Recently I celebrated one year on hubpages and decided to write a hub about my experiences. In fact, I've only just begun and so far the hub is only one paragraph long. It is entitled 'An amateur writing on the internet - Hubpages, one year on' and starts off by explaining that I was completely new to online writing and did not even know what basic terms like backlinking were.
Already a warning has come up saying that the ads will be disabled on this hub. Why??? I cannot imagine what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
I just finished a hub. When I started it I first put photos in and saved it unpublished. The same thing happened to me. I ignored it and continued to add to the hub over the next 2 weeks. The disabled ads message dissapeared shortly after adding more content. just continue to write in it. It should eventually go away.
Thanks Daffy Duck. It hasn't happened to me before so I'll try it and see
I recommend trying to complete the hub, as the pattern and frequency of words may play a role. If the warning is still there when you're done, contact HubPages prior to publishing.
Thanks, Website Examiner. I'll write a bit more and see what happens. Hopefully the warning will disappear before I get to the end or it might have been a waste of time!
Exactly the same thing happened to me recently, and I concur with Daffy Duck and Website Examiner. By the time I had my hub completed and ready to publish, the ads disabled warning went away. Hopefully this will be the case for you too. (In my case I think it was the word 'stimulation' that had triggered the warning, although I was using it purely in the context 'intellectual stimulation'...!)
Giselle Maine, I read your hub just now, and it is very benign. I agree about the word, however. In the OP's case, "Amateur" may be the problem. I also believe the warning will most likely go away when more text is added.
Yes WE, you are right. I simply deleted the word 'amateur' and the warning has disappeared. Thanks for your help
Eleanor's Words, thanks for letting me know. Glad it was solved.

Whilst editing and tweaking a lot of my hubs I found that one of my most successful hubs ever about slips had an ads disabled notice that said that after review a moderator had restored the ads. So feeling happy about that I got on with what I was doing only to find that after clicking on 'editing...
