Is Hubpages Getting Greedy?

InternetMarketingIQ · 09-29-2009, 05:16 PM

I'm noticing a lot of MSN ads appearing where Google Ads used to appear. HubPages does not have a revenue sharing model in place for authors and MSN. So not only are they keeping 40% Of Adsense Revenues which I can understand... seems they have to make something, but they are keeping 100% of MSN Revenue which makes me question how much longer I'll use them as my opportunity to earn diminishes.

Internet marketers who are using Hubpages are mostly doing so as part of their back-linking strategy, rather than looking to Hubpages as a real source of income, surely?

hmm things like this remind me of why I personally don't like the idea of my revenue coming from third-party sites such as these. Overnight you may see an alteration in their terms of service, and the empire you had spent months building comes tumbling town in an instant.

Sorry to sound so damn negative! But definitely like to concentrate on making an income from my own properties.
