      I've been here 4 years and have never met anyone earning anything like that.  I know some people who were earning $3,000 to $4,000 pre-Panda.  I don't know whether anyone is still reaching those levels today.

         I just realized I missed out something important in that sentence.  I meant to say, "$3,000 to $4,000 per month pre-Panda".  Those figures were fairly reliable.  I have never heard of anyone making more than that from HubPages.

               Panda's belong to the bear family
               
               But, it's basically the Panda updates that everyone is talking about. It's basically a change in the Google search algorithm so that people get better results when they search for stuff using the search engine (at least that's what it's supposed to do).

                           I definitely fell into the group who did benefit, although from Feb to to mid Oct my earnings and traffic dropped a lot. Suddenly in mid Oct (when Google tweaked the Panda algorithm again), my traffic just crept up and up and up, and my income along with it, so since Panda I am better off than before, although like I said earlier, I am a little down on my usual figures for the past couple of weeks approx.

                                  Nightmare. I got to a bit over that per day (and my highest day was over $37), but as of a few weeks ago it has dropped off by quite a bit for no apparent reason other than a possible tweak to Google's algorithm again. It is not direly down, just a bit depressingly down as I had got used to the monthly income I was getting (fatal). I just keep hoping it will pick up again on the next Google tweak (probably much like you do). Thankfully I have not been sandboxed though (yet).

             In my opinion, it just isn't accurate on the forum to say that a member whose account remains active and who has published hubs "has left." Others would easily get the impression that the account had been closed, which is not the case. Misha presumably still has earnings from his remaining hubs, he is still bound by the rules. He has not left HubPages.
