I'm fairly new to HP and am still learning the rules. HP edited an article (which I'm ok with) and removed the Amazon link. After researching, I'm still unsure if it wasn't "directly related" or not. I didn't mention the item by name in my article, but the link had to do with what I was writing about. Do any of you have any thoughts? Also, since the article has been moved to a niche site, can I edit it if I want the link added back in?
Welcome to HubPages Diana.
If you are sure the item is directly related, why didn't you discuss it in the content? Lacking that, in my opinion, is a major reason for making it look like a spammy ad – and the reason for removal.
You should also add content in the Amazon capsule itself. Discuss how you use the product. That adds authority, which is also helpful to avoid looking spammy. You don't actually have to be a user of the product, but you need to show authority on it in some way, otherwise it gets removed. HubPages is doing you a favor in that case because Google thinks of it as a spammy ad and will reduce your ranking.
Since your hub has been moved to a niche site, discuss it with the curator before you undo any changes they made, otherwise you risk the chance of being moved back to HubPages' main site. You can reply to the email they sent you mentioning the changes. I always get into a very informed discussion with them this way and I learn a lot from it. Just keep an open mind. They are there to help improve things for everyone.
Thank you, Glenn! As I said, I'm still learning. I appreciate your information. Thanks!

Hi,It has been a while since I added new content and published two new articles today (the Valentine articles). I got emails "Your article could be featured", so I went in to remove a couple in-text links I added, leaving two Amazon capsules for each article (they range between 1,000 -...

I don't know what is going on with my articles lately, but every time they edit them, my amazon capsules are removed. Once they remove the amazon products, they publish it and feature it. I don't understand why this is happening to my articles. If they are going to remove the amazon capsules, then...

Ok, here it is. Hubpages edited some of my hubs to "make them better" so they can be featured and moved to vertical sites. If I undo their "corrections" I risk having that hub removed from the featured status. When I have reviewed their "corrections"...
