Except for maintaining some articles, I have taken a break from HubPages the last couple of years. A month ago I came back with a vengeance by writing one article a week. That's my goal for as long as I can maintain it, as long as I have relevant topics to discuss.
The question I have for the community is if there is anything new with HubPages or the online writing industry I should be aware of? I read a bit on Medium, but my only experience with that site is that someone stole one of my articles and placed it on that site. Luckily the DMCA went through so I expect it to be resolved.
Thank you!
There are about a million things different about the online writing industry But I'm back to HP after about 7 year break and it is pretty similar from what I can remember. I never wrote here for adsense or affiliate ads in the past, I just wanted to, so I don't know if any of that is the same. I did just learned that I can't size a photo, or left/right margin a photo as I could in the past which isn't ideal.
I'm back too, after a longer break than you, and I haven't found anything substantially different. They seem to be even more sensitive about Amazon - I used a couple of Amazon capsules, making sure to include a long personal recommendation, and they still got snipped. I put the products in again using a text link and they got approved.
The only thing to be aware of is that the Adsense program has been closed down, so all earnings come through the HubPages Earnings Program.
I had the same thing happen with my Amazon capsules, so I basically won't use them anymore.
Adsense is gone huh? That's a real shame. I didn't earn much from it, but I always earned something.
Thanks for the reply.
Given all of the problems we're having recently with obtaining data from Amazon ads via the HubPages Earnings Program, perhaps closing down the Adsense program was a mistake. I wonder if Adsense is having the same reporting problem that we're experiencing as we rely upon HubPages to report our Amazon ads earnings? Or, is Adsense just gone completely and no longer supported by Amazon?
I'm confused. Why do you think Amazon and Adsense have anything to do with each other?

Hi everyone,I am having issue with the Amazon Ad Capsule as when I insert my Amazon Link, there is no preview for it and all I see is "No Amazon products found" . But when I check the link in a separate window, it works and loads the same product. Even after publishing the article, I...

I seem to have come to HP just before all the changes. I have put in almost F/T hours on the days I write my hubs. I've read whole books, not only the ones I review, but for material for my hubs. I think what I write is well written and informative. I kept hoping as I got more readers, the money...

Should I continue to run Amazon ads if I've never earned a penny with them?I've been earning with AdSense and HubPages since July, but never a penny from Amazon.
