    Hi,
    I submitted an article on complex PTSD to one of the Hubpages network sites,
    I'd appreciate feedback.
    Here's the link  to the article  https://hubpages.com/health/Salvador-Fe … n-a-series

    Thanks very much

    Hello There David,

    Your article is fascinating. There are however a few things you can do to increase readability and SEO. All of the following fall within HPs recommendations.

    1. Reduce title length. HP recommends limiting article titles to 65 or fewer characters. Yours currently has 110. Like most people, I never heard of Salvador Ferenczi before reading your article. For increased search visibility, I suggest removing his name, the CPTSD abbreviation and the text in parentheses from your title... then rearrange it sensically.

    2. Change subtitles to a more exacting definition of the topic that follows it.

    3. Proofread to correct grammar errors, and follow AP formatting. Examples include removing / in between song verses and - where commas should be, as well as changing caps at the beginning of common nouns (ie: mother, father) to lowercase letters.

    4. Change subtitle text formatting to paragraph formatting below the "what are complex..." subtitle, and at bottom of article.

    Those areas would be a great place to start. I hope this helps, and look forward to reading more of your work.

    Best,
    Rachael

    Hi there,

    I'd also add to Rachael's suggestions that each of your articles are better as stand-alone pieces, rather than Part One, Two, etc. Find a way to publish them so that they are completely self contained and based on their own individual key words. Otherwise, you may get visitors to the first one, but none to the sequential articles. If this doesn't work for you, then you might be better publishing an e-book.

    Don't use headings for paragraphs. It looks horrible.

    Think about adding a proper introduction which explains what the article is about right off the bat.

    Change the image. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the topic.

    Hope you get this approved for a network site. It's a fascinating and disturbing topic.
