I am planning on taking a long trip. I am going to write about it here on Hubpages. My question is can I use some of my hubs to create an e-book about the trip or would that be considered duplicate content? ...what say ye?
Seems like a question for the Powers That Be Brie.

Yeah..but the forum is faster..especially on a Saturday. If I don't get an authoritative answer I'll write them on Monday.
Brie,
Please let us know what the higher ups say about your questions. Logically you own your hubs so if nothing else you could un-publish which is something you probably don't want to do The other thing is that a book that mentions Hub pages may make them happy. I am looking forward to what they say.
Brie:
I'm not sure about this, but I do know that HP does not allow content that has been published elsewhere and that you can only republish hubs if you first remove them from HP.
However, that may only refer to online writing.
Also, HP is a brand name. Check with them first if you plan on using it in any way as you may be in violation of copyright doing that.
No, it definitely would not count as duplicate content. Several Hubbers have published ebooks using their Hubs as content.
The difference is that the content of an ebook isn't published on a web page anywhere, it's inside the book.
The answer to this question will help us all... Have a good trip Brie!
Not going quite yet..still have some planning to do and waiting on the passport..but thanks.

Two of my hubs needs revisions before republication because of duplicate content. But what if those hubs are just similar to the articles I myself have previously published in the net before? So basically I'm not copying anybody else's work, because both are mine. Is that allowed here? If not, how...

I am moving this question over here to ask for help from the hubpages team.2 of my hubs and some of hovalis' hubs seem to have had a penalty applied by google and have disappeared from the search rankings down to the last page. The conclusion we have come to is that they have been flagged for...

Why those of us moving over from Squidoo should not try to transfer our lenses to HubPages manually:I just moved one of my recipes that's fairly new, and doesn't have a high search engine ranking, thinking I would use it as a way to become familiar with the HubPages tools. I deleted the Squidoo...

Over the past couple of months I've been slowly reorganizing my content by niche. This means moving Hubs from one subdomain to another, as well as moving content from elsewhere on the web to HubPages. More often than not, each time I try to move a Hub I trigger the darn duplicate content...
