The new stuff with competing advertisers, have people opted in for this or opted out?
Apparently we can do so now? Would be interested to see whether people have seen any changes?
I've just started to approve ads using the new features. I have AdSense on my personal site as well as here. I can't say things have shown any changes yet, but I have been able to get rid of ads that I felt were really objectionable or which were obviously for scams/rip-offs.
I usually like to let a few months go by to have enough data to test program changes.
Errrmmm.....Ok, I am still hesitant (or just risk adverse!) thanks for your reply. It's one that I am going to keep an eye on I think. I cant see how there would be anything wrong in principle, but I am a little worried about fixing something which (at the moment) Isn't really broken for me...
Cheers again for your reply, would be grateful if you could keep me/us updated if you noticed any significant changes to income etc
I'm glad to get rid of a few ad categories that were extremely poor earners so that ads with much higher earning returns run instead.
Why wouldn't you want that?
Hmmm. I think I need to learn more about these options. Thanks for the thread.

My AdSense earnings for 2 years are very low compared to what I've earned from HP earnings. So I wish to give all the ad spaces to HubPages earnings program. Is it possible?

Something just occured to me, not only are we writers here but we are ALSO CONSUMERS. I see nothing wrong with clicking on a fellow hubbers google ad if it's something we are interested in. I am getting the feeling that some people are afraid to do this for fear of reprisal for being click happy...

I've been with Google Adsense for a number of years now. At no time have I ever had any problems with them. I have always fully understood the rules and policies set forth by Google. I have also always taken it very seriously that you can't click on your own ads and stay away from them when viewing...

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtmFrom what I understand, it affects bloggers that are directly paid to endorse or review a product. Here on HP, we don't get paid to write reviews (well, some of you might), however most of us do benefit if someone purchases a product that we reviewed...

I have only been a member of HubPages for 5 weeks, and already I have made close to $1,000. I know that this is not exceptional for some Hubbers, except I only have 13 hubs, I am not an internet marketing guru, and my hubs are not that exceptional or keyword optimized. In fact, the only...

Hi,I have noticed that my analytics if showing good traffic to my hubs, but my adsense is not showing any clicks to my hubs ever since I started. I do not understand how I can have a decent amount of traffic and yet no clicks. Could I have adsense set up wrong with hubpages? ...
