No you can't make you own ads with Google ad-sense, it is automated.
This is a great question. I know if you have your own webpage (not hub) you can decide all sorts of things related to how your ad appears. I wondered the same thing as you.
Can you place them in certain ways or color them etc. I think we can't do it on hubpages. I think it is automated. If any one who is a seasoned hubber knows please let us know!
Thanks.
The ads are generated by keyword phrases that appear within your Hub. Like in my case I've written about Remote Control Models and Toys. Therefore, within my articles the words "remote control" pops up often.As a result you'll find that the Google ads associated with the posting of my articles all pertain to Remote Control.
Even the suggested reading reflects the Hub.
In your example your Hub "Babysitting Monsters", their are Google ads relevant to babysitting and Nanny jobs.
And there is no need to read this since I see you have ads on your page lol.
All you got to do is go to "my account" on the top right side of your page, then on the left side there you click on "Earnings" and it should take you to where your adsense is. Just click get started and then link your adsense to hubpages, and thats it. As for earning money, you get paid per valid click on your ads.
I'm sorry but thats as much help as I can be since I'm new to this too, sorry. Hope I helped a bit!
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.
