before and after to see whether Google has updated the cache of a page (sometimes they do it straight away). Then check whether the Flipboard version has been updated.

  I tried two things with a hub on which I had changed the title. I waited 24 hours after removing it from Flipboard. Today I added it back and it appeared with the prior title.
  
  So I deleted it again and forced Google to update their index with the same link you just mentioned. I just checked and Google says the cache was taken today at the time I did it. So I know they have an updated cache. I added it back to Flipboard and it again it appeared with the prior title.
  
  So your theory is also ruled out now. They obviously are using their own cache, and it doesn't clear after 24 hours either.
  
  My next task it to write to them about this, which I'm going to do right now. I'll post back when I get a reply.

  I received a detailed reply...
  
  You are correct, it is cached on our servers that re-scrape this type of information in different intervals. The server will check the original content once in a while and re-scrape any changes that are made automatically. How often and how soon completely depends on how popular the feed is within our environment.
  
  So it's just a matter of waiting for changes to our hubs to get reflected in the magazine. I guess we will need a lot of patience.

  Also, when I went to Firefox and got the new version and tried to sign in to Flipboard, it wouldn't take my password. I reset it, but when I opened the site, it acted like it was a new account! I went back to my Flipboard site on Chrome and had to update the password, but all the original info was there.
  
  Normally, when using the same password, you'd get the same info on both browsers. This is getting weirder by the minute!

  The gear icon doesn't show up in some cases. But it's on the app and it also show up when using the site in Firefox. But when I use the site on my iPad with Safari, I don't see it. I'm disappointed that they make things work differently in each case. It makes it confusing.
  
  In any case, the pencil is simply to add a new item to a magazine. That's what you use when you add hubs to your magazines. But the gear icon is used to edit existing items.
  
  As for your last problem, it looks like you accidentally created two separate accounts I'm getting confused between the two of them.

  For anybody who likes Firefox but hates symbols on browsers and can never remember what they do , the Classic Theme Restorer is a useful addon and creates a very intuitive interface on the desktop version. Look how simple this is:

  Are you trying to display the Flipboard.com homepage? Is your Firefox version up to date? Does it just give a blank screen or does it report an error when you try to access Flipboard? Can you access other sites? You could try clearing the cache, exiting and restarting Firefox.
  It doesn't seem to be possible to change photos in a magazine or than to pick an image from other flips.

  BTW, you just found out what I was talking about with regards to not being logged in. I see you just left me a comment in one of my hubs, but you were not logged into HubPages when you did it. So it asked you for your name and you typed it in lower case. You created your actual hubpages account with all upper case for your username.
  
  So maybe as far as Flipboard goes, you might have created two accounts. One lower case and one upper case. I'm not sure, but it might see each as a different username.

Just set up a Flipboard account, but am not real good about figuring out what to do. I believe I added an article to a magazine, but when I click on the magazine, I don't see the article. The photo did show up as my background photo on my magazine.

How do you add articles to magazines? Just copy the URL in the comments section?

Flipboard may not be consistent, but I gotta say, when it works, it works.

This AM I awoke to an e-mail from HP telling me that such-and-such a Hub had been moved to ReelRundown. "Cool," I sez, and threw it into one of my Flipboard "magazines," almost as an afterthought.

Checked my stats after dinner and BAZINGA! That sucker went thru the roof today!

Experience has taught me that it will only be a temporary bump and not a sustained stream of traffic but y'know what? I've had a crappy week, so I'll take it.

  I have deliberately only tried to post things which have been moved to the niche sites. I did this because people were saying that those on the mothership were not being categorized correctly! I have also been reading that we should try to use great titles for our magazines and a good description. too. I know that they say it is optional but I think it is important and so too do staff on Flipboard. I have been reading some of their Tutorials. There seem to be quite a lot of videos and tutorials on Flipboard. I think a great picture also makes all the difference on a Hub but when it is on Flipboard that is the first thing people will see. The hub which is doing so well has now received close of 2000 views and it is not on the niche site. I have a sneaky feeling that success is much more about the subject and posting great images, just my thoughts!

