Other sites share revenue n terms of share like (50% site, 50% publisher) but hubpages works on a different revenue share. According to hubpages, 60 % of the time they show Publisher's ads & 40% of the time they show their own ads.I studies a bit & they really didnt show my ads 60% of the time . not even 40% of the time. They are allowed to put 6 adsense units per pages, as they are premium publishers. But 5 ads out of every 6 ads are shown with hubpages adsense id. Rarely,they showed any of my ad( with my publisher idf) that too at the bottom of the ride sidebar, which is worst place to get good CTR. I even saw they always use best ad placement for there own ads for.eg. ( ads above post,ads below post, ads inside the post ) I really wonder how any one can really make money with such ad placement.. :O & people claim to make 1000 $ every month. :P They are few good point i noticed about Hubpages are 1. Hubpages CPM ads which can fetch you steady income 2. ebay & amazon are awesome & you really make lot of money from them 3. great for backlinks, promoting your stuff I don't know if anyone has noticed this thing or not.... i really do not agree with what you all guys say.

Another thing is the hubs are easily indexed by Google which only takes one up to three days of waiting.

Yes I agree that people looking for pictures will rarely buy anything. They mey click on some of your ads for more pictures but these kind of ads pay you the least. They can pay you as low as $0.01 per click. Just imagine how long will it take to make $1.0 with picture hubs / blogs etc. <abbr><em>Ray’s last blog post..How to manage your money | Money Managing Tips and Advice</abbr></em> Great Article.

Regarding the Nicole Kidman pics, I had similar success writing anything about playboy or nude athletes on my Beijing Olympic site. They were the most popular posts, but its not the kind of traffic that makes you money. How about writing guest posts on really popular blogs?

On the contrary, they are great traffic builders, I have a few myself, and frankly, they get more traffic than Squidoo lenses (the ones I've done anyway!) No, they are not a waste of time!!
