Since the bring your Amazon was finished today, I tried to sign up for the Hubpages program, but it didn't send a text for the confirmation code. So I tried my home phone number, that calls, but instead of giving me a code it just says there was an application error. I tried again and got the same message. Is there another way to sign up?

  Really? They're always poking me with a stick about this, that, and the other.
  
  I decided to go ahead and delete them. What with the relationship history of Google-HP and the recent severing of some ties and not really knowing the behind-the-scenes reasons for this, I decided I didn't want to be associated with something that I knew nothing about and had no control over and that no longer had any earnings benefit. Better safe than sorry.
  
  Edit. Kind of felt both depressing and scary when doing it.

  I agree with paradigmsearch. Whenever I have sites in my approved list that no longer show ads, Google sends me a warning. So now that we are using HubPages’ AdSense, and no longer using our “bring your own” AdSense, I removed all the niche sites from my approved list. If nothing else, it’s just to keep it clean.

  Polly, paradigmsearch already just answered your question, but I'll add an additional note -
  
  If you are using your own Adsense account on other sites with views, then you'll still have revenue coming to that account. But revenue for our Hubs is now all coming through HubPages' Adsense account. There is no need to have your own anymore unless you use it on other sites.

This is the pits! You cannot track your earnings in real time. In fact, it takes days to learn if you've earned anything or not with these programs. I'm accustomed to looking at my Google Adsense in real time. One can actually see who's visiting one's articles and how many are on a particular article.

I don't like the delayed reports as they can be manipulated by HP. With Adsense and a private affiliate you don't have to be concerned with this happening.

  It's just the way it is. It's always the same. There's no point getting upset about it. Just keep writing and let the earnings take care of themselves. I've switched between Adsense and HP ads several times and have always found that HP pays more. Hundreds more.

sallybeaposted 4 years ago
This has actually kept me awake tonight thinking about how this is actually going to work. I still have Adsense on my own website so I can in fact still see realtime who is visiting it and also see the Adsense earnings but as I have removed the HubPages sites from this page I can still see the content being viewed. I am puzzled though by the fact that some of the content being viewed are articles which are on FeltMagnet so how does this work? It does not seem to be a very transparent system.

Glenn Stokposted 4 years ago
Randy and Sally, I think you both are confusing Google AdSense with Google Analytics.

We still have our own Google Analytics attached to our HubPages account. That was not changed. The “real time” view where you can see the people reading your hubs is in Google Analytics. That’s why you can still see it.

  sallybeaposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  Glen you are right, I tended to think that they were one and the same but they are not. That is what I was trying to figure out last night. The difference now is that I can only see my earnings in Adsense if I sign into it. Am I still seeing traffic for HubPages in Analytics if I use the HubPages link to Google Analytics even though I have removed the HubPages Site and the links to the Niche Sites and only my own Website remains? This is what is puzzling me. I know that I can see my own sites traffic and stats separately, using (my own website provider) link to Google Analytics. Could you clarify this for me please.

  Hi Sallybea. It can be very confusing. But my simple answer to your question is 'Yes' I have my own website and I can see the stats for my website in Google Analytics separately. I can also see my stats for HubPages separately via the Google Analytics link given in Hubpages. I hope this helps you and doesn't confuse you more.

  The next question is, should I have removed the HubPages site and niche sites from the Analytics page? I currently only have my own website listed but I seem to think that some of the articles being viewed are from HubPages writing?
  reply report

  Glenn Stokposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  I have to repeat -- The approved list where you specify HubPages and the niche sites is NOT in Analytics!
  
  Leaving it in AdSense may only cause Google to start sending you warnings that you no longer have any earnings on those sites. That doesn't hurt anything. I just like to keep things clean, which is why it's okay to remove them from the approved list.
  
  I am sure HubPages had included all the niche sites in THEIR approved list in THEIR AdSense. That's the only place niche sites need to be approved now. Our AdSense residuals through the HubPages Earnings Program would be zero if they had not done that. So you can be sure they did.

  sallybeaposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  Hi Glen, I think I have it all sorted now. I does seem to me that HubPages had not completed the work they started because I can now click on the Google Analytic Report and I can see traffic going to both my own website and my HubPage writing. This was not the case earlier. Also, if I go to Adsense, I can see my current earnings from my own website and also those earned previously on HubPages. I do have an earnings at risk warning for my own site but this is in hand and should hopefully sort itself out in a day or two as the code has been placed on my site by the webmaster of the site. Thank you for your help.

  Glenn Stokposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  Sally, you are still confusing the two. AdSense and Analytics are two different animals. The approved sites list is NOT in Analytics. It's in AdSense.
  
  You correctly removed the niche sites from your approved sites list in your AdSense account since we are using AdSense through HubPages' account now.
  
