How many types of capsules do you use when writing a hub?
Do you simply use text capsules and the one photo capsule that pops up on a blank hub or do you try to incorporate as many capsules as you can (amazon, video, poll, etc).
I will use at least one text and one photo along with ebay and Amazon. I have used the poll in quite a few as well. Several have the Google maps in them, and of course the video capsules. I have experimented around with various aspects. I find that it will depend on the hub and the subject matter at times on how I will format the overall hub. Oh, I have also used the "rating" capsule in the few recipe hubs I have up and related recipe capsules.
I am usually using several text capsules, photo capsules and also incorporating a couple Amazon capsules now, besides the Adsense ones that are automatically included for us. When I first started I kept things very simple, but I am beginning to branch out and do more now.
I'm usually use tow or three text capsules, and in same or more quantity photo capsules. And also try for add an Video capsule if found related video.
I typically use several text modules, one photo module, one comment module, and one amazon module.
If possible I will add YouTube video's, Ebay products, Photos, Polls, Links and Maps.
In most of my Hubs I include all of these capsules because I just like the creative part about writing. Like creating an album of images and words.
Plain text and one picture can easily lead to Hubbers clicking away from your Hub.

I have a question for those of you who use Amazon in your hubs. Let's say that you are writing a hub with a list of different products. Do you think it's better to put all the amazon stuff at the bottom of the hub, all in one place, or to spread the ads throughout the hub, with one ad per product?...

Had never done a “sales” hub before so decided to try. Have tweaked and tweaked this hub but it still keeps on being not featured due to quality. Getting a little T’d . . . http://geminifox.hubpages.com/hub/Green … t-Friendly- Have every single one of the “goal” (attributes) boxes ticked off...

Today I noticed that when I click on the 'go right' arrow in Amazon capsules, it brings me to the top of the page and I have to scroll down to the capsule again to click on the 'go up' arrow to place it next to a text capsule. Is this a glitch/bug? I can't recall I had this problem earlier and...

It is my understanding that we are only entitled to have two Amazon Ads on a Hub. I still see many Hubs with more than two Ads and also Hubs with several capsules which contain two Ads each. What is the official ruling about this please?

Authoring Hubs is about sharing and spreading ideas. Most of what we do is word-based, and a capsule to show off related Zazzle stuff would be an eye-catching way to allow readers interested in those ideas to buy products which celebrate them, such as relevant designs, graphics, statements,...

Is there a balance of Amazon products on a page that makes a hub overly promotional? Or is it dependent on the individual hub (over and beyond the 50 words per product)?
