Can you use hubs that have originally been posted on Hubpages on other sites?
No! The hubs would later get flagged as 'Duplicate Content' on hubpages since they would then be published in multiple places online.
You would need to completely rewrite the hub that your posting elsewhere so that it's original or expect to get flagged by hubpages once its discovers the same version on other web pages.
If it's your own hub you can, but you might be penalized for it.
You may publish anything that is your own work, regardless of whether it appears elsewhere on the internet. As has already been explained, it will be penalized with a lower HubScore. Also, duplicated content will not be allowed if it accompanies promotional links. For further clarification on these rules, please see: http://hubpages.com/hub/overly-promotional
The clever way to do that is to post just the first paragraph and an image, then a "read more" which leads back to the original Hub.
Or even better, write a new "taster" paragraph and then link it back to the original.
That will give you content on your blog, plus a backlink for your Hub.
Well it's true that the Hub will get listed for being 'duplicate content' - the consequence of this is that the Hubscore is lower and therefore may not be as visible on Google or Hubpages as it could be if it was only on Hubpages.
The Hub will not get deleted or 'turned off'....
Yeah if you do it over the top Hubpages will lower your hubscore! some sites have worse discipline for doing it though..such as snipsly
You should use your blog or website to link back to your hub and drive traffic. That's perfectly allowed and in fact encouraged.
Yes I know, I was explaining to him what was exceptable, Norah has just clarified what I said, you don't automatically have a rock bottom hubscore if you have pasted one or two snipets here or there.
I wouldn't suggest it, but it can be done. What everyone else said is absolutely right, it's considered duplicate content and may get flagged. Besides that, google also has a negative view on it as well.
Still, you can do things the smart way. I keep a separate blog to drive traffic here, and it seems to work pretty well. I'll post the first paragraph or two of my article, and then some miscellaneous ramblings to go along with it, and make sure that it links back to here. The benefit of that is that I get a lot of clicks from the blog account, and then get more from here.

I took a few years off from writing avidly to focus on two degrees in English and Creative Writing. Now, as I am getting back into the content article writing routine again, I decided to add some creative writing flair to my content writing style. I thought it would be more engaging for the reader,...

In light of the Google algo change, it is now obvious and confirmed that hub-hopping is VERY important. I feel that if you publish here, you should hub hop when you can. As it should hopefully increase our revenue and hopefully take this hubpages back to the top, where it belongs.The problem is...

I was really excited when I saw this new feature because I thought it was a great way to support, get to know and interact with other hubbers...But...for the most part, with some exceptions it is a load of garbage. When I think of all the painstaking time I take putting a hub together...and I...

This forum is a place for you to post hubs that you think are clearly of low quality and need flagging. Committed hubbers should follow this forum and check these hubs posted for quality when they have the time. If a hub has been clearly copied (for example from a PDF file that the plagiarism...

I really can't point any of you to the many discussions there were about whether RSS feeds that display our own Hubs in a specific Hub of ours are a violation of the HP rules or not.I read info that the "best", "latest", and "hot" categories were not appropriate to add...

HubPages has this wonderful feature called Hub Hopping or Hub Hop to flag low-quality/copied/spam content. I know some hubbers do use this and help HP staff weed out the substandard content. Here's one more reason why everyone should 'hub hop.' I came across this thread on a Google...
