Hi....
I understand the 2 link rule (ie. you can have up to 2 links going to a promotion domain within a single Hub).
However, it is also stated that Hubpages frowns on having links going to a single domain name spread over different Hubs.
I'd like to create several Hubs in a particular niche that I have a website in. I'd like to include 1-2 links in each of them going back to my site, but I definitely don't want to violate any terms of service.
How many links, spread over different Hubs, can I have going to the same domain? Again, I love Hubpages, but don't want to do anything to negative affect my account.
Thanks in advance.

A set number for this scenario has never been given. It clearly comes into play when every single Hub has one outgoing link to the same domain.
About the only way to know you've done too many is when your overall HubScore goes down and stays down.
I don't know that there's a number set in stone of how many you can have. But rest assured that the HP team will let you know quickly when you have exceeded it.
Uh...thanks.
The point is that I don't want to break any rules. It would be nice to know the exact number so that I don't exceed it.

You are allowed only 2 links to one singular domain.
However, since HubPages frowns on multiple hubs, linking to the same domain, I would suggest that you link to another domain, before it links back to your original domain, like a blog of some sort.
Since, I don't draw an income from anywhere else but HubPages, and a little bit of RedGage(which links are directed back to HubPages). I am not quite sure.
But, email: Team@HubPages.com and ask them.
Personally I would say you would be okay if the links going back to the one domain are relevant. If the links to your own site have nothing to do with the post, then it is pretty obvious that it is overly promotional.
Oli, all outgoing links are required to be relevant, read the TOS

I am working on one of my new websites - and I want to link back to my hubs here. How many times is this OK to do on a website page before it is overkill?

Article for discussion. I know that this recent development has already been mentioned by some hubbers in forums. But I am now wondering if this might be the main reason why we are seeing the current traffic plunges for many hubbers? See link...

I've seen some hubs with affiliate links on them... such as from Commission Junction. Is there a HubPages policy on using these types of links?

I find it hilarious that Hubpages pushes the concept of helping new Hubbers yet my Hub which has had very good reception by the community has been flagged for being both overly promotional and substandard.I had 5 social bookmarking links,and 2 other links to free tools absolutely related to the...

Hi,I know normally there cannot be more than 2 links to any one site on one hub.So, my question is, does that also count for links back to hubpages?For example, if I have two links back to myself and say 2 links to other hubbers' hubs, then is that considered 4 links (over the 2 limit) back to the...

One thing that we are all encouraged to do here on Hubpages is to find a niche and stick to it. I have had some success with this and do tend to write about certain things. But how many niches should we focus on. We know that Google likes us to be experts in things, but can we be...
