Google and Hubpages
Google changed its algorithm of search engine some time ago. It is sad that - by this changes - sites like Hubpages lost most of revenue. In the face of this, has it any influence on your income?
I wasn't aware of this change froch.
I heard something else that might influence Hubs income.
I was reading the hubpages help center. Hubs said that there was a new change; and every hubber had to get their own subdomain name. Hubs isn't sure or not if this will have a positive or negative impact on our income.
I guess we just have to keep our fingers crossed.
To answer your question. My main income is on Hubs. I make pennies on Google Adsense.
But recently I felt good changes in traffic for some of my Hubs. It looks soon HubPages will get back its previous traffic! I think Google will always love sites like HubPages, a great and beautiful one with attractive features.
I think it is bad for content farm crap (which I think should be deleted) while good for quality articles.
I signed up if February, I think that's around the same time that Panda struck. I struggled for a while to catch up but during the past three or four months things have improved.
Since the domain switch, at first it was slow but my traffic is gradually seeing a great improvement. and so the few dollars I make each month is also improving. I figure in another three to six months things will improve a lot for everyone. We just need to be patient.
I am fixing that my HubPages account to be able to make some good money for me. I am currently unemployed so this has to work for me. I think it will as I am already seeing positive results.

What are my fellow Hubbers doing with hubs that aren't selected for a niche site? Do you plan on leaving them on HubPages or moving them. I'm not sure if it would be better to move them to my blog and risk losing page rank or to leave them and see what happens to all those "left...

There has been a lot of discussion in the last few days about HP changing the rules and people being un-featured or even un-published for spam and over promotional activity. So I just want to add my thoughts......Whether people (writers) like it or not most of their traffic will be coming from...

I have been away from hubpages for over a year now and I was just browsing all my hubs and looking at all the new features available to improve my hubs, but before I dive in and redo all my Hubs I was wondering is Hubpages still a reliable source of income? Or is it dead and buried? Is anyone still...

I'm not sure what to think of this, but HP is advertising a part-time job (telecommuting is OK). The job is to find new Hubbers. Maybe they don't like the old ones?http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/mar/4327997100.htmlIt looks like HP is willing to spend a lot of money on AdWords to find...
