If a hub is identified as overly promotional, it can be because of a number of reasons. One, it may have too many links. According to HubPages, a hub can only have a maximum of 2 links to any one domain, otherwise it would be considered overly promotional.
A hub also cannot have too many eBay or Amazon products. You must have 50 words of text for every product that you have in your hub. So, if a hub has 100 words, that means, there must only be 2 products listed in that hub (either 2 eBay products, 2 Amazon products or 1 eBay and 1 Amazon product).
For other reasons why a hub might be considered overly promotional, check out the Hubpages learning center guide on this topic here: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/publ … d_22732854 . Hope this helped.

Wouldn't it be nice if some explanation about the hub came with the above mentioned notices. All you get is the general notice that you hub is overly promotional or substandard and it needs to be fixed. If it is re-submitted and is not fixed properly you could be banned from...
