I posted a few days ago my first hub, which got featured only after I took down the link to my site.
Is it not allowed to put link if you're new? when can I start doing it?
Thanks! you guys are great community.
As far as I know it is not explicitly forbidden, but rushing with links is one of the signs of spammers, so it is good to build few hubs (what about five?) and some following before you start promoting your other sites.
From SEO point of view the link from your first hub is worthless anyway, because you as a hubber and your hub has practically zero authority. So there is really no need to link, right?
Another thing to consider is to include only related links. Only these can help a hub AND your site. Cheers!
Thank you!!
Very clear and informative info.
The best place to add your website link is on your profile page. If you are including your link for the benefit of your reader and not for your benefit, then you can add it to your Hub—your intention is very important. Many spammers write Hubs solely for the link and HubPages is not the place for this type of writing. Good luck! I enjoyed reading your first Hub!
Yes absolutely, PROVIDED your website is totally relevant to the subject of your Hub. Unrelated links are not allowed, ever.

If you use 2 amazon links, then you have used up your quota of 2 personal...

I hope this is in the right forum. I am trying to figure out what went wrong with my hub. The second day I was on the first page of google. I realized that I hadn't put the right title, I meant to change it before I published it and had forgot. so I went back and change the title....

I just updated my HubPages profile a couple days ago and in my profile linked to some of my favorite hub topics that I wrote about. Is this bad to do this since on the profile page we have those same hubs randomly come up below? I just don't want overkill but like the thought that I've got my...

Is there a way to get rid of unwanted traffic sites that attach a link to our hubs without our knowledge? I try to individually monitor my hubs for suspicious traffic and have written two letters to the offender who has sent me 8 visits on one hub this week. Now HubPages has marked my hub with a...
