Annoying ads on hubs?

1. 76

   brimancandyposted 20 months ago

   I was just looking at one of my hubs, (Top ten gay movies)and there are so many ads that you can't read the article!! One ad was so huge it blocked the whole page, and you cant get rid of it to read what's blocked behind it.
   
   Is there a way in editing to get rid of all of these gigantic ads that block your content? How are people supposed to be able to read your article if there is a giant ad blocking it?
   
   That is very annoying. And, if I cant read my own article other people cant read it either.
   I hope to get help with this. There is no reason to have so many dang pop up ads on one page. I couldn't click them off fast enough. They just kept on coming.
   
   Annoying.

   Nothing you can do about it. It's horrible and we've been complaining about it for a long time.

      Right. if they are going to plaster our hubs with ads, we should at least get paid for the plastering. I have received nothing from ads...ever.

         You have. You said on another thread that you've accumulated $16 in your account. It comes from the HubPages ad program.

            I thought the earnings were more from page views, and not from the ads.
            But, what do I know.

               You earn something between 0.5 c and 2 c per pageview when ads are seen, irrespective of the number of ads per pageview.

                  I have had several page views in the last month, and I would assume people are seeing the ads. But have earned no money at all, not even 1 cent. I fact I have only earned 2 cents in 3 years.
                  
                  I have made more money playing the lottery!! LOL!!

                     Have a look at your impression stats here. It shows the CPM, number of impressions and earnings for each day.

                        Hmmm. I just checked that link, and it says CPM is $3 this year. But total earnings is still only 1 cent. I'm confused. Did I earn $3 or jus 1 cent?

                           The CPM is the rate, not the actual earnings, so $3 per 1000 impressions (views).

         If you want, you can turn them off completely per hub, but then you don't get any of the measly earnings

   Articles on hubpages.com aren't eligible to earn.
   
   Those on Discover, I think, earn less than those on the network sites. I'm not sure though, I could be wrong.
