Is it de-featured due to quality or engagement? I see it has no comments, has it been getting a lot of traffic? I just had five hubs de-featured (it showed for engagement but two were high traffic hubs and when I went into edit it was actually due to too many ads for word count).
The rule is that you can have as many links in a Hub as you like, BUT only two to the same website.
This may be the reason: 3 text links in your hub point to the same domain.
1. For the exact age you need to be in order to retire in the USA, click here.

2. ranging from 5.5% to 8%.

3. Retirement & Survivors Benefits: Life Expectancy Calculator
https://www.socialsecurity.gov/
Although they are useful links, HP rule is no more than 2 links to same domain per hub.
Re the 1st link: Where it says "click here" is not an actual link anyway, so I would lose that whole sentence altogether.
Good luck!

I am so tired of trying to second guess the requirements. It seems that it takes 2-3 edits to go from UF engagement to Feature. Could someone please check out my recent edit which I edited again after getting the circle? I removed 1 of the 2 Zazzle links and another to a blog which may have been...

I recently updated a hub and it was unfeatured for quality.This is a page with over 180,000 views (search engines like it) and a view duration of 4.11 minutes (readers like it).There are a lot of Amazon ads but they are regularly clicked by visitors so they are obviously a valuable part of the...

I have only ever had one featured hub before but when I checked my account today I was shocked to find I have 13 in featured hubs due to low engagement. This is proof that traffic has fallen greatly. It's not just my lowest scoring hubs either..it is right across the board. Is anyone else...

What inspires you to write quality hubs when you know they can be unfeatured for low engagement?Making a quality content hub requires effort and dedication. With the update of Google Panda and low engagement of some hubs, which sometimes results to getting hubs unfeatured, what keeps you inspired...

I have a hub that was moved here from Squidoo in September that I haven't touched at all. But, now it's unfeatured due to lack of engagement. I thought I had four months before stuff like that happened.
