A hub thats been up for a year has given a warning of too many promotional links but I have none...
Basically the links that are mentioned are 'how to travel cheaper' and 'top tips for choosing the right bank'. Since the hub is on an animated film, they've definitely not been added by me. I've disabled the adds but the warning is still there, will I have to delete the hub?
Are your links from the same website? They normally limit the amount of links from the same website (except HubPages of course) to two before they start giving warnings... I have run into that problem before even though I would in no way say it was even promotional to begin with but you can't argue with an algorithm, or maybe you can. You can either change the links to something similar from a different website, delete them, or contact Hub Pages and see what they have to say. I wouldn't delete the Hub, that's just being extreme. (PS Sometimes if you attribute photos to the same website this issue also comes up so that's something to look at too.) Good luck!
Thanks for the comment, the links being found aren't being put up by me, they are advertisements being placed in my text boxes after my work, and if I delete them they just reappear even though I've disable the ads in settings.
I would definitely would contact the admins here at HubPages then since it is not something you are doing personally. Explain and hope they fix it. Good luck!
Thanks theophanes, I will have to contact Hubpages themselves, I see no other way of dealing with this if the warning doesn't go away. Thanks for the help

I just logged in and it shows every single one of my hubs highlighted in pink, to need review. The majority of these were well trafficked and featured hubs or editor's choice. Did something happen? I tried looking in the questions and forums and didn't see anything. I am not a former Squidoo person...

I've got the "Overly Promotional" red skull of doom on my top trafficked hub.Naturally it was the first one I edited. The affiliate links and "overly promotional" warnings at the top of the hub went away in the workshop. I republished it last night, and it's still published...

A lens of mine that was transferred to HubPages was identified as having too many affiliate links. I cleared out all the links except one affiliate link and one link to Wikipedia. The only other links on the page are all the ads that HubPages loads up the header, footer, and sidebar...

My Take on Hub Pages. It's alright for them to take our content and just add whatever type of adds they want. Why? Because when someone reads ""our content"" and clicks on one of these adds, Hub Pages makes money. Yes you say, they share it with us. The Truth! Hub...
