Some guidance on the 'unique' content required by hubpages
Okay, so I am an internet writer, currently I am posting revised versions of my articles elusively to Ezine@rticles, Squidoo and Hubpages and my own websites. Each site receives the same article but revised and customized accordingly to the same site.
I have posted a few hubpages, I usually backlink to my site for SEO/pr purposes but noticed that this is generally a frowned upon thing on hubpages - so I have stopped doing this.
My question is, while my articles appear on different parts of the internet, how "unique" must it be before hubpages will consider it non-duplicate content.
Thanks :
The simple answer is until the duplicate flag has gone from the top of the hub. In most cases this will require a complete rewrite. Read the FAQ on duplicate content and also what constitutes overly promotional hubs.

Unique enough that a robot or even a real person could not notice the two were from the same source. I believe as long as you are doing this from your own unique articles, this is ok, but not if you are revising someone else's stuff. Also, regarding backlinks, you really just need to backlink from your other hubpages (which is not frowned upon) because the page rank of hubpage is quite good, you won't get much better links than that anyway.

I was on another thread and someone said many people sign up on HubPages, but very few go on to write a substantial number of quality Hubs.I wonder why this is and what HubPages can do to encourage people to stay on and improve their Hubs, which seems to be what they want.All my Hubs were recently...
