Brand New, and totally confused..

   Heather Trippposted 11 years ago

   Okay, I just signed up like two seconds ago, and I am seriously confused. I can figure it all out (I think for the most part) on my own, once I get reading into everything, but I have one major question that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere.
   
   Do I have to have a google adsense account to earn money? Because for some reason, apparently google hates me, and I have NOT been able to create an account with them. Is this like no adsense account, no earnings at all??
   
   And, what's this Amazon and Ebay stuff? I get that is more optional, but if brings in more money, I'll do it, because I am a single mom of two and every little bit helps.
   
   Thanks guys!!

      If you don't have a Google adsense account yet. you just need to start creating high quality hubs here and then after a few weeks or so, apply directly through Hubpages itself!
      
      Write now users on the site are experiencing many problems with traffic. I wouldn't bother worry about that part if I were you. The best thing you could do for yourself is just start writing and the rest will come!

      Amazon Associates is an affiliate network with Amazon's official network on the web, and so is the Ebay affiliate program here on hubpages.
      
      You will need to establish and active account with both those entities in order to earn from utilizing their ads here, and to place them into action onto your hub articles.
      
      As for Google's Adsense is concerned try to start a brand new account on their network, they shall allow you to do so, if and only if you haven't violated their contract there. I have multiple gmail accounts, and they allow us to do so, and my Adsense if different from them all, so to separate them from one another, and not to confuse myself with all the email activities and networking there.
      
      Maybe you need to try that, it works wonders for me, and mainly because I own an online business as well, which is official. If Google still give you trouble, then try to contact their administrators there, to investigate as to why your identity has been marked as having a potential issue with them.
      
      Hubpages will pay you out via PayPal, as for hubpages earning is concerned, and so you will also need to have a verified active Paypal account, which is stream lined, and in sync with your official Bank Account, you choose to verify with them (Adsense also does the same, in terms of verification purposes regarding banking information, and to secure your personal information as well).
      
      Good Luck! Heather Tripp
      
      Note:
      
      If you need any other assistance you can contact me directly from inboxing (emailing) me here on hubpages, which can be done off of  anyone's hubpages profile, using the 'My Profile' Link, then searching for the 'Fan Mail' area (Lower right of the screen), then by clicking the link there that says 'Fan Mail', and walla you'll see the inbox option [send {HP user name} email]

         Wow, now I know how my technology challenged mother always feels!! You would think I have never used a computer before in my life. Holy Crap! LOL
         
         I think I got it... I went through hubpages, and tried signing into whatever that crazy mess was that google did, and surprise surprise, now I have a code next to Google Adsense in my Hubpage account page.
         
         I also submitted my tax info and linked my paypal address. And I do believe I am enrolled in Hubpages ad program now. I see now why some of the reviews I read about Hubpages said it was confusing. That certainly was.
         
         All that is left is to link in with Amazon and Ebay. I already have a seller's account with Amazon, and a buyers and sellers with Ebay, so it should help some that I am already familiar with their sites.
         
         Here's a question though- do I have to insert the ads, or will Google do that all by itself? (And Amazon and Ebay)
         
         Thanks!!

      To put it politely, there is no money on HubPages.  You must work for 1 year, working 12 hrs a day tweaking hubs to start earning your first dollars. Don't believe what the coven tell you. You may get trapped. This website is a rental. Better to have your own house that have a landlord.

                           Shoo, it's a good thing I wasn't expecting Hubpages to make me rich! I've been writing online for years, I know how slow the start up can be. I'm not looking at the small picture of life. I'm looking at the big picture- all my hard work now will eventually pay off in the long run. Whether through Hubpages or some of the other websites I write for. Right now, my kids are 7 and 8... If what you say is true, then by the time they are 8 and 9, I'll be seeing some pay off. Perfect. All I wanted was some extra cash to be able to take them out for treats now and then. It's nice to know they will still be young enough for me to do that!

                                       I see, you just like creeping on the forums in Hubpages to try to cause problems and discourage others. Perhaps if you devoted as much time to your hubs as you do to "not being here" you would actually make money. But hey, what you do with your time is your business. Personally, I think I'll use my time for something more productive than debating things with you.

   You definitely need to insert the Ad's Heather, the option comes available once you begin creating a hub using the Hub tool they call it.
   
   From there you will notice a thing known as hub capsules, to the right of the screen, and it shall allow you to add the Amazon, as well as Ebay capsules, as you see fit, as well as provide options on how to grab the content from the web, or insert it directly.

   First thing: I wasn't able to get an Adsense account until I had written about 10 Hubs. You need to show that you have a site, and content, to advertise on. Right now, you have no Hubs, so nothing to advertise.
   
