Ad Sense activation without linking PayPal account

   Hello, good people!
   I wanted to ask if it is possible to activate ad sense without linking a Paypal account.
   Secondly, I want to ask if I publish my articles and have no Account linked to my profile, will the ads still appear on my articles? And if not, then if I get enough views for earning and add an account later, will those views be counted

      You won't get your articles featured unless you use legal images. Your story is using a watermarked Shutterstock image.

      There are links to sites where you can find Creative Commons licensed images that are free to use.
      
      Good luck.

            You have zero featured articles.
            
            And even if you did, it would likely be temporary if you were breaking copyright laws.

                  I was trying to help you.
                  
                  It is a fact... using illegal shutterstock images will always prevent a hub from being featured.

                     It is happening in your replies... whenever I try to type messages and ask for help, only the first two lines are sent as replies. The remaining text disappears. I deleted my reply before too, and then rewrote it, checked the preview, and then sent it. then checked it again.
                     there was a whole big text under the first line mentioning more help required regarding my image, but everything got deleted.
                     
                     So, precaution for not getting my reply 3rd time deleted. I will send you this message as a Fanmail. and I am really sorry if you felt offended. I didn't mean it.

                        Ok, no problem. What did you want to know about finding suitable images?
                        
                        You can get them from Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, and other sites. There's a list in that link I gave you.

                           yeah, that link is helpful, thank you. I just wanted to ask what I should do if I want to use the same image but without that watermark or not violate any rules or rights. Is there any chance?

                              You have to pay them for the right to use it. Then they will grant you permission and give you access to the image(s) without the watermarks.
                              
                              However, using an image without the appropriate permission is not allowed, regardless of whether it's watermarked or not.
                              
                              All this is in the help section that Bev linked to. You should read it before you try to publish another article.

   Hi. HubPages uses its own ad program, not AdSense. You must have a PayPal account to receive payment from this program. Until you get this account, HubPages will receive all of the money that your articles earn. You will start earning money once you have the PayPal account and have entered the appropriate data in your HubPages account.

      Will Hubpages give me the payment they earned from my articles once I link my Paypal account, I mean the previous payment before from linking my account ?

         No, you will not earn as long you don't link your Paypal. So, my advice is to link you Paypal as soon as possible.

   I find it odd when newbies talk about activating Adsense. HP hasn't had Adsense for years. All I can guess is that an archaic guide was read and they received out-of-date advice.

         I can understand that an absolute beginner might have questions.
         
         However, I don't really get why they are so reluctant to use the help, which provides full explanations on pretty much all the FAQs.
         
         I think perhaps they underestimate all the stuff that you need to know and think they can get away with shortcuts.
         
         The best learning method, in my view, is to study the help and then, if still unsure about certain aspects, seek to fill in the gaps in the forums.
         
         I'm talking about general questions. If someone's wanting feedback on a specific article, then that's a little different.
