I get a warning that my hub is "commercial", but I have no ads and no affiliate links and I...
don't link to any sites that do. What's going on here? Hub Pages cannot be "hobby pages"?
It's difficult to know what the problem was without actually reading the hub or getting more info about it. Read the HubPages help section carefully, and you may find an answer there. You can also search for hubs that provide info on what exactly a commercial hub is.
The FAQ explains the rules around this designation,
http://hubpages.com/faq/#commercial
Are you talking about a business like making hair bows and you sell them as well? If you are promoting your home business, that's considered commercial.
If you don't have lots of links, that is usually the culprit.
The third option is that you have a separate ad site running that is non-HubPages.

I've seen some hubs with affiliate links on them... such as from Commission Junction. Is there a HubPages policy on using these types of links?

I have just started here on HUB Pages. I have posted 2 Hub pages so far. I would like to know how I can literally add already approved links for affiliate marketing to my HUB pages? Thank you!

Can anybody explain to me why writing an article about paying off credit card debt is a violation of the TOS? I have been unable to find anything about this in the TOS or learning center, yet the warning appeared when I saved my article unpublished. I've written to the team to ask about...
