The layout & separations of text is annoying..almost missing the end text with a large empty space left for ads or what. Ads separating text is not common sense...can I control this with editing? I liked the old layout for HubPages better...
Shift-enter, which creates a new line instead of a new paragraph, seems to work instead of enter which creates a new paragraph. Anytime the ad placement scheme sees a new paragraph, it sees it as an opportunity to possibly place an ad.
Thank you eugbug for your reply...I’m on an iPad Pro and don’t recognize “shift-enter” I edit my pages under *author view in statistics. I also notices not all my pages have “author view” so I can’t edit them. It’s been frustrating to say the least.
This is a frequent complaint in this forum, so you are not alone. My understanding is that there's diddly-squat writers can do to change the placement of ads. Frustrating. If it helps, think of the ads as generating earnings for us.
Yes Rupert Taylor, that would be good “ads generating earnings” but that hasn’t happened in 6 years since being transferred here from Squidoo. Many times I just want to shutdown my pages...but the time spent creating them would have been a waste.
I usually use shift-enter to create new paragraphs to avoid the extra blank line. I wonder are there consequences of this as regards Google?
That’s a very good question! I’ve had nothing but problems including my other associations with Google since their changes...sadly I’m not a fan anymore.

I always use Amazon ads as I figure the more advertising the better to a point. Placement is questionable, though. I'm not real happy with a string of ads flushed to the right, although that's what I nearly always do. They are smaller and the text capsule is narrow, which I don't...

1. Change ad placements so they don't interrupt the text. Place ads to one or either side of the text.2. Get rid of Recommended For You ads currently at the bottom of articles. They are undermining the whole site.3. Encourage more transparent dialogue between writers and the HP team. Exchange of...

I am still getting full-width Google ads in the middle of my pages, messing up the layout.The impact of this is that it looks like the Hub is only a few paragraphs long, and readers are unlikely to scroll down far enough to find the full-width ad and the text below it.This can't be good for Adsense...

I can't figure out how to place photos and ads in different places within hubs. I see the "add" thingy, but can't get it to take care of this problem. Help please.
