Can I place ads other than adsense and amazon/e-bay affiliate programs on by hubpage?

No. You can't. You cannot use any third party advertisements apart from the approved ones of HubPages.

Ok thanks loads. Whats the 86 you got by your pic and mine 27?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
