Hi there, welcome.
I don't see any spammy elements. However, I would suggest that your article is not really what Hubpages is looking for. The whole concept of 'hubbing' is outdated now. The aim of any writer on HP is to get their article moved to a network site. Your reader has no idea what a hub is.
Also, we depend on outside sources for traffic, mainly from search engines. Your piece is not search-friendly; no-one is looking for this information. In fact, this sounds harsh, but the general readership is not interested in how you became a hubber.
Your concept of blogging is outdated. Many people create viable and commercial sites out of blogs. What you've written here is a personal blog post.
The section on Journals and Magazines is confusing. I have no idea what you mean by having to submit a job application and pay a fee to get published. I've never had that experience.
Write on topics that people are looking for. Your audience is not here among HP writers. It is out there, on the web. You cannot earn anything by writing personal accounts unless they answer problems, provide information, or otherwise attract traffic.
Don't use an ampersand instead of 'and'.
Proof read carefully or get someone to take a look. There are many grammatical errors and odd phrasing throughout the piece, such as your concluding paragraph which is almost indecipherable. What poll are you referring to?
Check your facts; you make some erroneous claims. No-one is going to promote your writing for you. If your work gets featured, it only means that your articles can potentially appear in search results. That's all. It's up to you to write articles that will attract traffic.
Spend some time at the Learning Center; do your research before beginning another article: https://hubpageshelp.com/
Sorry, this is probably not what you were hoping for. However, there is no point you wasting your time writing material no-one will read.
Good luck.
Hi there,
thanks alot for such an elaborated and helpful reply. Now i got the errors they state under spammy, though seems like hub needs an update too for more specific at spotting which error under spam category. The poll i had removed before re publishing it as i thought may be its because of it the article was getting spammy troublesome. Thanks again for help and guide.

So after getting fed up with the freelancing website I was working for I started searching around for a new place to write for. So I found Hubpages, and after reading through the user guide (ok I'll admit, I read the first five chapters and skimmed the rest)it looks slightly promising and a little...

When googling something are you looking for short easy to read or long very explained answers?I'm confused. We are encouraged to write very long hubs. However I have always been the one when googling something to look for the shortest easiest (but of course understandable) answer. To me google is...
