    Hi fellow Hubbers.

    Recently, I made my first Hub about a simple life advice and would like some feedback.

    http://popping.hubpages.com/hub/A-Few-W … ney-Online

    (disregard the url name, I didn't know how to change it. I changed my mind on writing that)

      167 words is not a hub. It is far too short.

      Plus what is the point you are trying to make?

      Bad things don't last forever? Tell that to the parents of the kids shot dead in Connecticut!

      Who is going to type in 'simple advice for anyone' into Google search? I see no point in your photo either. Is it yours?

      If I were you, I would unpublish and go back to the drawing board.

      BTW, welcome to Hubpages smile

    I've discovered that once you put in the url name/title, you cannot change it unfortunately.  You could delete the article and re-submit it though.

    Hi Popping,
    Your idea for the hub is good. I agree with btulloh098, it would be a good idea to publish under the title of your article as a new hub.

    Also it would be a good idea to expand on the topic, at least 500 words if you want your article to be found by search engines in the long run.

    I like your photo. At least one photo in an article is a good idea too.

    Hope that helps.

      Hi TechTonic, interesting articles. A few suggestions:
      A space after the full stop and a comma.
      Titles should be less than 67 characters
      Titles should be specific, in case of Sony Xperia, it would be a good idea to add words like smart phone or mobile phone, whichever is closest.
      Hope that helps

        Thanks a lot!
        You think I should edit these Hubs or leave them be and implement your suggestions in a new Hub?

          Please go ahead and edit the current hubs. No effort is wasted. Your hubs will be there for a long time and it is important to keep to a good quality standard.

      I would start it off diferent , rather than " Hey Guys ? Ask a question that will get peoples attention. I personally am not interested in reading product reviews so would pass by them while hub hopping but you need a comment button at the bottom for those that do .

        can you please check again?
