Last year I added two HubPages network sites to my Adsense account list of sites. Since adding them to my Adsense Sites list, I can see ad clicks and earnings for each network site. Unfortunately, I didn't add these network sites to my Adsense list for a few years after my hubs were moved to them so it seems like I lost some Adsense revenue.
Anway, now I want to add the remaining network sites where I have hubs to my list of Adsense verified sites. But when I enter the URL (i.e. toughnickel.com), Adsense says, "URL can't be added as a site."
So my questions are:
How do we add our network sites to Adsense in 2019?
And if Adsense will no longer let us add Hubpages newtwork sites, how do we get our portion of Adsense ad revenue?
Same problem here alongside my main hubpages site being deleted off of Adsense site list for no reason; can't add it back either.
"URL can't be added as a site." and nothing else.
Yes, I raised this as an issue with Hubpages in February as everything stopped working for me on 7th January. I raised it again a few weeks ago and got this reply:
"Unfortunately, we have not been able to work this out yet. We are still in contact with AdSense and trying to work on a resolution."
It's like they don't want everyone to realize it is happening. It seems like people not on Hubads would lose a lot this way?
Having the same issue here. It's quite disappointing as this is the time of year my garden hubs do get some clicks to add to my adsense revenue.
Hopefully, it will be worked out soon.
I have a feeling this is low priority because most of us use the HubPages Earnings Program, and we only have one AdSense ad at the bottom. We still potentially earn revenue from all the other ads.
This would only be a big issue for anyone who opted out of the HubPages Earnings Program and is only using AdSense ads.
Yes it is only a case of losing a few pounds/dollars but it also means we never have the option of switching to adsense only as we wouldn't earn anything at all but it would be nice if something was done to fix it.
Luckily, last year I added the network site for my most heavily visited hub to Adsense. It's makes enough each month in Adsense (in addition to Hub ads program), that I'd be upset if I was losing out on earning it.
That being said, I would like to add the rest of my network sites to Adsense. Those cents and dollars add up especially since it's combined with my own domains where I earn 100% of the Adsense.
Even if it seems like it might be an insignificant amount compared to Hubpages Ad program it should be a priority to get this issue resolved. Afterall, I'm sure Hubpages gets their portion.
I bet there are people out there not signed up to Hubads who should be until this gets fixed. I only noticed the problem when more of my old hubs got moved to more of the niche sites.

The feed on HubPages.com still promotes Network sites. Why are they doing it even though there is no income generated from those sites for the writers?Most of us have withdrawn our articles from those sites. So, I think, there is no logic in promoting these network sites.

I am uncertain if this same situation has happened to other writers, but I am wondering about why it seems hubpages has become a second-class citizen in its own network. I've written articles here for the last decade and been happy with it for the most part. In the last year or so,...
