When I click on the suggest links for new hubs, I get one or two words highlighted in the first paragraphs and that's it. I also can't highlight my own words or phrases to turn them into a link. I have a lot of hubs, now that can't be linked to any other hubs on HP. Anything I can do?
Thanks, Terri
Manually insert the links while you are in edit mode and have the text box open. It also lets you insert your own referral tracker (which you can't with the suggest a link too) which means you can actually earn some money from sending people to other hubs.
hmmmm....don't know if I'm savvy enough. Are you saying I should manually type a link beside a chosen word in the text??? Won't that clutter the content a bit? And I'm not sure what you mean by a referral tracker. Haven't tackled that one yet.
The text capsule editor has an Insert Link button on the toolbar, which will appear if you highlight (click-and-drag over) the text you would like to make into a link. Then you can enter any URL you like, including the URL of a Hub you'd like to link to.
That said, the Link Suggestion tool should work, and after trying it out a bit on my own Hubs just now it seems to be okay. Can someone link me to a Hub of yours that you're finding the link tool isn't working on?
Thanks, I'll try that. having trouble with my browser today now. I've been trying to download firefox because I'm sick of IE...pain in the u know what. I'll try the links thing when I get the browser situation fixed. Thanks again.
Having the same problem myself. Thought I was just crazy!
no more crazy than I.................but that's really not saying much. I'm so sorry for you {laugh, laugh, chuckle, chuckle}
I'm mainly having this problem when I start an article, go out and come back in to finish it. If I do the suggest links on the first part and go out, it will not suggest any links for the second part. This is happening to all my hubs. I've been going in tweaking them and can't do suggest links on what I add to them either. Help, my Hub Karma is dropping...God forbid!
I have this problem with my last two Hubs. I will try again until the Suggestion Link will work! In the meantime I have discovered how insert links manually! Thanks to the Forum to exist!

I have tried to condition myself to use the referral tracker links whenever promoting my hubs. Sometimes I forget. Does anyone see any value in using them? Just wondering.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For fellow hubbers who don't know where to get the referral tracker links, at the bottom of each hub, the...

Do you still put a tracker link in your hubs?In all of my hubs I have a link in a blue box with a referral tracker with a heading offering to sign up with Hubpages to write articles. Is this still a good idea for new hubs since all the changes?

I spent some time searching and couldn't find the answer so...Does including a referral tracker destroy the value of the backlink? If so, is using a referral tracker for the interlinking between your hubs greater than the value the backlink will provide?

I've read the FAQ, darkside's hubs, and several forum threads and didn't see an answer to this.If somebody lands on one of my hubs via a Google search, for example, and thinks "WTF is this cr*p? I could do better!" or (hopefully!) "Wow, this is so awesome - I want to join this site...

For those of us who are testing out the new suggested links tool on Hubpages, what do you think to it?I have only been messing around with it for an hour, however I have to admit I am pretty impressed, it seems to provide a much simpler way to link to other hubs, especially when you previously had...
