Hi all,
Ive recently been working on an article which I submitted for niche sites. Essentislly it was approved but needed changes. I went through their dot points and suggestions and reworked it. They have said its good but editors will edit it before moving it. They said I can edit it further but if not enough editing is done, I will lose my place in the queue.
Im keen to see the reworked article but frustrated as it must be just some minor points now. They did say it wasnt 'organased' enough previously which I think is whats wrong with it. I know I refine it further but anyone care to weigh in ? https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Movi … fending-it
I'm fairly new here, but I think at least some of what they want is more breaks between the text. The information is pretty good, but there are large walls of text. If you space out your pictures more, I think you will be good to go.
My first reaction - I suggest you read my Hub on "How to Optimize Your Hubs". You'll find it on the slider in my profile. The section on introductions is especially relevant to you!
It's important to keep in mind that although you'll get comments from other Hubbers, you are NOT writing for them. The vast majority of your audience will be complete strangers, who've found your Hub on Google. When they arrive at your Hub, you have a couple of sentences to grab their attention - if you fail, they'll click back to Google and find another review. So cut the waffle! If you want to tell readers why you chose that particular film, or anything else about yourself, save it for the end of the Hub.
For the same reason, I would move the Movie Specifications to the end of the Hub, and jump straight into "What's It About".
Your paragraphs are too long. You don't have to break them up with pictures, just break them up into more paragraphs. Obviously break where it makes sense, but a paragraph of more than ten lines is too long.
I would use a Callout capsule for your "ratings" ("I give it 3 dead rats out of 5").
Yep i hear you on the waffle!
Great ideas. Thanks heaps. Ill read your hub and try some of those changes.

Does anyone know why some submissions to niche sits are approved in 24 hours and others go 3 weeks or more. I had one that took over 3 weeks , but was finally approved. I have another now that I have been waiting on for over 3 weeks (The one I submitted 2 weeks after this one is already approved.)...

I find that the time period is usually under a week. Once I had one go with no response for 3 weeks. Finally, I emailed the team and the next day it was approved. My last submission has gone 10 days without a response. What is your experience with this?

I recently started cleaning up my hubs and I plan to start submitting them to to the niche sites - well rather, the ones that are not already on. I submitted an article this month, however I can't remember which one it was (terrible memory, I know.) How can I know if my submission was successful?...

Just curious, but does anyone have experience with this? How'd you do it? Did you tell Google the article moved somehow or do anything else fancy? Or did you just copy, paste, delete from HubPages, and wait for Google to catch up?Im guessing there might be some duplicate content penalties from...

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...

Hi,There's one hub of mine that was averaging around 200 views a day and getting plenty of Amazon sales around a year and a half ago, then throughout the first quarters of last year it was stable at around 50 views and fast forward to the present day... for it to cross 15 a day is hoping for too...
