Hub views have increased exponentially over the past few days, yet earnings have not increased.
Why do you do think this is?
Something is going on... It is not just involving revenue either... it seems to be more wide-spread. whatever it is, I wish they would discuss it. It does not feel very friendly.
Hi davenmidtown, what do you think is going on? I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Going by my increase in traffic, at present, i should have approx. 8 times more in terms of income, but nope just pittens. I still love writing articles regardless, but it would be great to have a little bit more of an income.
I have noticed on other sites that sometimes the income increases a few days after I have a surge in views. Perhaps this is a sign of good things to come!
It just means that people are viewing your hubs, but not necessarily clicking on ads or links. That happens to me on a couple of other sites as well. My views will jump and I'll see 0 revenue, or my views can drop and the revenue will jump.
I understand totally what you say, and yes I feel sort of of the same way. I love writing as well. Yes, It would be nice to have more of an income. Now days that would be awesome, because we are living in the recession.
It's probably due to the change in URL for all Hubpages accounts. I've noticed many of my hubs climbing up on search engines off late. However, this doesn't mean that there would an increase in ad CTR.
Honestly speaking, the ad placement on Hubpages is terrible. It damages CTR tremendously. After having experimenting with ad placement on over 30 sites of my own, I must say that the placement of the first ad box here is just illogical. Since that's the one with the higher CPC, most people ending up only a fraction of what they could do with better placement.

I have no idea what happened, but earlier this month, there was a sudden and inexplicable high rise in earnings. I was getting $10 to $20 per day for a week or so. However, I have no idea how many views I was getting on those days because I've been absent on Hubpages for weeks. Lastly, I have no...

I am experiencing an overall average off 66 percent less page views per day, for seven days versus a week previous and for the past two months. Such a huge drop in page views makes me think that Google has tuned up something again. I do know that I don't have the time and energy to keep...

Friday and Saturday showed the lowest Ad Program earnings I have seen in well over one year. It seems it could be just temporary though, as lately my earnings overall have increased. Maybe returning (I hadn't written here for some time, and just came back and made a few posts) jars the algorithm...
