I was going to ask, which ones are typically higher in CPC value but checking out the page https://www.google.com/adsense/site-targeted-ad-review it shows how much percent of your Recent Ad Impressions AND your Recent Earnings have been from those ads.
Yes darkside this is a very useful option. And for me it shows more earnings from politics and religions ads. Funny, but, i think it is the reality.
Wow, I make most from weight loss and drug ads
You can only refuse ads on your own account, I have tried to block certain sites from advertising on my hubs, but it only leads to a blockage on the domains you own, I think the ads served on our hubs are served from adsense through hubpages so even if you have filters on your account it will not matter.
So did you guys click any of the categories to block them? Just curious to see if that's worth it or if it might weed out some of the good ads with the bad ones...
If google is able to get the data of earnings for each category of ads, then hopefully it should be able to block them also.
If it works in hubpages, we can see that the recent earnings and ad impressions percentage in adsense account will gradually decrease for blocked categories.

Okay - It seems there was an update to the definition of our earnings. I cannot say when it occurred.Basically we are paid for pageviews. One payment per view of article, regardless of how many ads are delivered to the reader, unless they back out before the first ad is actually viewed. Then we...

This question may sound a bit silly, I do know the what both are, but I've been hearing talk about switching between the two. People have been talking about viewing their adsense stats on Google, however, my impressions from HubPages do not show on Google. Please explain it all:How you...

Some people have said they've turned off HP Ads and just use Adsense and actually make more money from Adsense. I'm considering trying that out and was curious how much more some of you are making just through Adsense. Fifty percent more? Twice as much? Triple? Quadruple?

I have so far put up one hub page. Before I signed up for AdSense, there were already several ads on the page.After I had my AdSense thing set up and active, there were just as many ads as before. How do I know which ads I'm (potentially) earning money from?Do I have any control over...

Ok so to keep this short, approx 25% of my page views are giving a page impression IE an AD showing which gives the chance to be clicked on. This seems low, and has been about 25% for the last 2 months.Any ideas on how I can increase my Page Impressions per page view ratio would be great.Thank you...
