    I recently checked my Google Adsense after a few months, and was shocked to see that I hadn't really earned anything over the last three months. They said that this was due to an error in the ad.txt files and they told me that I have to copy and paste a new line into each ad.txt file but I have no clue how to do that.

    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      Hi Cardia, been a while.

      Hubpages does not use any adsense ads anymore, you need to use the HP Ad program. Ignore Adsense when it comes to HP. You can delete all niche sites from your profile on Adsense.

        Haha yeah, I was looking through the forums and saw that Hubpages no longer supports Adsense. Guess I've missed quite a lot!
        Is there any way that I can cashout on my earnings from Adsense even though I didn't reach $100? It's only a few dollars away (currently $96.90) I saw that someone on here suggested to close the Adsense account but I find that's a bit drastic.
        Any advice?

          You would have to have your ads on another website if you want to reach payout or as you know, you can choose to close your account which I think is drastic too.

            I definitely don't have any other website that I could really use to reach payout and none for the foreseeable future. maybe I should close?

              You'd have to find out if you are allowed to open another at a later date or not. But if you don't have any plans for the foreseeable future I'd suggest that you close it.
