HubPages New Ad Program Review

You might have got the email from HubPages weekly report on 3^rd March 2011, and it reports that HubPages blog has been updated with a very interesting post that all authors around the globe would like to read. It’s about an increase in revenue and let me give you brief and then we’ll discuss about it.

• You can now earn via PayPal.

• New ads will be provided by advertisers of different scale.

• We will be able to choose the advertising spot for the ad, not precisely, but just like we split our content in two capsules for an Adsense ad to be placed between them, we will be able to adjust our capsules.

• The payout limit is $50.

• HubPages will personally invite top Hubbers for the program (they said, it would be done randomly) and by June, all Hubbers around the globe will get an access to the program (read terms and conditions on HubPages Blog).

• You must have a valid Adsense and PayPal account.

• For the rest, visit HubPages blog for New Ad Program.

Let’s discuss why Hubbers should care about new ad program?

• The program pays via PayPal, which is the best option than Adsense check and give me few seconds to tell you ‘Why?’

• Adsense has several options for payment, however, I am talking about Standard Delivery (for checks) to be specific (cause I am not discussing Adsense payment options) and that takes more than a week, it does not even arrive for some reason and then, we have to reissue the check, which (again) takes heck lot of time.

• What if, HubPages is your only part-time job? And even if it is not and you are doing a part-time job somewhere else, then you do realize the value of every single penny that you earn. That is why, I am sure that if you are relying on Google Adsense check, on monthly basis, then one ‘miss’ must affect you  a lot.

• In case of PayPal, you can add your bank account (and PayPal supports a long list of supported Banks from every country), and without a delay, the money gets transferred in your account (just 2 days and a maximum of one week that you can certainly depend on).

• $50 payout limit may seem a long way to go, but think about it. HubPages is one of the top article revenue sites in the world, visibility is very nice, articles get indexed by top search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.), and if you think you have the ‘thing’ to compose quality hubs (you know you need it anyway), then $50 is nothing in comparison to $100, which is the payout limit for Adsense Check.

• Leveraging our current traffic was the best part (after payment via PayPal) because the new ad program will only make our work easier. You see, we will not have to work extra hard to earn additional revenue. We can work at our own pace, like we used to, so we will not feel a thing. Visitors, who click on Adsense Ads, will click on these new ads at the same rate. We’ll also generate revenue at the same rate (not particularly, but as an average), however, we’ll reach the payout quicker than Adsense, so it’s a win-win situation.

• I think that June is a lot far than where we stand right now. But time will not cease and June could be said ‘just around the corner’. So, till then we need to publish articles and generate quality visitors, so that, once we join the new ad program by HubPages, we’ll be able to leverage the massive traffic at its best.

• So… till then… have fun writing with HubPages. Good Luck friends.
