I have a fair number of featured images, but no snippets anymore.
The different categories: DenGarden or PetHelpful. Then there's Discover and HubPages that are feature articles.
I have some, not sure how many, but certainly less than I used to have. It's not really a surprise, given the general state of traffic.
I don't have any anymore. I did have an image in the right side panel on desktop, but they seem to have taken that away now too. I was getting 1800 views per day for an article on Owlcation when I had the featured snippet or first place in SERPs. Now that traffic has dropped to 60 a day and is still falling. Meanwhile people keep stealing the graphics from it.
I have an article that's snipped from about 4 to 5 years ago. Used to receive high traffic. But nowadays, it gets less than 200 views/day even though it is still featured by Google.

I just noticed that traffic to my article on how to grow willow has surged over the last few days. However it seems that the reason could be a featured snippet which has extracted captions from the photos and turned them into a series of steps. However it seems to be a pointless effort on behalf of...

Wondering where we stand with regard to a new accolade for having more than 5 EC hubs or even a way for people to see this special distinction publicly on our hubs. Right now, we are the only ones who can see it - on our account statistics. I'm tempted to opt out at this point. Is there anyone else...

I have been thinking about how I can give some of my hubs that receive less traffic more light. On our profiles, we can pick a bunch of hubs that feature in a "gallery" that fades in and out, right under our bios and above the published hubs listed in the bottom section. This year, my...
