Why is my Hub in violation of terms while others on the same subject are not?
I recently received notification from HubPages that they had unpublished one of my electronic cigarettes Hubs for "a violation of our Terms of Use" - I'm sure it's Google's terms I'm violating.
However, I see lots of other Hubs on the same topic out there. Does that mean these other Hubs don't utilize Adsense on their Hubs?
Just curious...
You should flag any other violations you come across. We only review and moderate hubs that have been flagged by the community or by our automated system.
All hubs must comply with Google AdSense TOS prior to publication, whether or not Google ads are enabled.
If you have any questions on why a hub has been taken down, you should respond to the violation email you received or contact us by filling out this form:

When I get a good idea for a key word to write a hub about I also write another article about the same subject in my blogs. No sense in wasting a good key word on just one hub.In fact if you do it right you can see yourself be ranked several times on the front page of google for the same key...

Last night I published a hub called 'How Birth Order Affects Personality Traits.' Today I got a comment which said something to the effect of 'this is a great hub compared to the others I read on the subject.' So it made me wonder what she was talking about, and to my horror, I realized that the...

Hey all! So in my time writing I will notice (usually after I publish a hub) that the first page of my particular keyword ALREADY has a HUB in the top results. Is it possible to overtake another hub? Just curious. It's not an intentional thing, just noticing that it happens once in a while...has...
