Do I have the ability to control the ads on my Hubs.
I see a lot of ads for Israeli commerce which I certainly do not want on my pages. Is it possible to filter ads?
No. But if it's really important to you...
You can drop HP ads and do strictly AdSense. Then utilize the AdSense ad-blocking tools. I think they only do blocking at the network level, but I haven't worked up the energy to check that in a long time. It will probably take some work and experimentation to accomplish your objective. And depending on how pervading the ads in question are, it might not even be possible.
And if you are successful, my guess is it will only apply for when your 60% share of ads are showing. The HP 40% will party on as usual I believe.
I doubt that you can control the ads that appear on your hubs for the simple reason that Hub Pages ultimately decides which ads appear on their general site. The advertisers pay Hub Pages to show their ads, so there's no way that they would want their ads not appearing on certain hubs. Hub Pages evidently doesn't have a problem displaying the ads in question, so I would be surprised if there was any way to filter-out ads that you disapprove of. And I'm pretty sure that whatever you signed when you joined Hub Pages probably had some caveat that said that they can display any ad on any hub.
Of course, you can drop ads altogether as previously mentioned, or you can leave Hub Pages, but my guess is, other sites like Hub Pages would work the same way regarding which ads are shown.

I was kind of frustrated with my earning for a while. Since last Feb as a matter of fact. Last month I decided to block Google certified ads and my earnings a up 100 last month. I would be really interested to know how this works for other as well. I also blocked...

I checked about a dozen of my Hub posts from recent to older to active and the no-index posts too. None of them are running ads - other than the Amazon and eBay which I added myself. There are no ads placed by HubPages. I thought it was just the no-index posts but it seems to be that way on all of...

I got into an interesting discussion on another thread, and thought it would make a good thread itself. The question of the day is how do you feel about other hubbers clicking on an ad in your hubs?Personally I really don't see a problem with it as long as the ad interests them from a good quality...

I don't know if this is workable or not, it's just a suggestion.However I was just reading a thread about hubbers "rewarding" other hubbers by clicking their adverts. My suggestion: Since we cannot see Kontera adverts while logged in, could the same be applied to Adsense?Obviously there...

Hi all! I have noticed that many of my hubs have many of the same Adsense ads, some of which do not relate to my products at all. Can I specify what ads go into each specific hub? (God that's a lot of work....) Thanks again!

Initially perplexed and frustrated, I have quickly decided Hubpages have brilliant web content protection. They blocked a hub I started to write from generating advertising revenue. Why is this good? Well, as genuine as the hub was, relating to Christmas and presents and my teenage daughter, it was...
