Whenever I click on a link to a hub, the title and the first few lines load and then the page freezes. The status bar reads "connecting to YieldBuild.com" (I understand yieldbuild to be the ad server for hubpages.)
This has been going on for a few hours and happens whether I use Explorer or Firefox. No other sites are behaving this way and I can access other parts of Hubpages such as the forums and people's profiles (where there are no ads, incidentally). I suspect there is some glitch in the ad server.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I just noticed that some of my pages are loading very slowly. This is unusual. Hubpages is normally very fast...something I appreciate.
Yep, I am having this problem too. Many of the hubs I am able to access have no adds at all. Certain hubs won't load at all.
Me too. I thought it was just because I was trying to load a page that was heavy with videos. I guess not
I am noticing that some hubs are loading very slowly, too.
I'm experiencing slow loading too. Thought it was my Internet connection guilty
Me too. Additionally, on some hubs the comment capsule is missing.
I was starting to think it only happened to me but now I see I´m not alone. Lets hope this thing will go away soon enough! There are lots of new hubs I want to read...
I've disabled ads altogether on hubs until the problem is cleared up. Enjoy the ad free HubPages experience while it lasts.
Just noticed a drop in google rankings of one of my popular hubs.....wondering if it has anything to do with no adsense ads on the hub? Does google respond that quickly? Or am I being paranoid?

I know we are all here to make some money, but having 10 ads on a page slows down loading time to such an extent that readers just don't have the patience to wait for a page to load. So they click away without reading our pages. To prove my point that the very high number of ads is to...

HubPages' new policy of spreading out the pictures and rearranging hubs has made an absolute mess of so many of my pieces. It will take a lot of editing and re-writing and formatting for a large number of my articles because they are in need of photos that are placed NEXT to the text, not on...

Yep, I'm going to be writing 100 Hubs in 30 days starting next Monday, May 11th. This might sound a little crazy (because it is), but I promise that I have a somewhat logical reason for doing it.So here's the story -- Yesterday I was surfing around the web, looking at some blogs that have been...

Playing around with webmaster tools, I find that my hubs are loading in a little over 5 seconds and that 77% of sites load faster - this doesn't sound good, but I don't really know if it's a problem or not.I realize that my hubs are on the longish side, but I try not to simply pad them with words...

Should I put all my articles on HubPages the day their done?I have been writing 4-5 Hubs a day, should I throw them all on at once, or slowly release them into the hubpage community?

If we find that our new site for health is falling drastically, wouldn't it be a good idea if we scrapped it and gave it back just as hubpages again? I keep reading that google only likes professional health articles. Actually that annoys me because who better to know, understand and experience the...
