I'd like feedback on my article: Small Town USA - Mulberry, Indiana

    Hi Hubbers,

    I'd like some help with passing the Quality Assessment Process. Will you please give feedback on my article Small Town USA - Mulberry, Indiana. What can I do to improve? Thanks!

    I see nothing spammy about this, so I really don't get why it keeps getting rejected. (this is an old piece that transferred over from Squidoo years ago...for some reason the transition shrunk up the photos)

    I'm thinking the small images in the text are a problem. You've got nice, large ones lower down the page, I think these should be moved up to replace the small ones.

    Besides deleting those small photos and replacing them with the more appropriate photos at the bottom, you also need to delete or improve that Amazon capsule, the "spammy" element of your hub. If you want to leave it on there, edit the capsule, go to the "add comment" section of the capsule, and include a statement of why you bought the book and recommend that people buy it.
    If you need more info on how to write an Amazon capsule so that it does not get snipped, you can look at examples on TimeTraveller2´s pages or read the hub by Marisa Wright.
    (If you do not make these changes to all of the hubs you have written they are never going to be moved to a niche site where they might get some traffic.)

    You can get some other tips on Amazon use by reading this forum:

    I think you should try and break up the text with more headings.
    Especially where you have the list of "small town realities"
    It would make your article easier to scan.
