   So my suggestion to hubpages is that maybe you might like to look at alternate like say Ad Brite for the people who like me who are in the same position. I have 140 hubs up and I can see that I am still having the odd advertisement inserted onto my pages for which I will not receive payment; maybe that is quid pro quo for hubpages hosting my pages - that would make sense. But even better for all would be another advertisement provider for publishers.  cheers

      If you don't have a linked Adsense account, Hubpages will put the same adverts up but take 100% of impressions.
      
      How did you lose it? You should have got an email giving you the reason.

         Hi QuestionMaster -  I have a video  account where I put my hubpage address as my url for people to view. Nice strategy and it was working for me at both Google and hubpages - i could see the earnings rising daily until ---- I saw another site which I joined that advertised watching videos and being paid - great I thought will suit my other video site (with all my adsense pages 800+ plus hubpages 140+ pages on them)  and so I put two of my video urls onto this new site for other members of the new site to view my videos.
         Within two days I had lost my account with Google. Seems it was a hits increaser site without any TOS or Faqs - my fault should have realised but was stuck on the video aspect...too late she cried as she waved her wooden leg!!!
         so now I am looking for replacement ads for my 1000+ pages ...
         can anyone help?   thanks  cheers

I see no good reason why my work should generate an income for other people while I do not receive remuneration for it.... there must an answer somewhere.... cheers and thanks in advance for help from someone who knows what I should go or where I should go....

            I meant don't take down your hubs - they're well established I guess? Just create a blog or your own website or something in the same niches as your hubs and link to it from your hubs - that way you won't loose your traffic.

               There isn't much point to traffic unless they are earning too.
               
               BUT, if Ajcor keeps the high trafficked hubs here and includes links to point viewers to his new blogs or domains, then yes that is an excellent strategy.
               
               I have a hub on my new subdomain that instantly attracted a lot of hub views. That died away, and the hub lay dormant for a few weeks.
               
               I added a link from a well-trafficked hub from this subdomain, and the other hub now gets 20 or 30 referred views per day.
               
               So, it works. It also works on outside sites and blogs.
               
               Ajcor, check the PR of each hub before you remove it, too. A high PR hub is good place to add a backlink to another new venture you have, because the higher the PR of the backlink, the higher Google judges the new site to be.

                              Most hubs that I look at are 0 or 1 .... some manage to get to 2 or even 3..
                              
                              It is a function of backlinks, if you have a lot of links coming to your page then the PR will be higher but depends on the number of links and the PR of the page linking..

   If it's any help, Google do seem to be favoring their own sites at the moment, so blogger blogs do well.
   
   At least, in my experience.
   
   BUT, you have to be as focussed there as you are here with respect to SEO.
   
   I haven't looked, but with 146 hubs you surely have several in a specific keyword range, several groups.
   
   As Blogger blogs are free, I would create one blog for each group so that your posts are all related, and title it well.
   
   If your chosen titles are all taken, add a number somewhere. Google will ignore the number anyway.
   
   So, I dunno, you could have 10 blogs with 14 posts each? You can add to them anytime you like, or more, I don't know what stuff you write about.
   
   I have a hub called How to Optimize a Blogger Blog which works. Well, not the hub on a slapped account obviously, but the contents as far as it relates to Blogger.
   
   It's a bit of a pain messing about with the html of blogger and setting up and promoting rss feeds, but trust me, it's worth the effort.
   
   You can add any affiliates you choose with Blogger, as far as I can see.
   
   The important thing seems to be to keep you blog title search friendly and on topic.
   
   Good luck
   
   Keep your Amazon sales hubs here so you still have the community here behind you

      I finally put up a few eBay capsules on my 1 million views hub to see what would happen (never used ebay/amazon really) and I got one click (no buy) but made 9 cents- that was pretty exciting especially since they didn't buy and I still made money- just learning about these two capsules earning potential- I've always known "how" they worked and how to set them up but never how they work on the back end- I always focused on adsense or ad programs...
      
      any one have some good hubs to point me to to read more on how to use them effectively (saving me research time essentially)?
      
      I had no idea you could earn from eBay without actual sales- I got 708 hubs to put these on and I'm dam excited to add eBay and amazon to them all now! Sure 9 cents isn't much but it's a precedence that makes me realize I'm leaving money on the table- big time.
      
      Adsense has dropped almost completely off the radar for my adsense account- but on hubpages the earning/ad etc... programs are all generating a ton of money compared to my previous state- I am earning twice what I made with adsense earnings combined with hubpages before... it's just a matter of sticking in there, writing more hubs and utilizing ALL of the opportunities availed to us here... I've probably left thousands on the table by not using eBay/Amazon- but now is a good time as any to get it going due to the new program shift...
      
      Good Luck Bard, you'll get there- it took me 2 years to really hit what I call a successful earnings start... it only got better from there (now 4 years).

    Without adsense, this means you cannot earn from HPAds or Ebay, but you can still earn from amazon. If you decide to stay on HP, I'd say  try to focus on amazon-style hubs and reformat any old hubs to include amazon if needed.
    
    For those hubs that you simply cannot make work (efficiently) with amazon, deleting them and posting them elsewhere might work. You might have to wait for de-indexing as many sites nowadays don't accept duplicate content. But if you delete them now, hopefully they'll be de-indexed faster.
    
    It would be nice if there was an adsense alternative for those who cannot use Adsense or a way for HP Ads to be used without requiring an adsense account.
