Well, its hard to put into words really. I have been very unwell for several weeks and during that time I had an email from Adsense saying I wouldn't be showing ads any more and I have no idea why. I see that several weeks ago my earnings have dropped from almost 2 dollars a day to just a few cents a day. So far this month I have earned $5.99 and its been literally years since I have seen figures as low as this. I know I have quite a bit of editing to do with putting it off being so poorly but there's got to be a bigger reason for the pitiful visits to my articles. One amazon sale in a month and that's a very small one.
I was on Healdove with my best articles. Can anyone shed any light on what's going on please? Thanks in advance.
I don't think you lost your Adsense account. If you did you would not have earned 5.99 but 0. You like me and a few others have received an email regarding the closure of the Google adwords account that is used for paid advertising on search and other websites (the people who place ads for adsense).
Take a look at this thread: https://hubpages.com/community/forum/34 … celled-wth
About the other issues, Alicia has you covered.
Hi, meloncauli. I know the situation is frustrating, but there's hope for the future. Since you've been ill, you may not know that the HealDove site is being reorganized. Samantha's post explains this. https://hubpages.com/community/forum/34 … memindbody
Another point to note is that HubPages discovered a coding error that affected our article views, which they've fixed. The fix may lead to improvements once Google has processed it.
,,,and, please note that the Google portion of this issue can take months!
I am now down to average 20 cents a day. This is what I was earning within 3 months of joining. I find it almost unbelievable.
Do you submit your articles to the niche sites every 2 weeks? Since the majority of your articles are on the HP main site, you are going to have almost no page views from them. I think the traffic for Healdove is not much better.
I am not sure yet about the Healthproadvice site, but if I were you I would try to get my articles onto there.
Thanks. I thought it was done automatically by HP. It always was in the past. Has something changed that I am not aware of?
As far as I know it is the same as always. All new articles are evaluated, and from time to time the older articles with good traffic are evaluated too. If you have articles that do not have much traffic, however, they may not be seen for a long time, if ever. Asking HP to move them makes them take a look at them right away.
(This worked very well with my articles that were performing poorly on Google. Some of them are still not doing well but overall the page views went up. Some of them increased significantly, so it is worth the extra effort to edit and submit for evaluation.)
Being on a niche site makes a big difference for an article. A well written one that didn't get much traffic can suddenly start getting noticed. It's worth checking it out. Just be sure you check that whatever you submit is up to standards. The grammar and punctuation have to be perfect, or close, and the pictures need to be the right size. Proofread it well, and update if necessary.

New hubber here! (Well, sorta new. Started an account years ago and just checked back in.) Still trying to grasp the whole SEO thing and I'm wondering how long it takes to get a hub indexed and how to tell if you have been? Also, are articles on the niche sites more "findable" on google...

I have finally published a hub that has been deemed unfeatured. I can only direct my attention to a table I inserted which was long when viewed on the mobile platform. Grammar is checked, titles tweaked, content is solid as its in the same vein as my other articles. Do you think this could be it?...

I’d like to start by explaining that my articles are all published to niche sites except one which is still pending consideration. I’ve edited and revamped these articles to death. I’ve waited for these changes to kick in despite that, less than 30 views per day on some that seem to perform on a...

I have an eHow account with 17 articles and it has earned more in the last week than my 102 hubs.There has got to be something wrong with this picture?This is extremely discouraging... my traffic levels have fallen back to the level when I had 70 newly published hubs and google adsense with HP is...

Many hubbers today have said in the forum that their traffic has returned to an extent. But for me it is opposite as today my traffic is at almost 30% of what it was before these changes. I am still waiting for my first adsense click from hubpages for March. Either my hubs are not good enough or...
