What is your opinion of your current, relative AdSense $$ performance? Both here (if on straight AdSense) and/or on your own website? Side note: due to permanent HP-AdSense interface glitch, the RPM data is invalid and useless.
[Do not mention specific numbers. That is a TOS no-no.]
Mine was doing fairly well recently, but now has dropped off (on my own site). But I'm experimenting with a secondary ad program that runs part of the time on one of my sites, so I'm thinking this might have something to do with it.
My Adsense earnngs have been excellent since I made the switch back in April. However, due to the recent glitch, they have temporarily disappeared! Will be switching back to the HP program temporarily until the glitch is fixed,but will go right back to Adsense once I see things are OK again. I have almost doubled last years earnings!
I'll start.
Not bad, not good; just kind of muddling along.
Better on here than on my own website. Not a living amount but better than nothing.
There have been two major complaints on another thread as to a sudden and major AdSense decline. Check your settings to see if still active, https://hubpages.com/my/earnings/affiliate/ This is not the first time this glitch has happened where the settings were suddenly deactivated for no apparent reason.
I just checked the setting, my Google Adsense is still active there. I also checked Google Analytic and I noted that views are increasing. However, nothing is earned. I have lost over 95% earnings. Let me add that I didn't join the HP Adsense.
Meanwhile, my own AdSense is continuing to not impress me and I keep seeing the rave reviews about the HP ads CPM on the other thread. Beginning to look like it's time for me to clear out of straight AdSense Town for awhile.

Update.
Undid it.
I decided I've punished Google enough. Turned the ads back on.
As for hubs, staying with the HP Ad Program until given a reason to do otherwise.
I likewise switched back to HP Ads yesterday. the results this morning were rather amazing. Maybe AdSense is on strike because HP came up with a better advertising program than Google has.
The good news. Best Buy is advertising their little hearts out this Veteran's Day weekend.
The bad news. I am reasonably certain my website AdSense is now as screwed up as the HP AdSense.

In the past I relied solely on Adsense to earn income from Hubpages, however this year I was able to finally open a PayPal account, so I signed up for the Hubpages Ad program. As expected, I saw a drop in my Adsense earnings, but now it's practically non-existent. I was earning a couple dollars...

Is google adsense only paying for clicks and not impressions? My adsense earnings have almost gone down to nothing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Currently I'm signed up with Google Adsense and I've been debating whether I should sign up for the Hubpages Earning Program because I'm hesitant to give out my tax information. Or should I worry about this only after I have a decent amount of traffic coming to my hubs?
