My G: drive is finally working on my laptop again, and I came across a reminder to myself about improving the quality of my hubs. It reads as follows:
Excellent grammar and spelling. Pay special attention to cases in your title and subtitles; this is one area where mistakes are common.
Current and correct information. Check the latest news, peer-reviewed journals, and other credible sources for new information on your subject.
Free of spammy elements (Hubs should contain no unrelated or tangentially related links, excessive products, etc).
High-quality, clear, attractive images (avoid pixelated images, blurry images, and images with watermarks).
Search-friendly and descriptive subtitles.
A relevant summary.
A mobile-optimized layout. Making all capsules full-width can make a big difference for mobile.
I confess, I have never received a 100 score on a hub, though I've had a couple Hub-of-the-Day awards. Maybe it's time to take these tips a little more seriously and try writing some more hubs, which have been few and far between for the past year or so.
Set your standards high and have fun!
@Jodah, Sakina, and SimpleHappy, thank you for supportive comments. Blessings!

I have revised the article 3 times. Removed links. Removed references to technology that is not even ours. There was never any sales language in it. It keeps getting rejected with no explanation of what is wrong with it. Why should we waste our time if there is no decent feedback?

Hi folks,As you know, when you're editing a hub, one of the areas that helps you reach the 'stellar' hub levels is the number of images that you include. You might be wondering why this is important - The main reason is because images *really* matter for SEO.As a comparison, here's my traffic from...