   Second: Amazon and Ebay capsule allow you to create your own Amazon and Ebay ads to link on your Hubs. If you write a Hub about knitting, you can put an ad catered to that; such as, linking to yarn for sale, or knitting needles. Or you can link to products you specifically mention, such as "I used Elmer's Glue to..." And link to the glue you used.
   
   Thirdly: You don't need adsense to make money, but it's one of the main ways people earn. I get daily earnings from it. It is definitely worth looking into when you get more established.

       If you have content elsewhere on the web you must remove it, wait until the search engines de-index it, and then you can post it here. If you try to post it here while it is published elsewhere you'll get dinged for duplicate content.

       To move any content in terms of written published works, you must make sure that such content is completely removed (deleted entirely) from any  web locations that you've decided to publish such content at such as Helium.
       
       Also give it enough time for Google's search engines to completely remove it from being listed as originating from such a location on the web.
       
       Some folks have had issues with it all, and they've been flagged for duplicate content on Hubpages, but to be sure maybe give it a week or so, some folks have said 48 hours might do the trick & soon after they've deleted such content from those given locations to make such a move.

       Yes it seems rough, but there's many reasons for the staff here to do so, I have a basic understanding that duplicate content is considered to be illegal on Google, and on the web as a whole pretty much, but definitely on hubpages its a huge issue, because people have been infringing on copyrights a great deal all across the web.
       
       Try reading the hubpages 'Terms of use' and I'll post a some links below of official hubpages resources to help you get a better handle on things as a whole. 
       
       All of your questions you've asked have even more accurate direct answers built into the hubpages 'Learning Center' which you can locate from hovering over your profile name 'Top of the Website' which exposes a link there if you haven't yet noticed it entitled 'Learning Center'.

             Cool stuff & Good luck on your Voyage here Heather. 
             
             I hope you find hubpages to be a great fit for you, I just completed a wonderful first year here and met some of the most amazing hub authors, made some specular friendships and all.
             
             One thing though is, I'm still considered a newbie to most hub veterans & I still feel like it too haha, and as you can see, I'm also still learning things mostly.
             
             I do need to learn to focus much more attention on all that's being communicated here on these posts. I can tell though with all that being said, you will do great here, because you ask good questions, and never hesitate to do so, there's loads of good people here to help you too. Enjoy!

       Copied content doesn't get crawled well by search engines, anyway. If you want more revenue, be original    ...even if it is YOU, haha. The search engines don't know that.

       Welcome to hubpages, Heather. You remind me of where I was 5 weeks ago when I joined HP, lost, confused, and tech-challenged. You are very lucky to have good hubbers help you out. All the questions you raise, and frusrations you expressed  I can totally relate to. It will get better and all work out. I have 16 hubs now, collecting a few pennies from HP earnings, and some accolades from community involvement. Make writing your priority, all else will flow. Good luck on hp, I look forward your 1st hub.

    Thank you!
    
    It's kinda funny to me, cause of my whole family, I am the one who has the technology mind. (I don't know if you guys can believe that after today or not, but I swear it's true!) My mother used to call me from Delaware where she lives, in Colorado where I was living, and go "Okay, I see this on my screen what do I do?" or "Oops, I don't know what happened, I pushed a button and everything is gone!" My dad is just starting out on computers, so I gave him my laptop. He wanted to buy one, but he was terrified that he would do something to mess it up, and just be out all the money. He finally agreed to take mine when I told him there was nothing he could do to it that I couldn't fix. Even if he crashed it, I know how to fix it. I've done it about three times on this computer already. I swear, I know technology. However, start talking ads and codes to me, and it may as well be gibberish!! LOL
    
    I am hoping to have my first hub up tomorrow evening sometime if all goes well. I was going to attempt it tonight, but... I just don't think that is going to happen. Slightly upsetting as patience is so not my virtue. I'm to tired now to write, so I'm just brainstorming article ideas. I'll check back in with you and let you know how I made out creating my first hub. (Judging from the warning over there on the left, I won't be posting a link to it or anything.. I'll just let you know how I made it through the process.) I think I will be fine though...
    
    Have a great night everyone, and thank you all for bearing with me in my confused state of mind earlier! LOL

    Hey people I need you all too. Have written well over 19 hubs and got abt 9 rejected yet google kept rejecting me. I need the adsense code so I could use on my blog as well. I started out here 2weeks ago and I taught having over 10hubs would get me my adsense approval. I need y'all seriously. CloudExplorer, Lucid, Cyber law and other. You can see my hubs.

