Hi there,
this goes out to all hubpages users.
I have found my adsense CTR is falling . It used to be <snipped - violation of AdSense TOS> now its somewhere around <a lower figure> and falling.
IF you guys would like to share your figures that would be nice.
Seeing as it is impossible to change the positioning of the adsense boxes I have no idea how to increase the % ( OK find appealing keywords with good ads of course )
Thanx
3 weeks and 11 hubs seems premature to be worrying about stats like CTR (unless you have a more seasoned user name with lots of hubs). I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary at HubPages at the end of this month, but my hubs are still “new” in terms of hub life. I only recently passed 100K total views for my hubs.
I didn’t even sign up for AdSense until I was 3 months here at HP. Lissie and others advised this at a time when a lot of hubbers were being denied by AdSense. I’m glad I waited because earnings at that point were minimum, and I saved myself 3 months of obsessively looking at disappointing stats!
All that said, I believe I recall sunforged stating recently that average click through rate was 1% to 4%. And I think Mark Knowles quoted HP staff as stating average eCPM was $2-$5.
I suggest you make a chart of your end of month AdSense hub stats, and see if they trend upwards. Don’t obsess on daily fluctuations.

i am personally feeling that and also have been read in some popular blogs that earning from adsense is falling because most of the peoples are aware about adsense ads now a days and thats why they dont like to click on ads what you say?

Yesterday I was confidant that e-mailing HP staff would result in the ads being turned back on, on the four hubs (and counting) of mine that have had their ads disabled. This was not the case, and I was told by HP staff that all four would remain ad-less for being against the Google TOS.Do...

When writing sometimes I like to put a little more emphasis on things. I do make some short stories that I would like to put on Hubpages but I do not know if cursing is allowed.

Is it against HubPages rules to post erotic art work?I have photographed hundreds of years old erotic stone and wood carvings displayed in the temples in Nepal. And I want to use the pictures on my hubs.

I was under the impression that posting a begging "please come read my hub so it doesn't get unfeatured" type post on other sites was at the very least, frowned upon, if not in direct violation of the TOS.If so, I cannot find that reference, for I have just come across such a post on Face...
