Recent disabling of ads on a long published hub. Why?
So, I just updated my Biblically Homosexual hub - discussing Genesis 19. I didn't change any of the hub, just added a picture of the bible, as it's was...ZZZing....yet, I look today, and where I had ads yesterday on this EXACT hub, I no longer have ad - and the big ol' $ sign with it's green strike through it on my listings. Why after over a month, if not 6 weeks has this changed?
Because when you updated it, it may have triggered the internal automated checkers. Or if you reshared it, a member may have seen an issue and reported it for moderation.
Sounds plausible. Though, I don't think it broke any rules. Thankfully its not one of my popular ones, so it didn't make me much with ads anyway
Almost anything not "family friendly" breaks Adsense ToS. That includes things like homosexuality. Or sexuality of any sort.

I am not sure how you do it, but I remember reading somewhere that you can disable right click on your articles to stop them being plagiarised by copy and paste, do you think its a good idea? Or do you believe that 'they' are stealing them in a different way? another thing, maybe if when we publish...

Why does hub ranking depend partly on how often they are updated?If a hub is well written from the start and it gets good traffic, why does the author need to update the hub periodically to keep the ranking up? This part of the ranking formula baffles me. Thanks.

Now don't get me wrong, I totally love writing on Hubpages and being a part of the Hubbing community, but I have lost a little heart recently when one hub of mine on "How to Improve Male Fertility" had the ads disabled based on automatic filters. This problem I reported in order to have...
