Which of the three affiliate programs makes you the most money every month?
There is no contest for me - HPads is a clear winner.
With HPads turned on, Amazon comes in a strong second place. I suppose that if I turned off HP ads, adsense might beat out Amazon.
eBay is still doing very little for me.
Hubpages has been the money maker for me. I haven't received anything from Amazon or Ebay.
Interesting common consensus. All the more reason for being part of HubPages.
Definitely HubPages first with Google in second. Amazon and eBay are tied.
I leave all of my earnings to Adsense, It provides me with a nice bonus on top of main job. I can pay my car insurance and still have a nice amount left for something else.
The others I haven't bothered with, Amazon got me about $100 so far
It varies slightly from month to month but usually:
1) Adsense by a country mile
2) Close between HP ads and Amazon
3) Ebay earnings remain firmly at £0.00 (quite an easy conversion to dollars this one!) $0.00 after nearly five years as an affiliate! Zero earnings after five years says it all...
Note that Adsense earnings come almost exclusively from one particular blog, which represents the biggest part of my monthly income, so taking that out of the equation, stats would be very different.
Do you mean on HubPages or online as a whole?
If you mean over all my sites, it's:
1. eBay
2. HP Earnings Program
3. Amazon
4. Adsense.
Before the HP Ads program was introduced, eBay and Adsense were neck and neck.
Gordon - if you've earned nothing over 5 years, I'd be checking to make sure I had my account set up correctly!
For me.... HP Earnings Program rocks....
Besides this, AdSense income....
thanks....

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...

We are going to increase Amazon earnings for most of you! Amazon is becoming part of the HP Earnings program. In early November folks will have the opportunity to switch to get paid their Amazon earnings through the HP Earnings program. For new Hubbers, this will greatly simplify...
