Increase in hubs that are nothing more than an add
Is it just me or are we seeing an increase in hubs which are nothing more than an advertisement for a company,service or product ? Often with no author's photo or location info.

yes they can be flagged, it just means that you, in your opinion, see something that does not look proper or does not go by the rules of Hubpages. The Hubpages team will re-view and take appropriate action if they deem it necessary.
Thanks

Beginning tomorrow (1/28/2015), all newly published and edited Hubs will be subject to an increased words per product limit.
