Hubpages is embarrassing themselves posting ads on job sites
Wow, I saw this ad, it's um...amazing!
It is pretty awful - It's a shame that they didn't get one of the successful featured authors to write it. They might have done a better job
We had that problem on oDesk a couple of years ago, when they decided to run a similar campaign. It backfired, and the job-boards became flooded with desperate people, often with no discernible talent, offering to work for virtually nothing.
It never really recovered - many of the pro-writers left for pastures new.
I’m putting the source odds as follows.
India: 95%
China: 4.9 %
Other: .1%That is soooooooooooo tempting!
Spam site ? LOL. That's far fetched. If HP is a spam site then so is demand media (to be specific ehow), just because few grammar nazis and wanna-be published authors write on ehow and dominate others on forums because of their writing skills doesn't mean they're on spam free platform. Clear writing or not almost every good site with high PR got devalued in this update and will continue to be in future because of social votes.
As for ehow's BS we just need to dig deeper to find something to laugh, e.g. "A Nokia Jar is a game that is a .jar file." <<<<<

I wonder how come search engine users tolerate such content ?
We can dig a lot of stuff like this on any random competitive network but that's what we all are doing as well for the sake of keywords.
Almost every revenue sharing site qualifies for spam on web because - "buy XYZ", "XYZ sales", etc type of titles and articles.
There is one lesson to learn from this panda update - "Sales hubs/pages should be on niche site and informative articles should be on revenue sharing site to perform well from now on".

Referrals and Hubpages Ads
So I had a thought - what happens if you refer someone, whether that be to a hub or who signs up and writes, but they have HP Ads activated but you don't? Does that mean you are pretty much giving up on the referral income because you can't take the HP Ads income? Or what would happen if you had...
