   Everyone who is a member(and adsense participant) will eventually be allowed to participate in the Hubpages ad program. Hubpages just began rolling it out.
   
   There are plenty of other threads already on this subject. I would suggest reading them.

               Randy, are you telling me because I was banned that I'm not allowed to ever partake in the Hubpages Ad Program?
               
               Just curious, because I've been banned more time than I care to count.

                        No, not yet! I need to ask Haunty if he has been banned.  So far, he is the only member of the Elite not "randomly" chosen.
                        
                        There was talk of banned members being excluded from some programs if you remember.  I suppose this may be an example of just such an incident.

                           Yep RG... Always nice to know where one stands in an artificially created environment, isn't it!
                           If I wasn't a mushroom, I'd almost say... well you can work that out!
                           Probably explains why I got banned.
                           Had a 20 month old hub with a hub score of 92 and on the front page of Google pulled down for 'Being wrongly classified' (After I Questioned my Ban!)   
                           Have had a 'bug' in my account which removed my ability to publish new material for the last 10 days!
                           All my trackers are strangely 'not functioning' - yet HP continue to place 'invisible' Get Paid To Write Slogans on every one of my hubs, in direct competition to my trackers!
                           All within one week of release of a new 'Reward' system, PD goes from his steady top 25 hubbers slot all the way Down to 750th slot!  
                           Get Real... 80% of my hubs are scored above 75 - That makes my work in the top echelon on this site!
                           (I remember that from the writer's guidelines posted by site founders 21 months ago!)
                           My haven't we changed... lucky I'm a Mushroom - Happy to be in the dark and BS  
                           Why would you release something like this in a way that it creates a split between members, rather than wait and do it in a way that doesn't give boasting rights?   Amazing what a few dollars and cents does to people!
                           Randy... you have an excellent perspective on industry and other things!

                              I've dealt with the cretins at helium, don't forget, PD!  We wondered why so many folk were getting those stupid bans with such petty and unexplained reasons.  Now we know!   
                              
                              Payback is always hell, though!  Did you see this thread?  Let's see how quick the staff addresses the hubs mentioned and why they were allowed to remain on the site so long.  A real eye opener.

However, the other BS stuff, which was possibly used as justification for the lack of invitation, does concern me!  It isn't a sour grapes argument, it is one of potentially compromising ethics to gain a result that is at best questionable anyway - given the presence of hubs like this on the site.  Why Pull my well written works on the pretense that they are deceptive?   That's the BSFD!

   So, I'm in and I absolutely love it.  It could not have come at a better time - when my earnings through AdSense are a bit off due to google messing about with their little algo.
   
   I can see there being quite a bit of potential in this HP ad program.  In addition, I think it will maximize revenue from previously "less monetizable"/less converting hubs.