       Hi Douglas, welcome to hubpages. I can relate to you as well, was so there a few weeks ago, I'm still recovering. I ended up getting my adsense account straightened out after about 3 weeks and maybe 10 hubs. It was grueling as I am tech-challenged. At one point, I felt like throwing in the towel and writing on hubpages for free for the fun of it. But I didn't give up and kept pressing buttons like Heather's mom. There is still much I don't get but confident I will get it as I keep producing good hubs. The way I got things fixed (after having to get a new google username and password) is I applied outside of hp for an account on my business website. Then you end up joining those two accts. I also found out that a lot of the "pending" time had to do with my ignorance and not google rejecting me. There were steps regarding the acct/taxID/bank/verification stuff that I had to figure out and complete on my own. Then everything was fine. I hope this helps. I'm still only making pennies but that's cool for now.

       I saw 9 hubs on your profile, are the others unpublished hubs or are they invisible to us all? Google is serious about not allowing poor quality content onto the web, and so I have yet to try out any of your hubs, I just would like to say maybe try reading, and discovering the best hubs here of veteran hubbers to get a much better idea of how to create them.
       
       Also study up on the Hubpages Learning Center, it works wonders Douglas, either way people will eventually try out your hubs, but if they aren't good quality your traffic will not pick up much here on hubpages.
       
       Meaning you must do your homework to learn how to correctly create a hub article that is attractive enough, your hubs need to have great SEO, relevant keywords, and loads more, which you'll find by researching the info from the Hubpages 'Learning center'.
       
       I'll provide a link for you to see what it takes to create a 'Stellar Hub' below.

       Douglas, I read some of your poems. You have great ideas, your passion and feeling comes through clearly. However, you need upload images and add some links to make your hubs more appealing. You also need to enhance the impact of the experience on your readers by sharpening your basic skills, paying more attention to spelling and grammar. I suggest you create your own forum thread on your challenges as a new hubber so you can get your own feedback outside of Heather's. Good luck!

          Great Feedback response Janshares, you seem to be a level minded person, and very kind with your words. He definitely need assistance by many of us all, so I second the motion you suggested to him about him starting his very own forum for such help.
          
          I will help him there and in his hubs from this point forward, thanks Janshares for helping him as well, we all need to pull together at times to do such things, because each and every hubber as a whole can make a difference for one another.
          
          Cool Bean! Oh and its nice to have met up with your words as well on hubpages.

             As you are from Nigeria, there is a good chance that your HubPages account or other domain must be at least 6 months old before AdSense will consider your application.

                         It is advisable to have substantial quality content prior to applying for AdSense. The 6-month rule is not official Google policy, and there is a lack of transparency, so it is hard to tell what the facts are. Indian and Chinese bloggers have also been approved quickly in some cases. As for you, people can judge for themselves whether you are a newbie or not. Glad to have responded to your query.

       Welcome to HubPages. AdSense ads are always running on hubs. As long as you have not activated your own AdSense account, HubPages will get 100% of the page impressions and associated revenue. Once your account is up and running, you will get 60%, HubPages 40%.

       If you choose you can deactivate the Adsense ad's, it can be done by using the 'Hub Tool' while creating a hub, and go to the Hub capsules area.
       
       From the Hub capsules area (Right of the screen) click 'settings', and from there you will be presented an option to shut off the Adsense ad's. Click the Down arrow next to the term 'Ad level', and then select 'None'.
       
       Also uncheck the 'This hub may be considered commercial' button there as well.
       
       I hope this helps you Christa Michelle, at least until you can manage to get approved by Google Adsense.
       
       Give it some time, and you'll get accepted for sure into their program, you also need to verify your bank account info with them, besides earning position on the web to prove your articles worthiness, unless you have other web locations to represent your status as a web editor/designer/blogger etc.... Good Luck!

       I think you asked Google Why, according to your question, and you also asked can anyone explain what is going on pretty much with Google Adsense, and so Cyber Lawyer actually provided you with a sufficient answer based on his or her best knowledge I do believe.
       
       I hope my info helps as well, but Cyber Lawyer is 100% correct, Adsense will run on hubs no matter what, unless you decide to deactivate them, which I provided the procedure for you up above.
       
       Have you tried to join Adsense through hubpages, or outside of it? If you done so through hubpages, give it some time, keep writing, and things should work out for ya, and especially if you did all the verifications and all with Google already.
       
       Good Luck, and maybe you could also start a forum of your own to get even more help, chat with ya soon, and I;ll give your hubs a try soon as well. Oh & Welcome to hubpages Christa, you will have fun writing here for sure just keep them hubs coming at us, and we will keep reading them as well as sharing them for ya. Peace!
