I know I am probably incredibly out of touch, but I only just noticed that Kontera earnings has disappeared. (It seems to me to have gone, at least).
While I never got anywhere near to payout there, I'm wondering how I could have totally missed this news! When did HubPages stop using it, was there any kind of notification, and is the reason it stopped because most people were not earning well with it?
Thanks.
Good question. I never noticed because I never used it from the beginning. Too many hubbers were complaining about it so I kept it off.
1) June 2011
2) There were multiple notifications.
3) Yes.
This has been talked about loads before in the forum, I didn't see the official thread but the consensus was that people thought it was intrusive on readers viewing
Thanks so much for your replies. Thanks for filling the gaps, I obviously wasn't paying attention.
Thanks QuestionMaster, that served as a great recap! I now know all I need to know.

I have noted a huge drop in Google Adsense earnings starting from today. Traffic has been way up. However, no clicks, CTR zero, and CPC nil. Is the HP Exchange Bidding Dynamic Allocation (EBDA) responsible for this glitch or is it Google Adsense bug?

I have noticed that for the past few weeks, especially this past seven day period, that my earnings per view has dropped dramatically. On an average, for the year I have been here, even during the slump viewing times, I would earn approximately .50 per 100 page views. That is a give or...

Why is it that for the same number of views (sometimes more number of views), earnings from Adsense have been really low for most days this month? Is anyone else experiencing this?
