This ad only shows on hubs after they have had more than 100 hits. This was introduced as an 'experiment' several months ago, without proper explanation. This denies revenue to the author for no benefit. It would seem to focus users on the 'Related Search' Ads for which the revenue is not shared - is that the purpose? The claimed boost in traffic needs to be demonstrated and justified against the loss of income which is real. If less ads boosts traffic then why aren't the related search ads pulled as well?
Please restore this ad at outset and restore the revenue that the author could receive from it. In times of low traffic - every penny counts. This is a disincentive for adding new hubs. This is the most important ad from the author's point of view as it is positioned so close to the text and title. Please restore it . Thanks
The Learning center shows this ad. No mention of why it is removed for the period of the first 100 clicks. Why should an author be denied the revenue share from this ad during the first 100 views by users for the article?

Hubpages has chosen to place a skyscraper ad directly to the right of our content. Then they placed their own search ads directly below that which means that the share buttons are less visible as many people will not see them that far below buried under those ads.I am imploring Hubpages staff and...

Dear HubPages, A significant number of folks that write for your website have experienced a75-90% loss in traffic and revenue. Therefore, YOU have lost a significant amount of money in the last week. The reports are widespread, as far as traffic goes. All I ask is that...

My top traffic article which used to get 2000 views per day for years has now dropped further down the rankings from its featured spot on Google and traffic is now around 60 views per day. If I turn off ads so people can actually read it and get past the "content continues below" barrier...
