Google Adsense and Hubpages Revenue Linked
Is Google Adsense Linked To Hubpages Revenue?
Strange Sightings on Hubpages
Over the past few weeks I've visited my own Hubpages and found them looking strange and odd. I didn't know who to ask or where to go for help concerning this matter. I've also wondered whether other people had the same experience.
The screen captures below illustrate what's been going on. I haven't done anything about this situation, as I'm not one to complain, nor do I feel much can be done about this situation.
Sometimes I think Hubpages goes through growing pains, making behind the scenes changes.
I must admit one thing has definitely changed for me on Hubpages and this affects the category of advertising. Thus, in addition to the strange behavior and views of my pages, I'm wondering if Hubpages removes all income from HP Advertising in the cases where Google Adsense is removed. There! I said it, and you now know that just like some of my other HP friends who have lost their Google Adsense accounts and potential income, you can count me in on that list, as well. And, I know some people will try to fight this situation, or start up new accounts, but I feel this waste of time will not get you anywhere.
Google rules the earth, although they will in time lose their reign and some other entity will be king of the hill as technology continues to move as break neck speed.
Take a look below and let me know what you think, any ideas or suggestions? The first image shows the potential category selections for this HP about strange looking Hubpages layouts.


If This Were Your Hubpages Under What Category Would You Place It?
I often have a hard time choosing just the right category for my Hubpages and thought maybe you might give me a hand.

When Starting A New HubPages Article
You are supposed to enter the appropriate category listing and topic for your Hubpages when you begin the entry. I tried to search under "HubPages" as that is the major topic. The choices are listed above. Do you see anything that pertains to this issue of strange views? I'm not sure you would call it glitches or errors. Perhaps the illustrations below are perfectly fine, but I'm not used to them, since they may be reserved for members who don't have any Adsense accounts.

Proper Hubpages Layout With All Elements In Place

Suddenly Contains Violations
Suddenly out of the blue, these perfectly fine Hubpages contain violations. You know its getting so that the Google Kingdom seems to rule heavy with a heavy hand. Anything they do not like gets the boot. Kicked right out of their little Fiefdom.
The problem with blue background Hubpages I just learned is due to some type of violation, although it does not always show up in your dashboard warnings. And, strangely this has been occurring to a number of Hubpages way before this week when we received the notice as shown below.
Please note this message when you go to your dashboard on Hubpages:
-
Possible erroneous Hub violation symbol | A bug is making some Hubs show the red skull warning erroneously. If your Hubs are compliant with our rules, then please ignore the red skulls for now. (You can see if clicking the "Check for Violations Now" button at the bottom helps make them disappear in the meantime; it has for some. If it does not, please be patient as we work on a fix.)

Example of Hubpages With Blue Circuitry Background

As If That Was Not Bizarre Enough Take A Look At This
As a Mac user, I sometimes change the view mode from distant to closer up. Distant to see the entire layout of the page; and closer up to read the type with larger letters.
Take a look at this little quirk in the system. When I zoom out to see the entire page, all but the story in the middle column disappear and show just a total white background. What do you make of this?
Maybe "Windows" users don't have this problem at all?



More Changes Underway In 2012
As Hubpages authors we can now choose different selections and categories for our work. Will you choose the video, recipes, or other types of categories. Even if you haven't, your old pages will now have a different kind of format. Take a look at the two images below.
1) My Spring Mushroom Recipe Hubpages has automatically been recategorized. The page looks nothing like when I originally composed it and the similar types of articles have shifted from the right hand column to the center column within the main article. It's almost as if when we use the LINKS CAPSULE they have been integrated within the center of the HP.
2) Someone has designed a light grey watermarked background to designate the type of Hubpages you are reading. At this time, all you see is the grey background with all other missing and identifying information about the author missing. I assume this will be fixed some time in the future.

For long time Hubpages members, you will be very familiar with the option to VOTE UP or DOWN on each article. However, I just visited Mark Ewbie's Pinterest Hubpages and the new format appears as shown below. His other related or similar Hubpages now listed below and NO VOTE BUTTON. There remains the option to choose the type of rating from interesting, useful to awesome and beautiful.

Hubpages May Be In Your Life Today
You know I'm thinking to myself, why continue to write on Hubpages without any reward of income. I was actually doing quite well before the fiasco.
The truth be told, the Hubpages community has wonderful people who share, converse and support each other through thick and thin.
What other community would be so welcoming, have the fun games to play in the forum, advocate with passion about their favorite topics, leave remarkable comments and additional information, share tweets and FaceBook links and have contests and virtual parties?
What's it all About? This Hubpages highlights some unusual activity on this network, that I'm sure will be ironed out before we know it. However, I wanted to get some feedback from other HP members to see if they were having the same issues.

