Hi All, long time no see!
How is everyone? After a quick look at the forums I only noticed two names I recognized. Guess that's what happens after a couple years absence. Anyway, the reason for my post:
Just updated my profile to coordinate with my other newly set up sites and I realized that I've forgotten much, especially about AdSense and the referral trackers - are they one and the same, or are they different? I understand I earn money from the referral trackers if someone clicks and signs up, but does this have anything to do with the ads, clicks, impressions, sales that show up on my adsense account? How do I enable AdSense on my other internet sites? (I believe it's already on my blog, because I set that up way back then, too. Just haven't used it)
Thanks!
Yes, if your referrals are earning Adsense income then you'll see that on your Adsense account.
Nowadays most Hubbers are signed up for the HP Earnings Program which means there's only one Adsense account on each Hub, right at the bottom of the Hub - so there isn't much Adsense income to share.
I don't believe I'm signed up for it, because I've been inactive for the past few years. So this means that if I do sign up for it then my original adsense account would be deactivated on my hubs, right?
No, it doesn't deactivate your Adsense account. Both run in tandem.

I have not learned what referral trackers are for? Can someone please point me to a forum post that talks about this? Or if there is no historical post about this can someone tell me what this is and how does it benefit a hubber? I am asked to create one but I don't know how to do that and what to...

I have read everything I can, mostly through HP, about referral trackers and how to set them up but I still am struggling with this. Is there a "Referral Tracker for Dummies". I have no previous knowledge of this and I would love a step by step instruction guide. A lot of the instructions...

Trying to see if I understand this correctly. The trackers only work from outside of HP, correct? So if I have a new affiliate tracker on my profile page or in a hub, it's worthless to me, right? And if I link from one of my hubs to someone else's via a traffic tracker, again, it does me no good,...

I have at least 5 referral trackers for those who wish to sign up.I have a total of 25 sign ups. This is good. However, those who have signed up are not blogging, or there is no traffic. Are these people ghosts?What is the sense of having these trackers, and someone signs up and doesn't participate...

I'm wondering if referral trackers are still used to refer traffic to your hubs. I've tested them out and they didn't show the clicks at all. I understand that there might not be any signup, but thought that the clicks should be registered.
