Hi,
I have two articles that I have written that were not featured. I am honestly not sure why and I really don't know what to do. I have no links within and I am not selling nothing... I am not sure where I went wrong.
I would appreciate someones feedback... thank you. Also...could not have some articles featured prevent you from getting accepted with Google adsense? I have written more articles since I first applied and still no acceptance....
The two articles are:

Linda if you have a 1/2 circle beside your article it is unfeatured for lack of traffic (search engine traffic to be exact). Many of us are currently experiencing this and it can be pretty annoying.

2. Add a poll
3. Use the promotional buttons to the side of your article to increase traffic.
Good luck. I know how annoying this is because I see it on a regular basis.
Lady lorelei what is promotional button?
Where is located on hubs?

How can we tell if an article is removed from being seen by the search engines and is there a way for that article to be re-featured after it is edited. Our old articles were moved over from Squidoo so some are quite aged but I notice many no longer receive traffic so I suspect some may have been...

I'm thinking the answer is probably yes?If you have hubs that have been deemed "not featured", for one reason or another, will that factor into lowering your overall score/rating as a HubPages member? Example--let's say your overall rating is 75. If 10 non featured hubs become...

I signed up for the Earning Program a little over a year ago (before, I used to only earn through Amazon and Adsense) and while I am seeing earnings every day, I've only been able to reach payout twice. I've tried to update my hubs, use interesting titles and good photos, but I still find that my...