I operate on a very simple theory..."Never go to the back of the cave to see the bats if there are some hanging around the entrance"....hopefully that approach still works here. Too often, there are too many changes which are simply because something has not changed in a while...seldom does it improve anything. The "intent" and the "resulting effect" are not measured which gives me much insight into HP. ~WB
Thanks Debby,
I appreciate the additional feedback. I wasn't too sure if once you decided to "earn" money, if they would include the hubs you have already published.
God bless. In His Love, Faith Reaper
I have noticed very strange ongoings here on HP, and I just keep thinking I have missed an HP email or something and, therefore, clueless. Thank you for bringing this all into the light, as it appears most of us are still in the dark and it may not be our own fault. Since the power outage, it seems to me things have not been right, and so that is what I have been thinking it is. I will scroll down and I do not see any ads anywhere, but out of the blue one starts playing!!! Strange!!! When that happens, I get out of that hub as fast as I can, even before leaving a comment. The ads are so incorporated into the hubs, one cannot really tell if it is an ad or part of the hub. Crazy! I am not ready to write to make money yet, but now with all these changes, do not know if I ever will be ready here. As you suggested, I will share.
Thanks again for the info, Faith Reaper
...I really don't know what all of this means my dear Debby of the Divine but I do know one thing you always know how to put together a world class hub presentation and you rank right up there with the best of the best - I have learnt from you in the past and your inspiration must encourage and support others as well. I really don't give a hoot in heck (lol) about silly hub scores as I haven't made one single penny here since I started so call me dumb (lol) a maverick, a rebel or just a creative anomaly - but I am always so pleased when you bless my hub with your presence as you did tonight - I am sincerely sending you warm wishes and good energy from blustery lake erie time ontario canada 10:23pm and please keep in touch with me - you are a brilliant lady and I look up to you.
Absolutely Brilliant Debbie. Your astute analysis, balanced feedback and wonderful illustrations show all the hard work you put in for the love of the craft more than money. I appreciate the hubpages as an organsiation needs to undergo growing pain as it changes to deal with external pressures and algorithm changes. Engaging and involving the community that produces the hubs is the right way forward. You are a sterling example of objective and constructive feedback. Bravo! I love your spirit and verve. Cos you're a positive soul very much like me!voted up and across ( and hope they all stay visible!)
Hi Debby,
It must be very frustrating for those of you on hubpages that are signed up with google adsense.
Sharing this one with my followers.
Voted up and interesting.
Take care :)
I noticed pages with nothing in the right column. No profile pic, info and no ads. The author's name is just the link below the hub title. And NO vote UP as you say. I think it looks cheap, boring and awful. Another is on some I've noticed on some there is no avatars on the comments, so friends are not easily recognised at a glance. Don't like that at all, feels like they stole our personalities.
Wow Debby - I have had bizarre stuff going on...I did a fashion hub (simply so that i could see the new format:) lol I have zero ads down the side - I did before and do not now!
I hope everything goes back to normal for you and thanks so much for all your hard work looking into this. I suppose I will just wait and see what happens!
I have noticed some hubs with blank ad spaces, but thought it was a browser problem. I think HP is in the process of updating and sometimes it does cause some glitches to appear. Thanks for the information and insight.
Thank you Debby, for your Hub "Strange Bizarre Unusual HP Behavior Inspires A Diamante Poem" - see my email to HP: Dear HubPages Team, Where is my Comment to the following Hub?
Chinese Herbal Medicine - The History of Chinese Herbalism 02/04/12 and to this reply I received: Jerilee Wei Hub Author 2 years ago - Thanks dali48! Having worked in hospital administration, I'm real sure money has tainted the whole health equation. P.S. And what happened suddenly to my 19 published Hubs? Sincerely, dali48
I'm glad I'm not losing my mind! I'd noticed some strange things going on including no Vote Up, or pages with no pictures - not even in the comments sections. I was hoping it was just a glitch and still am.
Thanks for writing this hub and letting me know I'm not yet senile.
Voted up, useful and interesting.
Interesting stuff Debby, I suppose you spend a lot of time here to notice all this happening. Hope all goes well for you :-)
Hi Debby, I had my best month ever last month. Hmm. I received notice that there were issues with HubPages regarding the skull appearances in my account. This seems to be a universal problem. Meanwhile, fun hub to read- I like all the photos and the revealing plot, lol. Good luck.
All my recipe pages don't have ads on them even the ones I did with the new recipe setup. The fashion and technology are weird and no adsense on them. I know their ok all my own stuff on recipes and technology. So I have no idea why they would look like this.
What an interesting hub! I've heard about people losing their Adsense and have wondered what is causing all the closed accounts. Thanks for sharing this information. Take care, Kelley
Yeah, I noticed some sample Hubpages with nothing in the right column. No profile pic, no ads. The author's name was just the link under the title. Not sure how this is an improvement.
So what does tan mean with noting at all on the right side. All ads are gone. I have yet to figure this all out and as I check my hubs I'm finding more and more that look like this way. Even hubs that have my own pictures. This is all very strange and it seems no one is explaining why. Great hub. Hope it doesn't turn blue.
Interesting info, especially for us relative newbies who don't know what the ehll is going on anyway. I can't seem to get an adsense account because they say I had one in another life or something, so money is nto why I am here presently.
I appreciate this Hub though, and am sure it will raise some questions.
