How can I change the language (deutsch to english) of advertisements in my hubs?
As I am living in Germany, some of the ads are in Deutsch. However, I think my articles are relevant to english speaking people and I would prefer if all advertisements are in english. Can I change the language of all ads to english?
I also live in Germany and have some of the ads in German. I suppose it's the result of behavioral targeting (the kind of targeting that uses information collected on an individual's web-browsing behavior, such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have made, to select which advertisements to display to that individual). This kind of targeting can be combined with contextual targeting (based on the surrounding content), or based on other factors like geography and demographics. For example, I see a lot of heine.de ads on my HubPages because I'm a buyer there and visit their site regularly. This means that people in other parts of the world don't have to necessarily see the same ads you do (and they probably won't).
These ads are part of the Google interest-based advertising program (behavioral targeting ad program) and there's a way to opt-out by clicking the "Opt out" button on the homepage of the Ads Preferences Manager. You'll have to delete your browser's cookies regularly though (unless you download the Google advertising cookie opt-out plugin).

The Tampa republican debate brought up the topic of a national language. This would mean all politics would be dealt in the English language. This includes voting ballots. What are the bonuses to such a policy and on the other hand what are the unintended consequences?

Is hubpages in danger of being over-run by writers from India who can't write proper English? I went to a hubpages question yesterday, and half the answers were from Indian hubbers who didn't understand the question but felt compelled to answer it anyway.It's not just answers. More than half of the...

I know we should report spun articles and the like, but the guidelines also warn to be careful not to report people who don't have English as their first language.However, I've come across hubs that are written by such people, and the English is pretty bad.I don't mean to be insensitive or...
