Ok, I thought I had this worked out. How is the payment calculated. Is it page views? If it is
why does the amount fluctuate so much, even though views are fairly consistent?
The hubpages ad program is based on pageviews, but how much you earn is based on both pageviews (impressions) and the Cost per Impression ( or cost per thousand impressions - CPM)
For example, if you get 1000 pageviews (impressions) two days in a row, but the first day your CPM is $4 and the second day it is $10, you will make $4 on the first day and $10 on the second. There are some other details that go into how much you actually earn such as referrals etc. but that is the basics to my best understanding.
That explains everything, my friend. Thanks very much!
Internpete has a good bit. But I believe it also has something to do with ads, some are Adsense and others are for Hubpages program. Ads pay differently. I think the bottom line is that there is no formula or full information given to us, therefore, stop wasting time to figure out how much you will make on each hub, all hubs, on daily or even yearly basis. It is impossible I think.

From the information we had from Staff last week, we were informed that we should be expecting lower CPMs and increased impressions. But it wasn't the case yesterday when Monday, December 06, 2021 earnings were calculated. I wanted to know if that has been suspended or was just a glitch. Thank you...

I would certainly hope not, given that the HP stats counter seems to be rather past its use-by date, and frequently gets stuck. Even staff have told us in the past that we are better off using Google analytics.Whenever the stats get "stuck" they seem to have trouble catching up with...

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...
