    Or are all the ads automated? Hopefully advertisers are being charged more for advertising, in line with inflation although it doesn't seem so in the last 10 years.

      Not sure, but ads have always been given to the highest bidder irrespective of the platform used to advertise.

        The problem I guess is when there's little interest in bidding and the final price is pushed down. Do we know whether bidding systems can access traffic stats?

          Typically people place bids per 1000 views. So they do not need the stats per se. But I am curious what system they (HP) use.

            That make sense to me. Let hubpages Matt Wells speak on it.

            A bit off topic- I have stopped promoting my articles via links on social media because I would feel embarrassed if friends and acquaintances  linked to articles that are inevitably peppered with ads that disrupt the flow. Such advertising practices are a total turnoff in my opinion. I was much happier with layout back in the days when ads appeared on the right hand side of Hubpages articles (which seemed to earn more than they now earn). I haven’t submitted articles to for some time now as I feel totally disincentivised  by advertising policies.

              Yes, we did seem to earn more then. We were promised that the new website design would allow more flexibility in the type of ads served and better earnings or words to that effect, but I don't think that materialised. Interestingly though, I turned off ads for two weeks on a long article. It didn't have any effect on bounce rate or average time spent on page, according to GA. Maybe ads keep readers engaged and they stay longer, despite the fact that the layout is awful a lot of the time. The things that annoy me most about ads is lack of alignment and excessive whitespace when a short ad gets put in a tall placeholder.

    I think this is better address by HubPages, Matt Wells.
