Hi i'm fairly new to HubPages and was wondering how many hubs (good-quality ones) are recommended for one to make before starting the Ad Program or getting accepted to Google AdSense?
I believe it's the HubPages policy that you need to publish at least 5 hubs before you are eligible to sign up to the AdSense program. However, it is then down to Google to make sure you're appropriate for it, they look to see how active you are, how dedicated you are, and how many views you are receiving. So I'd recommend at least 10 decently sized hubs, and to make sure you're uploading them regularly so that they can see that you are actively producing content.
Hope this helps!
Generally I believe it's 15-20. Being in Australia, it should be easier than say India, where you have to wait up to six months.
Check out my hub on SEO for some tips on getting started.
Welcome to Hubpages
Also, don't be disheartened if you are denied first time. If there's some sort of violation you can quite easily sort that out, and if it's still a content issue, just keep producing good hubs, wait a month or so, and try again.
Some people don't get accepted until about 50 hubs
Thanks for the feedback and tips guys,I'm going to try my best to focus on writing as many good hubs for now. Anyone with tips on advertising and earning money on HubPages are welcome to comment as well
Once you get your Adsense account and apply it to your Hubpages account, you don't need to worry about advertising. There are several programs to participate in here that will earn you money.
You're going to want several dozen Hubs that are a couple of months old before you apply for AdSense. Anyone who says you only need five Hubs is several years out-of-date.
I think 20 hubs and 1000+ views will be enough for Adsense

Can you remember what it was like when you first started to write Hubs?Before you read this rambly post - please know that I am not a newbie trying to suck you dry for information without doing any of the work myself. What I'm interested in is how you got through the first few months? How did you...

Just gaging anyone else's earnings here. I just checked google adsense and I have earned 64 dollars in 18 months. I've only written 19 Hubs and most of them don't get any traffic. Any thoughts?

Thanks to ThatMommyBlogger for finding this site and bringing it up in another thread. I think it deserves its own thread to warn HP writers. It looks like a site called 2uidea-dot-com is taking newly published hubs and putting them up as their own at a rapid pace. It appears they have filled their...

I'm curious if anyone has tested by a month to month basis whether or not you make more with Adsense alone or with HP Ads?It's impossible to do a true split test, since each month will be different, but I'm curious to hear your results...Some of us won't get a lot of traffic so Adsense might be...

The chart above (made easily with Excel: check the tools menu / analysis) gives the distribution of daily earnings. Most of days daily earnings is about 0.45.As you can see, it doesn't follow the famous Normal Law in probability ... which is normal : normal law is not obligatory in the real world

Hi,I've signed up and am ready to start making hubs in my specialised subject, but I was wondering what the earning potential of hubbig (if that's a word) actually is. I realise it all depends on how attractive your pages are and how good they are etc, but what are people actually earning? I am not...
