I just tried to publish my 75th hub, but it didn't make it due to quality issues. This hasn't been a problem with my other hubs. I have no idea what I would need to improve to get it featured. Has anyone else had this problem?
My best tips to get s hub featured:
1) Make sure it's long enough 1000 words or more seems to be good
2) Include enough text capsule titles to guide the reader (and Mturk QAP) through the main points of your article
3) Add pictures- try to have at least three
Good luck!
Hi drpennypincher,
Thank you for the tips. I do have three pictures. Maybe I could add more, I don't know. I have four or five text capsules and it's very close to 1,000 words. I'm at a loss.
I had a hub rejected recently but I think it was because it was under 500 words. I don't know if Hubpages has set a 500 word minimum but making the hub longer got it approved.
Are your photos properly credited? Are the photos ones that you are allowed to use?
Hi Barbara, yes, I got them from Morguefile and I'm pretty sure they're all properly credited. I'm careful about that. But I'll double check again.
Ok, I checked my account again after adding a video and a new photo to make a total of four, and I see a little gray pending arrow. I'll keep you all posted.
This hub is nearly 1,000 words. I don't think it's the length. It's still pending, and I'm hoping that's a good sign.
Ok, now my hub is featured. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi,I published this hub last night. This morning, I see a blank space where the "H" for featured usually goes. I've never seen this happen before. Is the hub being moderated for some reason? I have not received an email or anything notifying me that the hub is in violation. Please give...

HiI have logged in today to find that around 50% of my hubs are not featured. I edited three of them but the not featured symbol still shows. How long does it take for the hubs to become featured again please?Thanks

I am venturing out into the forums on a rare occasion to personally ask a question I haven't seen anyone from HP answer to anyone's satisfaction to this point. I've just noticed a hubber which only joined around 14 hours ago who had a hub published only 30 minutes or so ago. See it for...

The hub I published this morning says not featured but has a good score and ads? I'm on my phone so I can't edit it. This is not a low quality hub though.

I sold a big item on Amazon at the beginning of last month, but it still hasn't been credited to my account. I know I have to wait for the item to be shipped but it's in stock so I can't think why it wouldn't have been sent out yet. It seems to be taking a very long time. Any ideas why?
