Do you make any profit off your hubs?
If you do, how do you do it? Im new to this and thought I would give it a try.
The easiest way you can earn money through Hubpages is by signing up for Google Adsense and link your Adsense account to Hubpages so that you can earn money from clicks on your ads that show up. Of course, since Hubpages is an revenue-sharing site so you would get about 60% of the ad impressions whereas Hubpages gets the rest. Therefore, if someone clicks on an AD when it's one of your impressions, you get paid for it. You can also earn money using the Amazon capsules, eBay, Kontera, etc. But Adsense is the easiest to setup and earn. Here is a link with the details of how to set up http://hubpages.com/faq/#adsense
In your profile you say "A few clicks on random stuff never hurt anyone..." but I would like to point out that if you are trying to earn money on this site, random stuff is notoriously low-earning.
You'll want to read the three below links to get yourself started. They will explain how the site works, and how to get yourself on track.

Well since you do not have to pay for any hosting or domain costs, not to mention not having to pay any advertising fees, pretty much anything you make here at hubpages can be considered pure profit from a financial standpoint.
Of course if you are going to calculate your time you are going to be surprised. It is important to remember that you can profit from your hubs for months and even years after you write them--so today's time expense will be tomorrows monetary gain.
At least thats how I look at it.

Here's something for you guys to consider, and I am simply reiterating a comment I made on another post. You need organic traffic to your Hubs! Why? If you are using adsense, or any other monetization method on Hubpages, you will not, I repeat, you will NOT get credit for clicks on your ads from...

I'm using adsense with both HubPages and my own blog <snipped link>. Everytime I get a new click it's from that other site. Now, I know my hubs aren't very popular, but is there any way to know if I did not get a single ad click since I started here or if there's something I did wrong?

I've written almost l00 hubs but I've never made one penny. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

PART I.So, I am a "newbie" as the term goes, only 6 months wet into HubPages. I wrote a few hubs just for ships and keels not really thinking much of it. While in the quest to further my web presence, I jumped feet first into the AdSense world. This week I added Kontera to my hubs,...

I have earnings of 1p today.... but no clicks.... this has never happened before, and I was wondering if anybody knows why this may be?Not that I am moaning, an incredibly slow day for traffic this end.... so every penny counts, but just seems strange.

Instead of fiddling around with Google Adsense and Analytics to figure out which Hub is making me money, Can the team add a new feature to show number of ad clicks for each hub?I am techie and I have been fiddling around for almost 3 days with Google Adsense and Analytics to figure out what is...