  When you are in edit mode you can promote the picture you would like to see there. In edit mode, there is a little promote button to the right of the picture.
  
  It would be nice to be able to choose photos other than the ones which are at the top of the Hub but you could try altering them on the Hub if that would work with your hub but generally, we don't always want to go to all that trouble. It would mean you could show the image you want to see on the front of your magazine. I have been changing my images regularly just as soon as I think that people might grow weary of them. A change is as good as a holiday in my book. I am also finding that wide pictures look better than full length ones..

  It probably wouldn't be much point adding an IP filter because the IP address is dynamic. Anyhow I haven't visited any hubs via Flipboard more than a few times during the days in question.

  Food is highly saturated and has a lot of competition,
  single county is far too limited
  So the home entrepreneur might be your best bet IF you add hubs that are on the niche site and if you interact with other people on the other site. When time permits, give it a go and see what happens. Even then it will be "iffy", but it's worth a try.
  
  I had trouble with comments also until I realized that below each article there is a very small area with "comments" written on it. That's where you comment. It's easy, fast and simple to do. Try it and see what happens.

  People find your stuff by following you. But better than that is when your flips get featured, then anyone searching for the subject may stumble on your flip, and that's organic traffic. (But only niche hubs get featured).
  
  People also re-flip you flips and it spreads around that way. I had a few of mine re-flipped and I also flipped other flips. I also comment on other people's flips and that seems to get some extra traffic when they click on your image which is attached to your comment (unless you didn't upload an image).

Here's a new discovery about Flipboard management:

If you have hubs that were moved to niche sites and you have previously flipped them into magazines, I recommend that you delete the flip and re-flip the niche URL.

My egg omelet recipe hub was moved to Delishably and when I re-flipped it, Flipboard immediately tagged it to the recipe topic. Only hubs in niche sites get tagged and that brings much more traffic.

  eugbugposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  Sorry I should have said topic tags, i.e. the ones that Flipboard doesn't always automatically add to flips.
  As regards hashtags, I always try to add them to Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest posts. It means posts are then categorised. So for instance if someone clicks on a hashtag in a tweet and you've used that tag, your post will display in a list for that tag. However because of the ever flowing nature of the Twitter stream, the tweet may be way downstream and they will have wade a long way to get to it! Hashtags are also useful in tweet profiles so that your account shows up in a list, e.g. if you had #FeltMaking or #MacroPhotography in the text paragraph of your profile. I don't know really effective it is, but it just means there's a better chance of someone stumbling upon your content if they do a search for a topic.

  I don't think hashtags are required. People on Flipboard will still view your Magazine without following the magazines. Try checking your Hubpages "Traffic sources" in the account tab. Look down the list of traffic sources under accounts tab in Hubpages, and you will notice Flipboard views. I just discovered my Flipboard views today, which is 963 views, but I only have 1 follower on Flipboard. Although I'm following about 8 Flipboard members. Good luck Sallybea, hope this helps.

  I have the same problem--all of my magazines disappeared when I hit the pencil icon and I only have the two put on there from Flipboard. Refreshing does not help in my case, and although my magazines are still there if I use the magnifying glass icon, I can not add anything to them.
  Any ideas?

  I would try hitting the squiggly arrow and refresh it, DrMark 1961, the page you want should turn up, Also, I signed in with facebook, twitter or google +.and I ended up with a new account using the same email address.

  The icon that looks like a squiggly arrow is a tiny representation of a graph. That is the icon for analytics. You are right about that Mark.
  
  In analytics you can click on any magazine in the last column and review the stats for that specific mag. When you find one that's doing really well, go back to your profile and drag that magazine to the top so it gets even more views. People usually don't scroll and if you have a lot of magazines, the ones lower down may never get seen. So move the best to the top. You can drag and drop to arrange the order of your magazines. Really powerful stuff.

