Over saturated topics.
Is there a list or tabulation of the topics that have become over saturated and are now deemed "restricted" topics?
Weight loss is a natural but abdominal is often coming up when I am trying to publish articles. Is fitness and exercise close at hand for a restricted topic?
My topics on science do exceptionally well and I feel I should be devoting more efforts as a writer to what is simpler to me finance and economics. Yet I still feel there is so much in the field of fitness that is mis communicated and hyped. I feel for the person who wants to learn but doesn't have the money.
I'm not sure if there is a list, I've seen the filters on abdominals.....but do not think fitness and exercise are, that's all I write about and I haven't had any issues.
I recently wrote a hub about fitness (running and physiology to be more specific) and didn't get a warning about it being a restricted topic.
I suspect weight loss might be more restricted than fitness because it's also an over saturated affiliate niche. A lot of people writing about weight loss (not necessarily here, but on the Internet in general) are doing so to promote affiliate products, so restricting the topic is probably one way to fight spam.

I wrote 4 hubs on calories, all of them are featured. I searched for them and didn't find any of them on the first 5 pages of Google "proper". Then it occurred to me to add ", hubpages" to my search for each hub. A Google page came up, and there they were, all four hubs were the...

As a consequence of seeing a post in the political and social area discussions, I decided to do a Hub Pages search for marijuana. There are quite a few published hubs about it. So, are Hubbers allowed to write about it, or not? The hubs I saw had Google ads displayed on them, too. I am confused.

Does anybody ever go to the learning center or read Adsense rules about restricted topics and forbidden topics. Seeing more and more hubs on gambling, drugs, MLM, PPC, etc which are restricted topics on HP and against Google Adsense rules which means they are forbidden...

I looked in the search box and couldn't find it on HubPages. I thought I saw somewhere where someone showed a list of "what topics not to write about because the web is over saturated."Things like Acai Berry, Diets, Viagra and such.Does anyone know where that list is located?
