This is what happens to a hub when you write it and save it unpublished. It will show you where the ads are going to be.
If you go back to it, click "edit" and see if it has a "publish now" option. Hopefully this works for you.
I read the hub I believe you are talking about. The little girl, soldier, shiny boots one? I have no idea why the ads aren't showing up on it.
A thought, though: go back in to edit mode on your hub and make sure this box is checked: "content meets the conditions of the Google AdSense Program Policy. " If it's not, I don't believe the ads will display.
There could be another reason if it's not that. Try contacting the hub team, or post a message in the forum.
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.
