If we had previously linked two articles together, and one of them is subsequently moved to a niche site, will there be a redirect, or do we have to adjust that manually, or eliminate the link altogether?
DzyMsLizzy,
I bring up this problem again: When our hubs are first set for designation, SOME hubs that I am about to publish DO NOT fit into any HP category . . so I just sit and stare. Can't the HP engineers do something for us?
This might help: HubPages recently clarified that if a Hub is humorous, it must always go in the Humor category. It doesn't matter what you're being humorous about.
Agreed, but it is hard to find. IMO, "humor" should be a top level category, and not a subset of another.
I can see why they don't make it top level After all, HubPages exists to make money and creative writing of all types - including humor - doesn't make money. So it makes sense for them to lump all creative writing into one category.
I agree it's hard to find though. It's here:
Books, Literature, and Writing » Commercial & Creative Writing » Creative Writing » Humor Writing
I do agree, though, that there are plenty of illogicalities in the category tree. I don't know why HubPages created their own instead of using something standard.
@Marisa, thanks so much. I really do not need to be sitting up at 1:30 a.m. and by the way, I voted for YOU. I meant to. You are good.
So I will just plug in something that I think is Creative Writing etc. and it will not go into Automotive.
Good.
Have an EZ day.
Indeed--why would be be doing any 'commercial' writing on here? I would presume that would be more like writing advertising copy or text for a technical manual of some sort....puzzling, indeed, given that promotion of other sites/entities/businesses is strictly forbidden here.

Just curious: How many hubs do you you currently have online right now and how many of them have already been moved to the niche sites?

I write on a variety of subjects in a variety of topics. Some of my articles are humor or satire. When it comes to submitting hubs to niche sites I am conflicted. Should I submit my totally silly article about getting better gas mileage to Axleaddict or Letterpile? Should I...

I have been pleased with the audience and revenue for my articles on HubPages since joining the site some years ago.I commend the company for creating the successful niche sites at a time when similar sites were folding. My existing articles that moved to those sites have done even better than...

I know very little about SEO. If you have hubs on niche sites, is it still important to have a knowledge of SEO? I get little love from Goggle.

Hi,Do more experienced Hubbers have any useful tips for getting your article moved to a niche site? I kept seeing advice that goes something like "make sure you write a high-quality article" but it just seems so vague to me. I have 9 articles now and the only one that was moved to a niche...