  Now, to clarify -- Analytics can be used to track activity on any number of your sites. I have it tracking my HubPages and my author portfolio site (among others). I can switch it to see data on either one.
  
  You can place your Analytics ID in most any site that has a provision for using it. I even use it to track my activity in meetup . com. None of that has anything to do with AdSense.
  
  I hope that makes things clearer.

  Glen if I go to the Google Analytics page I see my website and on the dropdown menu, I can see HubPages.Sallybea Can you tell me why I am seeing identical stats and writing from HubPages on both? I keep on wondering if my set up is incorrect?. It strikes me that I should only be seeing my own site writing coming from my own site..
  
  Prior to the 29th when these new changes were implemented I used only the HubPages earning program. My earnings from Adsense were minute during all that time and I assumed wrongly, perhaps, that this was because I was using the HubPages earning program. I should have addressed the warning notice risk on the Adsense page but I did not, but now that HubPages are no using our Adsense account it It gave me the opportunity to figure things out a little better. In one day I have been able to earn almost as much as I did using the HubPages program on my own site.. What a revelation! I just wish I could figure out now how to get rid of the pink risk warning on Adsense. Perhaps it will disappear in a day or two!

  I don't use Analytics, but I would guess that it is set up for all your sites; Hubpages and your own site/s. It won't be limited to HP because it is a cross-site facility.
  
  Analytics has nothing to do with the earnings program or Adsense earnings, it is a tool to check traffic and related stats.

  You can see the activity summary of your "Ad Impressions" in your Earnings Report. Click the filter and choose "Ad Program."
  
  If you are taking about not seeing activity in your Analytics account, then maybe you never put your Analytics ID in your Affiliate Reporting Settings.

  Randy, I'm beginning to see why this is confusing people. The earnings page includes both "Earnings Program" and "Reporting Settings."
  
  A more correct title for the "Reporting Settings" would be "Analytics Settings." (Maybe if staff is reading this, they might consider that change).
  
  To address your question Randy, you need to log into your Google Analytics account. The link in HubPages' "Reporting Settings" only goes to Google's promotional page for some weird reason.

  As for greener pastures, the only one I know of these days is having your own website, and we know those are also a long shot.

  We will not have access to that information any longer. All we can see now are impressions and CPM. Since most of us have articles on several niche sites, I assume the CPM is like an average. ???

  This is what I was afraid of, Eric. With Adsense I've received ad clicks as much as ten dollars or more for one click, and often at least two dollars a click. Now I can't tell how much the ad clicks are worth with this system.
  
  No CPC or CPM is listed so we have no idea which article is providing the ad clicks. I hate this program!

As you know, HubPages has discontinued the AdSense requirement for the HubPages Earnings Program. As a result, you may receive an email notification from AdSense, "One or more of your sites does not have an ads.txt file. Fix this now to avoid severe impact to your revenue". This does not affect your HubPages Ad and Amazon earnings. You can ignore the ads.txt warning or you can remove HubPages and the Network Sites from Sites in your AdSense account.

To remove sites from your AdSense account
1. Login in to AdSense
2. Click Sites
3. Click the dropdown arrow to the right of HubPages and click the Remove button. Repeat this process for all Network Sites

I had $92 or $93 in my Adsense report throughout my 11 years on Hubpages (cashing is possible at $100). Now these earnings disappeared together with Adsense capsule in my earning settings.
Why? And what can I do to claim my meager earnings back?

  Whatever earnings you had from HP in AdSense itself is still there. Unless you have other sites that are linked to your AdSense that bring in earnings, you can get your earnings from AdSense paid to you only if you close your AdSense account if the minimum was not reached.

I'm so confused! I just posted my 5th article today, got it approved and featured. But apparently because this happened after Jan. 29, I am not being able to get the "Ad Program" setting to "active." (The Amazon Program IS "active.") What should I do to fix this?

  There is not an article minimum to enroll in the Ad Program. If you are having difficulty please email team@hubpages.com or try again by clicking the Configure button for the Ad Program here: https://hubpages.com/my/earnings/affiliate/

Thanks so much, Matt! I tried MANY times yesterday to e-mail team@hubpages.com, but I just kept receiving a message that said there was a problem. And read through lots of forums and posts on here, to no avail! I had a really frustrating day! I welcome your assistance!

Thank you very much, Matt! It has been a busy day, but I'm ready to share my new article with many friends. Hopefully tomorrow. (I need to figure out what to do about Amazon ads. That should help my earnings, right?

Matt Wells, I thought I had read on these forums somewhere that I had to publish 5 articles to get out of "Boot Camp" and to be able to sign up for earnings. Is that not true? If not, shucks, I could have been rich and famous long before now!
