I went through a bunch of my hubs and instead of getting nice relevent ads, i get stuff about asian ladies and dating sites. My couple hubs about relocatable homes have these types of ads as do many other hubs.
My hub about Knotts Berry farm has debt settlement ads.
No wonder I am not getting any conversions.
Adsense has changed the way it chooses ads - it often shows ads based on the reader's preferences and recent search activity rather than what's relevant to the article.
Have you signed up for HP Ads? Most people are finding that does better than Adsense these days.
I just had a look at a few of your Hubs and they're very short, more like blog posts than Hubs. Length is a major component of HubScore these days, so I bet that's one of the reasons your score has dropped.
I just looked at your pages and saw no dating ads. I couldn't help noticing how short your hubs seem to be, though, and how many hubs there are.
Have you thought about producing fewer, more in depth, pages? I reckon you would get more traffic and a better income.
I agree, I'd recommend the OP combines two or three related Hubs together and learns how to lay them out better so the Amazon ads aren't all at the bottom.
Remember you share your impression time, split 60/40 (you/HubPages). So for the 40% when HubPages codes are affiliated with your Hubs, their site-wide stats and relevancy is in effect. Plus, AdSense targets user preferences and activity, so what you see is not going to be the same for other people who visit your Hubs.
Since you said in another thread that you took an extended break from the site, you might want to visit the Learning Center or re-read the FAQ to reacquaint yourself with how the site advertising works.

Have any of you found detestable ads on your hubs? It is a "game" with girls in bras...how distasteful I want it off my hub...do you know if we have a say in this? It has nothing to do with my poem and is disgusting to me.

This is disconcerting: I've diligently tracked all Adsense revenues from my hubs for a year averaging roughly > forty five cents a click.In the past couple of months (since the new Hubpages ads option has become available, which I personally don't use) my adsense clicks average a lousy ten...

Yesterday I was confidant that e-mailing HP staff would result in the ads being turned back on, on the four hubs (and counting) of mine that have had their ads disabled. This was not the case, and I was told by HP staff that all four would remain ad-less for being against the Google TOS.Do...

This is rediculous! Seriously, Adsense has got to get a real life. It isn't only this hubs but some others and I have started putting a poll up asking if the ads are related to the material presented in the hub. Sexy Russian Girls is on my Choosing a Sewing Machine and Learning...

i've mentioned this before, but i just checked my 84 articles and a huge number of them have ads for 'filipina girls', 'sexy singles', etc. my articles are about gradening, food, travel and family topics - there are even two ads for sex on my article about 'webkinz'! I emailed the help...

I must have missed an announcement, but I have noticed a section down the right side of my hubs (as well as other hubs) and along the bottom called "related ads". I haven't clicked on them as that is a no-no, but am curious what they bring up. There also seem to be a lot more...
