I always understood that you could have 2 links to the same domain OR one RSS feed. I never saw anything which said the number of items in the RSS feed must be limited.
I also thought "affiliate links" and links to other websites were two different things.
Jason has now posted that the RSS feed can only contain 2 items.
I'd like to know whether this is correct, because I have RSS feeds to other domains on several Hubs, and I am only seeing warnings for some of them.
For instance, I have a warning on this Hub:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Isis-Wings
but not on this one:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Belly-Dancing-on-HubPages
Is it because there are Amazon ads on the domain I've linked to in the first Hub, but not on the second one? Do they count as "affiliate links"?
sorry to start a new thread, but Jason closed the other one before I could ask for clarification.
You're entitled to 2 affiliate links in any form (whether they're in your text, your Links Capsule, or in an RSS feed) total per Hub, as the email explained to you.
If the links are not affiliate links, then you can have a non-affiliate RSS and 1 non-affiliate link to the same domain in the body of the same Hub.
An RSS feed composed of affiliate links can only have 2 items.

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...

Hey Staff,Please get your moderation team on the same page. I am beginning to get PISSED OFF at their incompetence.Last time I checked, RSS Feeds are allowed to be ON hubs and must be relevant to the HUB.I am getting sick and tired of moderators telling me to DELETE specific links inside RSS Feeds,...
