Do you have Google Adsense? If you do, you can sign in to your account and actually follow the prompts till you get to the place where they let you have control over what type of ads you have. I wish you luck. Once you get Adsense set up it is so much better.

I've earned only $3.11 since I set up the eBay program, in contrast with a couple hundred from the Adsense program during the same timeframe. (1) is something set up wrong somewhere? If not, (2) can I opt-out of the eBay program, leaving the old EBay space free to hold Adsense content? (Or does it...

I seem to get strange ads that are irrelevant to my hub. Is their a way to 'streamline' the google ads to match the content?
