      I am seeing a spike this month off and on. Is there some way of finding out which of my articles is making money and how much?

         I would start with FAQ: https://hubpages.com/faq/

            Is there a section in FAQ that covers how to find out which article is making money?

         I'm not sure there's a way to pinpoint which article is making how much money but someone else might know. There are ways to find out how much traffic an article is getting and rank of the article. But how much money it makes, I'm not sure.

            There's no way of knowing for sure, as far as I know. You can make an educated guess, based on traffic and the value of the keywords, but that requires a knowledge of keywords.
            
            Basically, topics can have very different values to advertisers, so 20 views/day for one article can earn as much as 100 views/day for another. It typically relates to the main keywords, which you would normally put in the title.
            
            Obviously, if you have one article getting 100 views per day and the others are earning less than 10, the high traffic one is likely to be the earner.
            
            But like I say, it's mainly educated guesswork, as far as I am aware.

            I know how to tell the traffic an article gets but how do find the ranking of an article?

               I don't know how to find the rank either. A writer here named lobobrandon has talked about doing it. If he comes on he might be able to tell you. Of course, you might be able to do a Google search and see where it is in search engine results. If it's at the top it's doing well.

                  Brandon feeds the URL into the SEMRush website to find out rankings, I believe. (He'll correct me if I'm wrong!)
                  
                  I think that's the only website that tells you for free nowadays.
                  
                  I used to use the Neil Patel one for finding out various info, but that only gives you 3 searches/day now. Otherwise you have to pay a subscription.
                  
                  As Eug says below, it can get complicated with rankings.

                     Yeah, I just went to Ubersuggest earlier to look up keyword search volume and found out I could only look up 3 words. Used to be if you opened a free account you could just look up keywords.

                     And yes, that's right rank is a bit complicated. A person has to have at least some knowledge of the keyword's search volume to get an idea if search results show a good position or not.

               Ranking as I understand it depends on the search term. So you may be high up in the SERPS for one stirng of words, but not for another that's highly competitive. You can do a search on Startpage.com or similar websites that don't bias the results based on what you've searched for before. Using a VPN might work too.

   My traffic's gone up very slightly, but I think that's seasonal. July is always the worst.
   
   I expect my traffic to go up a little more as we go into September. But I've not seen any signs of a recovery so far. I'm expecting a long wait now, to be honest. (I hope I'm wrong)

      Mine was down .6%, but that's up from a couple of days ago when traffic was down 20+%.

   Mine was up slightly just because of one Amazon sale. Looks to be tracking slightly down for the month though.
