      Are you talking about the ads that appear on each of our articles? If so, that's the way of the HP world now. Nothing we can do about it.

      Define 'spam' as you see it and then we can help.

      I'm not sure what spammy elements they were referring to, but you do not attribute the photos in either of your hubs.  You need to state where you got them from and the license for their use.
      
      If they are your own, you need to say that.  If you just grabbed them off the internet, that is theft and not allowed on HubPages.
      
      Your latest article has not section headers which would make it easier for readers to follow the information that your are providing.

   Well, ADs are the lifeblood of any site and I don't see why we should keep commenting as to why they are there. Without it the site would collapse and that means all the writers would be going home.

   Probably what they mean by spammy elements in your work is certain elements which are not advisable to the writers to put in their work. It could be some unnecessary photographs or banners or words which has no relevance to the article. Wandering and scattered points are also termed as spammy elements.
   Recently I had some elements like that in one of my articles and it had not featured earlier. I went through it meticulously and removed all those unnecessary things and almost rewrote it and now it is featured.
   My understanding of spammy elements is this only.

      You told thd truth. If a writer insert two Amazon links in an article, it may be seen as spammy.                                     Seriously, I had to remove such links to have the article feature. Critically, spammy can mean many things. Repeating keywords, for example.

   It can refer to excessive self-promotion or promoting a person, company or service you are involved with - maybe promoting your family and yourself in your case?
   
   I don't know, I only really glanced at your articles...
