How many of you hubers out there are finding your hubpage income going down,to your surprise?
Me, hubpages is doing a lousy job of search engine optimization. They should just let us do it ourselves and cut it out. Some of us know more about this kind of stuff than all of them combined not myself but I know some SEO wizzes on here.
My HubPages income is exactly half of what it was 2 months ago - very disappointing.
I think it is matter of demand and supply. Publisher's population is increasing at a faster rate that that of advertisers and end users. It will be very interesting to see the statistics if any of my fellow hubber can provide as a separate Hub. No doubt income is going down substantially by approx 40% of my earnings last year.
It's going down, but not to my surprise. HubPages has issues with quality, especially old hubs that were written 4-5 years ago before Google revamped its algorithm to reduces the number of low-quality and spam pages that appeared in search results. Lots of poorly written articles on HP means less traffic for all of us, which means lower earnings.

I'll let you in on a little secret I discovered to get my earnings back up: Taking most of my articles off HP and reposting them on sites where I make more money :0
I have been here a year and have never made much, but now I'm making less because although views are up, CPMs are way down. This month I had 500 more impressions than last month and earned $5 less. Worse yet, I missed my payout by 49 cents! Gotta love it!
Hi,sorryabout that TIMETRAVELER2 have you tried to find out from hubpage management what the hecks goin' on,When you think Google is a multibillion dollar organisation,(and growing fast),doesn't make sense. Question-is Adsense tryg to depopulize hp?
Honestly, if it went up I would be surprised...no one loves me, no one visits my hubs...I'm sad.

This is partly a spin off of my previous question: about being addicted to hubpages. But, I am now more curious about how often people go to H.P. during the week. Just wondering if there are more people who check into the hubpages community on a daily basis or on a weekly basis...or...

I already have an active google adsense account. After signing up with hubpage, I wanted to link it to my hub. I received the confirmation email to authorize hubpage to link to my google adsense. However, when I check back with my affiliate settings in hubpage, it is still not set. I've tried to...

Was curious after seeing most of the long term - experienced Hubbers. So thought of doing some research. Topic explains it. Let's try to be truthful here. What really keeps you going on here on HP? Why should Hubpages be the First choice for any Writer? Please try to support your idea with...

Hi,I may be hyper-ventilating (and I will be glad if that is the case) but the numbers for HubPages are really bad in terms of traffic in the last few months. Currently it is an all time low of just 8.5 million views a day. Just about a month back it was 10 million views a day. The site rank has...
