Aren't we allowed to provide links to our own HP hubs at the bottom of our hubs, if they're related?
The links to my related hubs have been removed/ snipped by HP edit team. Please share if anyone else has experienced that. I thought it was allowed and I have been doing it since the very beginning.
I think linking in general is becoming a wide grey area. For the Niche sites they are getting picky. I have read discussions in the forums and they run the gamut of when to use them and how. They are even requesting them for support on 'YMYL' articles for Niche sites to give credibility to the article. 'YMYL' are like financial and medical articles. It means Your Money Your Life.
I think we can basically do what we want for a hub for the main HubPages site. I see they still have the link capsule available to use in the Edit mode. But, as you experienced to be placed on a Niche site it is at the discretion of the editors.
Thank You Tim Mitchell for your response!
Yes I agree , for niche sites they snip away all the links .
Thanks for your elaborate answer . Very helpful!
Linking to your own articles on HP is considered self-promotion. They get clipped to prevent you from posting an overly-promotional article.
Thank you Lisa Vollrath for answering the question!
Yes I think now they don't like links to our hubs and consider it promotional. Thank You!

WE are not allowed to disclose earnings, etc in forum or elsewhere. But, there are several hubs with earnings per month, hub scores, number of hubs etc by the same hubber. They list names of hubbers that they are providing stats and income. I don't get it. These hubs are at least...

Honestly, HP needs to step up and start filtering their input. I have been here for over 5 years and I have watched a lot of changes, but what I see as what must be the most damaging to HP (ergo we writers) with Google is the number of low quality Hubs being allowed in the gate. I hear a lot of...
