I have been saving drafts of my articles to my Hub account page before I am ready to publish them. I have noticed that somehow I am getting page views on these articles which are not published, at least I did not hit the publish button nor know I was publishing them if I somehow did. What's up here? Can people look at my unpublished drafts? Who would look at these?
Can you let me know the titles of the articles you are referring to? Your own views are included in your stats, so it's likely that they are from looking at your articles yourself.
Okay, that is it. I just educated myself a bit more and read the screen that says no one but me can see my drafts. My bad! I understand now. It's been me vexing myself all along.
The article is "Words on Words: How Many Do You Know?" but I don't need any more help.
Thank you most kindly!
How do I remove this request before I vex others as well?
I can delete this thread if you'd like, but it may also help other users with the exact same question if left up. I'll leave it up to you.
Leave it up, please. I just didn't want to keep soliciting answers.
Thanks and Happy Day,
Dunbar

Why are incomplete articles saved as drafts receiving page views? I would prefer to keep them private until I have finished writing them.

Here's something I've been wondering. Is there any sort of accepted netiquette here re; how often new hubs may be added and at what point it starts looking like spammage? I'm sitting of several half-finished WIPs and, like any new hubber, feel eager to graduate from The Boot Camp and get out there....

In light of how much censorship the USA has been undergoing these days where if you even say "hello" the wrong way it seems, then you automatically get cancelled, I have decided to no longer publish anymore articles on this site, nor any other site until further notice.No, I have no...

Well, this has got to be a first. I signed into HubPages because I needed to prove to myself that I could attract readers. I needed to prove this to myself. I have a few that read my things, and it does humble me to know that. Thank you to those of you that have. But...

Can I publish articles while awaiting Google adsense approval?I applied for my AdSense account to be attached to my Hubs over a week ago. I was initially told by the Hub page team it would take 72 hours for approval but have now been told it could take several weeks. Is this the norm? Can I apply...
