I'm pleased that my traffic HP ads are picking up after a drop for around 3 months. Got my first HP ad payout and still a way off with Adsense with their threshold much higher.
I've seen some concerning threads where people have had their adsense disabled for no apparent reason.
Can hubpages make their HP ad program separate from adsense? As I understand it, we have to have a functioning adsense account to get HP ads.
Adsense ads are mixed with non-adsense ads in the hpads. Thus the adsense account requirement.
However, I would guess that an hpads option that excludes adsense ads is on HP's to-do list. The question is is it on page 1 or page 100... Only HP knows for sure...
I agree, I hope this is something HP is taking into consideration. Reading about all of these AdSense bans lately doesn't give me much confidence in the program.
I think Google's customer service is non existent, working with them is like dealing with the Devil.

Some people have said they've turned off HP Ads and just use Adsense and actually make more money from Adsense. I'm considering trying that out and was curious how much more some of you are making just through Adsense. Fifty percent more? Twice as much? Triple? Quadruple?

I know it can vary, but if you have any math to go with it that would be great.Right now...

So, since Panda (or since the HP ads thing came out and I signed up for it... I can't really tell which given I'm mainly too lazy to look very hard into it)... my earnings have all transferred to HP ads and only a trickle of Adsense.Do HP ads populate INSTEAD of adsense, but not totally (since I am...

I think it is related to images being used for the HUB ads and Google ads. When I turned off the Hub ads my adsense revenue rose significantly. I think it is because the block of adsense ads to the right of the column of text below the title returned to text based rather than image based. I think...

I switched off HP Ads one week before the end of April (I was going to wait till the end of April, but had to go away for a few days so did it early).I've now compared the first three weeks of April (with HP Ads switched on) to the first three weeks of May, (with them switched off).I can now say,...

Yesterday I noticed NONE of my hubs have AdSense ads on them any longer... where the ads were there is only a white block of space. I still have an active AdSense account, none of my hubs are flagged that the ads are disabled, they are all set to "high". I completed the pin process...
