Anyone else seeing this? It's a bit unnerving lol all the numbers at the top are completely absurd and are negative.

  Matt,
  I checked my just now and show about the same thing. I am getting concerned because a few of these sites are links to pornography sites. This is worrisome. Does any one know if this will effect our Adsense accounts and can we be punished from having so many views from porn sites such as ignatzmice.com?

  I was wondering about the weird sites that were popping up. It makes me wonder if the site has been hacked, or otherwise tampered with.
  
  I suspect since the numbers are negative, they wouldn't affect adsense, but I really don't know. My stats page isn't affected, although it hasn't updated in some time.
  
  I didn't realize some of the sites were porno sites, that is just offensive to me.

Yes, just looking to post a forum for the same problem and saw that you already did. Very weird. I'm wondering myself if the strange traffic sources are linked in some way to the severe drop in traffic that happened to me within the last 48 hours. Interested to see if these 'traffic sources' are the same as others are seeing. Seems strange to have the traffic issue in addition to this glitch - coincidence?

  It seems as the sources are different. Maybe the sites are determined by your personal use on the computer or what you write about? Many of the "traffic sources" are related to my hubs and personal use. Idk, just a thought. Or perhaps your content was linked there?
  My views are the same as always, no change, a rise perhaps.

  Yes, I would say double-check everything in Google Analytics (if you use that) because it can give you your traffic in real time. So far, mine seem to match up with what's in my "stats" tab, but I'd also get screen shots in case you need to prove your earnings.
  Some people have reported that they've lost earnings because the page views were skewed. :\

  My guess is that HP doesn't even use the in-house stats for earnings calculations. HP would use the Google Analytics' so that the advertisers couldn't give them any arguments over the numbers.

The easiest and most likely answer is that its a harmless glitch in stats reporting.

There is no reason to assume it is real traffic or a malicious attack.

I would welcome an attack that gave me over a billion views in a day! But, that didn't happen

Um... I have a question about these weird names and numbers appearing in our traffic sources...

Could these be a weird way of someone out there adding their links somehow to our Hub accounts so that they get named? Are they like backlinks? Are they a blackhat way of adding to some rankings of certain sites out there? Some of the links I have seen here appear random and chaotic.

I hardly think that my biggest traffic source is some guy on Stumbleupon who has linked to me over a million times. I worry about how this might affect earnings to people's hub.

What an interesting situation. I'm new to hubpages and not making money yet, so it won't affect me. I have "lost" several sites that I know I'm getting hits off of on my traffic source page, and added to the page is mister-wong.ru with numbers in the negative hundreds of millions. I'm not going to go see exactly what "mister-wong.ru" is though.

It will be interesting to hear what happened.

I think there has been a glitch in stats for a few days now.

My most trafficked hub has shown a steady drop in traffic since the 22nd, but this drop has not been reflected in Analytics.

Yesterday for example - Analytics - 694 (I would expect about 300-400 of those views)
HP stats - 31

Day before was 788 and 89.

HP ads payments seem normal.

All that hard work has finally paid off.

I made a tweak recently - replaced the word ass with crap on a brilliant page of writing - and I think that Google has finally recognised me.

Not just Google either! I'm getting traffic from all over, and not just a few hundred but gazillions!!!!

Anyway, sorry to go on, but I thought I'd share my good fortune. I know most people haven't a chance of this sort of traffic but I'm just so excited by it.

Finally. Recognition of how fantastic I am. About time.

Well, it's okay if it's just a glitch, still, we need an official statement about it in my opinion.
On the other hand I am very much worried about the latest problems around hubpages, as during the last 2 weeks we have experienced missing earnings, weird traffic drops, a broken feed (for me it was not working for about 14 hours) and now this.
I wonder what will be the next thing and when shall I finish writing to this site - as these stuff do not motivate me to hang around too much lately.

I'm glad to see that many people are not affected with actual traffic problems and that this is just a glitch in the sources page. For me (still having the problem) it coincided with traffic cut 95% and google analysis confirm there is no traffic. It comes down to google giving me nothing. This is day 3. Sites are indexed, no warnings in webmaster tools, but hubs are in the dark- they don't appear when searched for by title or even first paragraph. Only show up by searching the hub URL or my profile URL. Perhaps these problems are not linked as everyone is not experiencing the same, but this is beyond frustrating.

I've got a bunch of these Bizarro World "traffic sources" too. I first noticed something was goofy a couple of days ago when I had a "minus 1" from bing.com, but I didn't think much of it.

Now it shows minus one billion views (!) from a wordpress page, minus 308 million from a Russian site, and minus 547 million from a Spanish news site.

The one I find most worrisome is a minus 13 million from a fellow Hubber's page. Maybe this person has some sort of nasty link in their Hub(s) that is spreading throughout the site? I'm sure not going to click on that link and find out.

So hey, where the heck is a Staff member or some sort of announcement to let us know what the heck is going on?

