I guess you mean using adwords to generate traffic to generate revenue. Would be nice if it were that easy - but it's unlikely you would ever earn anything like what you invested
Adwords is no good for hubpages because you can't advertise a page with adsense ads on.
I had tried using Adwords on my business site but found I was paying more money than I was making. This is not a reflection on how good or bad it is. Obviously it works for many advertisers since Google is making good income from it.
In my case I found it difficult to fine-tune the filters to make sure my ads were being placed only on pages where it related well to the subject matter. That is the magic behind its power in advertising. You need to get your ads placed properly and Adwords gives you full control over that. But it takes a lot of work.
Note that Adwords is meant to be used to sell your products on your own business web site. There is no reason to consider using it for HubPages. For that matter, you can't! Since you have AdSense ads on Hubs that is a conflict of interest and against the rules.

I recently read some reviews on Consumer Affairs, which were absolutely devasting and have got me a little worried. I was wondering if anyone else wrote at similar sites prior to HubPages and why they made the switch, and if they had thought about going back.

Does anyone make around $400/month each month on HP?I'm hoping to be able to one day earn at least $400/month on HP and I realise I'm going to have to write hundreds of hubs to do this. I'm just wondering if anyone still earns that much on HP since the Panda update? I'd love to hear from people who...
