   I was just wondering how many people are interested in the 500 invites sent out to sample the new adds available for a test run   and who has been invited.
   
   Who are one of the select few?  Care to reveal?

            Okay, I guess I read your post wrong. However, if it matters Katie, I already respect you, both as a writer and a woman. So, if Hubpages doesn't show you the love, then get back to me and we'll figure out what to do from there.

      I'd invite you to do a whole lot more than just sample a few ads.

      The test run has been in place with 9 hubbers in a private beta since mid January. Now this is, I guess, a public beta.
      
      Quite possibly the 500 people includes the 9 hubbers, as I got invited again to the same account that was involved in the private beta.
      
      My wife got an invite too.

   Why do you say obvious Katie? - I got an invitation and I was very surprised - I thought perhaps it was because I am in UK and maybe they want to see how it does in different countries?

   i got invited- and signed up - even though my revenue is marginal and then i got sad tonight when they told me they had suspended hub for irrelevant tags, title etc- have modified it - but feeling glum  cos its the first short story i ever wrote- i think they call it faction where a story is based on fiction!
   
   Never mind, I am sure it will sort out

      It sure will its just a process.  I wish they'd flag all the junk hubs on here and leave little worry to good content like yours.  Keep your chin up those category flags are a common trigger and an easy fix.

   You can find out if you have been invited by going to your account page --> Earnings -->Affiliate Settings. If you see a space marked HubPages Ad Program in your list, you can sign up there.

         Neither Tom or I were picked this time around...we get the same thing you do!
         
         It would've been nice if one of us had--especially Tom, since he's been on here so long, and has a bunch more hubs than I do--just so we could see how it goes, since we've never been too successful with Google Adsense...
         
         I guess I'm going to have to remember that saying that I always drilled into my kids' heads while they were growing up..."Patience is a Virtue"...lol