Now that we all know these sites are probably "unwanted traffic", I think this is possible right? It may be a bad idea to follow the strange sources and check them out, if whatever it is they are doing is to bring themselves traffic, they win.
If they are trying to spread viruses, worms, or other malware, it'll also make it easier for them.

  I think Analytics has always showed something completely different then either the statistics page or the traffic source page.

  Since getting Analytics Real Time, I have not noticed any major disparity before now. The two seem very similar. One of my accounts had a huge traffic influx for a few days, and both HP stats and Analytics appeared to show the rise at the same time.

  It is histerical if you compare the characters across the star dates.... Deep Space 9 was entertaining too.

  Daughter Of Maatposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  Have not seen deep space 9 yet, that's next on the list. Unfortunately, I've watched the shows out of order. I watched Enterprise, then Voyager and then Next Generation. So I haven't been able to clearly compare the evolution of the characters. So far my favorite characters have almost always been the second, security or science officers. Data, Tupac, Seven of Nine, T'Pal.
  
  I used to hate Star Trek lol... I may have to go back and watch the original series. I think Enterprise had to be my favorite although Voyager is a very close second. Just our of curiosity, do you have a favorite?

  I love the original... William shatner cracks me up... even when he is being serious... he only has one acting voice and he applies it to everything... he has such arrogence ... it's like Richer... who is so full of himself that it takes a mind reader to take him serious.... and Picard is somewhat like spock... and janeway is some cross between all of them.

  Daughter Of Maatposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  ha ha ha!!!! Love it! Indeed, Richer is like the reincarnation of Kirk! lol We were just saying that today, because he always "gets the girl." I love Picard and Janeway. Although I never thought of him that way, you're right, Picard is very much like Spock in many ways. I loved the episode where Picard went to Romulus to talk to Spock because his father had died. You could really see the similarities between them in the scene where they talked privately. Brilliant episode.
  
  I hate to say it but I loved Janeway's voice! lol She was an interesting addition to the line of captains. She brought feminine emotion to her character which added a uniqueness to Voyager.

  yes the vulnerable strength... that was Janeway's legacy... I enjoyed all of them... even DS9... although the poor me attitude got to be a bit much... The ferengi were/are interesting and awesome in that they represent the worst of humanity ... profit no matter the cost...

  Daughter Of Maatposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  Oh the ferengi, I really dislike them lol. I do find it interesting that they made them a very unappealing race considering, like you said, they are the epitome of worst of humanity. They do a good job of portraying that role, however, because I do despise them! lol They are easily intimidated as well which is an interesting facet of their character. (I hope no one takes offense to this, but my hubby calls them the jews of the alien world lol)

  That is really weird, their ears are sooooo gross lmao. Do you remember the episode in Next Generation where Counselor Troi's mom stayed with the Ferengi dude to help her daughter escape? Oh I was so grossed out by that episode. Although, the Ferengi's partner was the actor who played Neelix in voyager.

  If it was in the first or second season I may not have seen it, my husband watched those while I was at work. I might have to go back and watch them if the episode isn't in the sixth or seventh season. Sounds like a great episode.

  Thankfully, they figure out your earnings from the data that is received from google. Can you imagine the nightmare that this would be causing if our views and impressions matched the current set of issues...

  Thanks davemidtown. My analytics reports don't include any of these massive hits on this particular hub so I would expect that will be taken from my income.

  davenmidtownposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  Tammy: you should expect that it will NOT be taken from your income...because they do not figure income based on HP stats... they base income on the data that is received from google...which is verified in house and before payment is issued. Your income comes from google and then passes through HP.

Mine has dropped about 15-20% since the Spring-like weather started, Tammy. Wonder if that could be at least part of the reason?

  Not sure Alastar. I think my problems started before this glitch. I have a hub that doesn't get a lot of hits. On the 16th this hub suddenly got 945 views in one day and 700 the next day. It normally gets 10 views a day. None of the view sources or Google AdSense showed any of these hits. No one I have talked to knows what to do about this.

  Do nothing about it... because there is nothing you can do about it. The problem is internal to HP. What you can do is continue to write high quality hubs that make you happy as a writer. Cheer!

Alastar Packerposted 11 years ago
That does appear ominous, Tammy. We both know where at least an attempt at an answer should come from. Sometimes a potentially titled topical hub will see a huge spike in hits- like a celeb or movie in the news or whatever and those huge increases not showing up as views is troubling. Analytics was zip too?

  Analytics didn't show any of these big hits. They weren't on the page stats or traffic sources either. I will just plan by my analytics reports. Thanks!

  davenmidtownposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  It would be next to impossible for HP to match Google in terms of counting impressions and views. It is always better to have an outside accounting of what is measured based on what is paid anyways. I would trust google and refer to that as your chief source of information. HP stats work best to evaluate specific hubs but much of the information is repeated accurately in analytics...
