Interesting if you are not using the HP ad program?
Mine dropped significantly last year and has only partly recovered. Lately there has been some drops in traffic too. It might be one of Google's algorithms has affected your traffic. There was a recent Google update to their algorithm.
Well my earnings weren't great - about 20c a day but they have now dropped to an average of 1c a day - I HATE Googl's algorithims.

In a word: adverts! I was just looking at some older hubs and realised I have lots of Amazon and eBay ads alongside the text or in blocks. I remember doing this now having seen some past high-earner Hubbers having lots of ads on their hubs. I admit I copied the technique thinking maybe this was the...

It might be coincidence, and it's possible everybody else's figures have also dropped by 500%. It's also possible that from being paid out every month for a good few years, I am suddenly not paid out at all.Is this happening to everybody?I told Matt after he banned me that I had no desire for a...
