Has anyone else noticed the new "Become.com" feature on their hubs? On one of my hubs, it is right under my username, the name of the product is in a box, then next to it is something called "Become.com" and underneath that there are several items of what I'm writing about and "compare" next to the items. If you click on the compare prices it then takes you to "buy it", which then takes you to another website, not Amazon...the website I see the most is http://www.irawoods.com/Nesco-4808-4789 … uffet-Kit.
Okay, this sits on top of my amazon and google ads. In between my username and related topics boxes.
I don't want people to go there and buy this! Well, unless it is adsense supported, but I don't see that it is, because there isn't a google logo anywhere near it.
It doesn't show up every time I open the hub, but with one page refresh it is there.
its an adsense ad..well designed at that...be careful about clicking on those!

Possibly I overlooked the answer to this question in the forums, but I have noticed over the past three weeks at least, a significant drop of at least half of my traffic views during this period. And of course a significant drop in my earnings. Are other writers in the community...
