Hello, I am new here. Yesterday I uploaded my first article and it has got featured with a score 64 till now. How good is that? What does the score mean actually?
Hi there, welcome,
The score is fine. However, your 'review' isn't a review, it's just a brief synopsis of the book. There are a hundred other similar articles like that on this particular book. How can yours be different to those?
A review is based on the reader's personal opinion, for example:
What did you think of the writing?
What did you feel about the personalities?
Were your emotions affected by the events?
What did you think about the book overall?
Lastly, I'd suggest that you don't pick such a well-known, and already well-reviewed book. Pick something a little more mid-stream, if you like. Popular enough, but not so well-known.
This is the HubPages Learning Center: https://hubpageshelp.com/ There's a lot of information there about how to write good articles for HP.
Good luck.
You can't take pictures directly from Google Images, and you can't credit Google Images as the source. That's because Google doesn't own those images. If you find a picture on Google Images that you want to use, click on it and go to the real source to know whether the owner is giving permission for it to be used. If no permission is shown, you can't use it as you'll be violating the owner's copyright and could be sued.
That score is a good start. Now, if you are able to get good traffic, then, that will go up. Also, as you improve it through edits, your score can also go up.

I'm very confused. I learned on the forum that I could use the google images tool to filter for art that was free to use. When I use the filter, pictures from "deviantart" come up frequently. When I go to the page, I don't see anything except a copyright notice. However,...

I noticed a Hubpage which suggested ripping off original content and putting it on a blog with adsense to make money. It suggested that you could use the same method to make the content for a hubpage. I know that Google will ban adsense accounts for these copyright infringements. ...

Are images from Google "legal" to use on HP?Is HP okay with placing Google images on our hubs? I have seen many using just Google images and there are so many great images on Google and easy to find, but does HP consider those to be "legal" for use on our hubs?

Have you ever noticed that you spend more time allocating pictures and images for your hubs than you do actually writing it?
