Learned something new today. When a hub is un-featured there are no ads on it at all.
Not featured because of engagement= no ads.
So even if we sent direct links to the hub to someone there would be no ads for them to click on.
I have a couple of hubs that do not have ads, and they are still featured hubs.
I do not have any adsense ads at mine. I do have the HubPages program appearing. Adsense does not because I have to send a postcard validating my authenticity for the account. I am not sure if that is because I was idle for about nine months or they changed their program and I didn't notice. I do know when I came back after nine months I had to reactivate at my HubPages earnings page.
All of my non-featured hubs have ads. Not sure why yours do not.

It isn't just mine, but I'm hearing others suddenly have a list with white circles on many hubs. Many were recently approved by QAP. Some have hub scores in the 90s or upper 80s. What is the reason for this and what are we expected to do about it? How do we get these hubs featured again?Merry...

I'm thinking the answer is probably yes?If you have hubs that have been deemed "not featured", for one reason or another, will that factor into lowering your overall score/rating as a HubPages member? Example--let's say your overall rating is 75. If 10 non featured hubs become...

Do you work on your "unfeatured" hubs to improve them? Or let them stay unfeatured?On your hub list, when you see the message "This hub is not featured because it doesn't receive sufficient engagement" next to one of your hubs, are you likely to revamp the hub to try to get it...
