HubPages has very specific conditions that you have to follow if you wish to disable advertising on your Hubs. Details on what sort of Hubs are allowed to turn off their ads and how to do it can be found in the site FAQ,hubpages.com/faq/#turn-off-ads.
I have been thinking about this too because I have over 50 pages and I can't get an adsense account linked to HubPages because I am not living in the USA. I guess I will simply let HubPages keep the money (which probably aint much).
If they are google ads, unfortunately, you can not disable them. You can write a "non-commercial" hub and they will not appear. I have sent suggestions to hubpages for months suggesting they use another affiliate.
Google has too many restrictions and too many problems and they are greedy! Good luck! I have used Amazon since I signed up, much happier!
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.
