(Had to change p...o..r...n to Nasty, couldn't publish with that there)
Bet you never thought you would see that on here did you?
Fact is, I couldn't find my hub Funny Stuff from Victorian London.
So I went into Google and put it in the search. Found it, and clicked!!
It seems that they have taken my URL somehow added there's so when I clicked on it was, well, ya know!
It doesn't show up on my legitimate one so I can't do the google zap thing.
Any suggestions?
And no, not what site is it so we can all go take a look.....LOL!
Seriously, I do need to get rid of it.
Hi Nell,
It can't be the same URL as two pages can't exist on the same one. And you can't copyright titles, so there's nothing you can do except ignore it.
What do you mean when you say you couldn't find your article? Can you get to it from your account page? And can you see the difference when you compare the two URLs?
Okay I looked at your profile and found this: https://hubpages.com/education/How-To-S … range-Past
I'm not seeing anything odd when I put your title into a search. Your article isn't showing up, but other similar ones are. The top one is an article from Buzzfeed and there are several history ones on the first page of Google results. It might be because your URL and your title are very different.
This is a screen shot. Take a look at the url under my title. It looks like my hub, but if you click on my title it brings up p.....o....r....n. got to write it like that as hubpages won't allow the word on here.
I think you can ignore it, Nell. It'll be taken down soon enough. However, you could submit a request to have it excluded from Google's results. Easily done.
You can file a complaint with Google here. Click "Submit a Legal Request" to get started.
I'm a little confused also Nell. I've had articles show as being copied, but when you click on the link you are redirected to an adult site. Is this what you mean?
I usually leave these well alone, especially as the sites seem to get shut down eventually.

A year or two ago, I posted a thread where I offered to give feedback on hubs and how to improve them. I then went on to write a post based on the most common mistakes I saw people making (you can read it on the slider on my profile.)This time, I'm going to offer title suggestions. Post ONE title...

My most recent hub was Snipped and given a new short title by staff which does not properly reflect the contents of the hub. Views have been negatively impacted and have not picked up after the change. I want to change the title back to what it was. I wrote to staff...

When I first started writing at HubPages I was under the impression that one should make the url and the first title of their hub the same.So my question now is: When trying to write the url for maximum traffic, how much should you really deviate on the main title? Or does it even matter if the key...

A lot of Hubbers have objected to a very famous Hub on HubPages - The Yahoo Mail Hub -http://hubpages.com/hub/www_yahoomail_comBut my point is what TOS does it violates?The author didn't claim he is an official representative/staff of Yahoo Mail. The hub simply describes Y Mail. If people are fool...

What does the A after my hub title mean?When in the "my account" section, and looking at the list of all my hub titles, most have an A at the end of the title, whiles a very few don't. What is the A?

I originally began the hub as a poem only -- then I got so involved in research of the place where I wrote the poem that I changed the title to an Educational/historical site hub. However, I had saved the hub unpublished before I changed the title and category. Now the link is still the poem title...
