Do views from Google+ count?
I see a lot of different Google traffic sources under traffic sources, but I do not see Google+. Do views from Google+ count? Thank you for answering.
Absolutely! Views from Google + come from the following URL:
plus.url.google.com
If you look in Google Analytics, you will see visits from that URL, espcecially if you are an active Google + user who posts links to their hubs.
Hi Robbie, thank you so much for answering! Oh, great! I did not know where to look, so thank you very much!
espcecially if you are an active Google + user who posts links to their hubs.
I get the user part but post to what hubs?
Hi cebutouristspot, that is great to know! Wonderful. I did not know if it is worth placing links there.
Definitely! Google plus views are as valuable as Google.com views. The big G likes to see the use of the G+ and pushes more traffic your way.
Did you know that blogs and websites with the G+ button get a bigger push than those without? If you check your Google scorecard in your Adsense account you will notice that Google recommends the use of it as a part of its optimizing features.
Hi Cardisa, thank you so much for the great information here and image of where to locate it! No, I did not know such, so thank you very much. Have a great day.
They sure do count. G+ is powerful. You get a great many views through it and that is important to what you have posted.
Hi Gypsy, thank you for answering. I am glad to know now, as I really could not tell from my traffic search exactly where it shows up. Have a great week!

Possibly I overlooked the answer to this question in the forums, but I have noticed over the past three weeks at least, a significant drop of at least half of my traffic views during this period. And of course a significant drop in my earnings. Are other writers in the community...

Just curious how many pages views a day some of you are receiving. I'm up to about 300 a day on my content.

Each week I get an email stating I had a great week on Twitter with tons of views, sometimes into the thousands. Having stated that, where do the views from Twitter show up under our Traffic Sources on our Account page? I see Pinterest, Google, Facebook, etc., but I do not see anything...

88 Views in an hour?Alright so the question is what happened to receive so many views in such a short time. Well frankly, I don't know. My "Account Settings" Is showing two red triangles and the 1 day traffic as 88. I went to the Hub to see what it said and it says 39 views, but isn't...

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?
