Hi all,
Just wondering if I can turn off ads on all my hubs and just focus on Amazon affiliates? I am banned from the adsense programme(not sure why) and have always had better luck with Amazon.
Thanks
Kevin
I'm pretty sure you can't do that if you want to have amazon capsules. The hub has to be either commercial (with ads) or non-commercial (without any ads at all).
Correct! It's not a global option, so it will have to happen on a Hub-by-Hub basis, but it is definitely doable.
68 hubs is a lot to go through. What if the ads aren't disabled? Because he's banned from Adsense, would any revenue from clicks go to HubPages?
Thank you all for your replies, trying to turn around my account. I haven't done much with it since Panda. I am moving away from adsense and focusing on Amazon, I always earned more through this. Do you think this is a wise strategy?
Depends on the writer. I make some from Amazon; about a quarter of what I do with HPads. For me it would not be wise.
I have occasionally turned off my ads when the formatting goes funny on the page - but if you're looking for an income, then obviously do not turn them off
Fact is he was banned from Adsense. I'm not sure, but if you don't have an Adsense account, doesn't that mean you can't display HP ads (I don't use them)? HP ads display 1 adsense ad on your hub. So as I understand it, and I may be wrong, if you don't have adsense, you can't use HP ads, or EBay for that matter. And there's no point in displaying any ads on your hubs if the revenue is only going to HubPages, and none of it's coming your way. Just my opinion. Just use amazon, OP.
You're right - no Adsense, no HP Earnings program. That just leaves Amazon and personally, I wouldn't even bother writing on HubPages if I had to depend on Amazon.

If we turn off HubPages Ads and replace them with one Amazon Ad would our ability to earn decent money be compromised? Would we still earn from Adsense? Could someone please explain the different scenario's to me so that I can better judge and understand which option is better for...

I once received a warning that switching off ads on one of my pages was against TOS because the page was considered commercial. It was a long, deeply boring and rather technical effort concerning Synthetic Biology (google if you dare).I deleted the page (it never got any views anyway).Now Paul...

I have a love/hate relationship with Adwords and Adsense.A lot of times it's great - and at other times I think it's just plain dumb to use it. For example, in cases where the ads that will be served up would be in conflict with the purpose of the page on which they appear.One of my hubs discusses...

I'm sure I'm not alone in this. When I open a page I do not want it to start talking to me or playing music unless I press play. I really hate those adverts that are like a TV advert and appear on the page, and start playing without being clicked. Especially if I have multiple tabs / windows open...

I started work on my new hub this evening..."Climate Change and it's Effect on the Erogenous Zones"and got the message ads disabled. As one (yes, only one) of my hubs is already in its first rewrite and resubmitted after being described as sub standard I thought I wouldn't risk...

I recently have had some problems with a few of my hubs that the ads had been disabled on automatically. I queried this in order to try to get the adverts restored because the content was not obscene, but had it explained to me that although not obscene, they are considered unsuitable for adverts...
