Heads Up: The Word-to-Product Ratio Has Increased

In case you haven't heard, we've recently updated the word-to-product ratio for Hub moderation. Hubs with less than 100 words per Amazon or eBay Capsule are now at risk of being moderated. The new ratio will apply to all new Hubs. Old Hubs will be safe from moderation until they are updated, at which point they must be brought into compliance.

We have significant evidence at this point that readers prefer fewer products, so it's a good idea to check your old Hubs when you have the chance and update them to match the new guidelines.
