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 have a personal blog, and I was wondering if it's a good idea to write a post where I add reference links to my hubpages articles? Is it a good SEO practice or a bad idea? thanks

Do we need to backup our Hubpages articles?In the event of a crash, is Hubpages backed up regularly? Or maybe your account was hacked, or even, good forbid, you did something stupid/accidentally and got yourself banned, would you lose access to all your hard work? I always backup my computer, but...

This may seem like a silly question, but I was wondering:I am currently working on getting a Website up and running, and the purpose will basically be to have a portfolio online. Am I able to essentially copy and past my own articles, or link them somehow (I am learning here lol!) without rocking...

After only 4 hours of publishing my article, it is indexed and searchable on search engines. Any one else noted this faster indexing of HubPages articles? Is this a positive sign for HubPages on search engines?

I want to know if I can put referral links in my HubPages articles. If I can, is there any benefit to doing so? I understand how they work, but i don't know if it works differently if we use them on our HubPages articles as opposed to external blog articles. Enlighten me if...
