When I started writing articles for hub pages, hub pages did not publish my articles until they are featured. That is how all my articles are published and featured. I am not in touch with hub pages for years now and now when i look into my article status, they all are downgraded from 'featured' to just 'published'. why?
First take a look at your account page. Were the articles unfeatured for quality or traffic? (Look at the symbol next to the title. There is a chart at the bottom of the page that explains what those symbols. mean.)
If it is because of traffic, there is not much we can do about that. It means no one was reading your artices. You can try to edit them, get them featured again, and get them recognized again by Google.
If it was because of quality there is a lot you can do. I only looked at one of your hubs as it was in the spotlight. The others are invisible since they are not published. It needs to be updated.
Things have changed a lot in 4 years. The Amazon capsule is now considered SPAM since you do not even mention anything about the book. There are numerous grammatical errors. The subject is not going to get many views anyway. If I were a searcher and I wanted to learn about HP I would most likely read HP official site, not the article you have written.
You really should start all over. Write a new article that can pass.
I now understand why the change in downgraded article status. I will rectify the articles and republish. Thanks
Dr. Marc has a good point. While you are updating and editing your old articles, you might want to consider starting new articles from scratch. This will give you the opportunity to write about new things which will help with motivation instead of just rewriting what you've already written. Doing both might be a nice balance. Good luck.

I recently had a hub un-featured for engagement, as the half-circle indicates. I think this is an unfair practice and should be eliminated entirely. Here's why I feel this way:Our hub traffic is often affected by the time of year, holidays, seasons, and current events to name a few. If left alone,...

When I go into my profile settings, I am given the choice of showing only Featured articles on my profile. I am also allowed to pick up to 6 hubs to spotlight.My question is, should I select the option of showing only featured hubs or all my hubs? Would showing all my hubs bring more traffic to...

Hello. Is it okay if our articles don't get featured every time? I have 11 articles, 7 featured and other just published. Does it make difference?

OK, I am seeing a worrisome trend that's repeating itself too often. My clients talk to me about one of their dog's behavior problems, so we go over some basics and then I Google the name of an article I have featured on hubpages so to print it out and give it as a hand-out, and it's no where to...