  Glenn Stokposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  Not sure what you meant.
  
  If you mean pages per article, they can be of any length.
  
  If you mean articles per magazine, there is no limit. However, it makes no sense to make a magazine with just one article in it.
  
  What worked best for me? Number of magazines does not effect it. What works best is when I tweet about my new magazines that I create. Flipboard has been retweeting my tweets, and they have a lot of Twitter followers. If you want, you can see how I do that. My Twitter link is on my HubPages profile.

  Glenn Stokposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  I'm not saying to put a hashtag in a URL. I never said that. I see you are using Twitter and you are actively tweeting, so I mentioned that because you should take advantage of the Flipboard tweets by using hashtags.
  
  If you are not familiar with hashtags, they are keywords that help people search fort things on Twitter. You put the number sign (#) in front to make it a keyword, or hashtag as they're called.
  
  Flipboard curators (of which you are one) tweet every Friday using the #FlipboardFriday hashtag. Do a search for that in Twitter and you'll see all those tweets.
  
  Since I see you are following my tweets, you should have been seeing my activity with Flipboard, so I thought you knew about all this. Anyway, I hope I answered you question.

  I've wondered that, too, as well as the fact that some of my flips show up with no images at all! I do know that once you place an article, even though you may change the image, the text or whatever, it does not reflect that on Flipboard because they use cached articles. I have written them about these issues and they have said they'd look into them, but so far nothing has changed.

  This is the problem with all social media traffic. You might have some luck and see a big surge which is really worth having. Or you just get a few minor spikes now and again for all your tweeting and posting.
  
  Orientate to Google and there is a lot less meaningless labour involved. Once you start getting Google traffic you get it for many years. All you need do is choose a good topic and write a good article. Update every year or so and there is nothing else to do.

  Thanks Kyriaki, I just followed you, so you can find me that way since you'll get a notification.
  
  If you ever want to find anyone, just put their name in the search field and look at all possible matches. I also go to people's Google Plus account to see if they added a link to their Flipboard, but not many Hubbers take advantage of that.
  
  You can add or change captions by first editing the magazine and then click on any item you flipped. It will open a box with the caption field you can fill in. This is also where you see the "delete item" option.
  
  You should add meaningful captions quickly when you flip something new so that it gets tagged properly. It also helps get it noticed more often if the caption is a good SEO statement.

I noticed something unusual this morning on Flipboard, but first some background info.
I received a notification email that one of my hubs had been moved to Owlcation.com. I had made some edits yesterday to the hub as requested by an editor and one of the edits was to change the hub profile image (the one at the top of the hub). Then I resubmitted the hub for reconsideration. I checked Flipboard today and noticed that the flip image for this hub had changed to reflect this new image, even though I hadn't reflipped the hub from Owlcation. Google haven't updated their cache of the hub either.
So does this mean that Flipboard "crawl" our hubs every so often? Maybe this is something new they're doing. I've deleted flips of hubs before and resubmitted and nothing changed (can't remember if I ever changed the top image)

  Glenn Stokposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  First of all, HubPages creates a 301 redirect when hubs are moved – so links to the old URL still work.
  
  Second of all, it looks like Flipboard finally has their bot crawling existing articles to update their database now. That's good news. In the past, even deleting and reflipping didn't help. When I complained about this, they told me that they use the saved cache when we reflip, so the system never takes the new images or edited text. NOW it looks like they finally fixed that.

  Do you have to remove the original post before you try to replace it. If I remove the orignal post and then restore it in the hopes of having my edited post be on flipboard (I had to change the picture) will it affect the flips this post has already gotten.
  
  Also I have discovered that flipboard will not index posts about bees. That strikes me as weird. Bees are in the news right now because the bumble bee is near extinction.
