I read today that people are losing page views because they are placing too many advertisements on their hubs. Is this true?
For the ones that I had three Amazon links, they asked me to revise it, so I removed two boxes of Amazon.
I thought the formula was one ad for every 50 words! Guess I misunderstood that one. I don't understand how you can make money if you limit your ads! I'm trying an experiment right now on one of my lowest earning hubs to see if this will change things. It will be interesting to see what happens. I took off all ads but one,and dumped all of the links but one.
I think you must be talking about people losing impressions on their Adsense Ads because they have the HP Ad program running. You don't have to run HP Ads, in fact you need to activate it if you want to earn from that.
I run both types of ads. Did I misunderstand something here? Do you have to run one or the other? I thought you could run both without problems. Please inform me and thanks.
Yes, you can run both HP and Adsense ads. Some people do better with one or the other however. In general, the presence of HP ads will diminish your adsense earnings. For some, the earnings from the HP ads more than makes up for it, for others, not so much.
Thanks. I'm earning so little right now that it doesn't matter, I guess, but I wondered if the problem was that I was running both.
If you have adverts ALL over your hubs, you're likely to annoy people and make them leave. It's better to have a few well placed quality adverts.
Adsense has rules about how many PPC adverts can be placed per page. And Hubpages has rules about how many Amazon adverts you can have.
Don't they give you some kind of warning if you've gone over the limit? I usually do no more than 3 of each, but maybe that's too many? I write fairly long hubs. Any thoughts?

If we turn off HubPages Ads and replace them with one Amazon Ad would our ability to earn decent money be compromised? Would we still earn from Adsense? Could someone please explain the different scenario's to me so that I can better judge and understand which option is better for...

Over the last week the traffic to one of my hubs The Animal Planet Mermaid Hoax dramatically increased. It went from less than a hundred hits a week to nearly 7,000 hits in one week! My other mermaid hubs also had an increase in traffic but nearly as much. The reason for this, is the...

I started work on my new hub this evening..."Climate Change and it's Effect on the Erogenous Zones"and got the message ads disabled. As one (yes, only one) of my hubs is already in its first rewrite and resubmitted after being described as sub standard I thought I wouldn't risk...

Hi all, Just wondering if I can turn off ads on all my hubs and just focus on Amazon affiliates? I am banned from the adsense programme(not sure why) and have always had better luck with Amazon. ThanksKevin

I'm sure I'm not alone in this. When I open a page I do not want it to start talking to me or playing music unless I press play. I really hate those adverts that are like a TV advert and appear on the page, and start playing without being clicked. Especially if I have multiple tabs / windows open...

I don't know if this is workable or not, it's just a suggestion.However I was just reading a thread about hubbers "rewarding" other hubbers by clicking their adverts. My suggestion: Since we cannot see Kontera adverts while logged in, could the same be applied to Adsense?Obviously there...
