Hello guys, can you please take a look at my hub and share your opinion what I need to improve to pass the quality assessment? Thank you in advance!
Here is my article: Why User Experience Is the Most Important Factor for Ranking High on Google (must be signed in to view)
Hi there,
Try removing the links and then see if it gets featured.
You should also cite the source of your images, making sure they are legal to use.
There is no need for any of the links. HP does not want readers to leave the page as they read the article. You should delete them as they will stop your article getting through QAP.
If you feel they are really important for your reader, put them in a capsule at the end titled something like "References" or "Further information."
I removed the links and provided the sources of photos, even though they are free for use. And, again it was rejected. Could you take another look and tell me what's keeping my article from being published?
Thank you!
Put the article aside for a week and then come back and look at it with fresh eyes. In the meantime here are a few things that would improve it.
You write "It is safe to say that if your business is not visible online, you don't have a chance to succeed. While this is 100% true etc."
Where are the facts to back this up? I totally disagree with you. (Or did you mean to write "not 100% true") My business it successful, yet I have no website or social media presence. If you are going to make claims like this, you must be able to back it with facts. Otherwise reword your sentence so that it is clear it's only an opinion.
The phrases "user experience" and "superior user experience" are overused and look like keyword stuffing. Try to replace some of them with alternative terms.
Be careful how you split your writing into capsules. The ads can distort the reader experience. It may be better to put " How Can You Build a Loyal Brand?" and "Superior User Experience Makes You Relevant for Google" into one capsule as currently they are split up by two ads.
Good luck.
Hi. Since you’ve added suitable sources for the photos and have removed the links, it must be the content that’s the problem. I think Beth has raised a valid point that you should consider. I think there are also some other points that you should think about.
You say that stealing competitors’ ideas and tactics “might seem like an excellent way to make money, but it doesn't grant your business success that lasts”. You might want to discuss any ethical problems involved in stealing other people’s ideas.
In your third illustration, you list steps that are needed to optimize a website. It would be good to describe these steps and explain why they are helpful instead of just listing them.
Near the end of the article, you say that “finally, the natural navigational structure will lead them to the product or services you are selling, and at this moment, you will be able to make the sale.” I don’t think that simply being able to discover a product or service on a website is enough to persuade someone to make a purchase. There are other factors involved in the decision. Speaking from personal experience, the price of a product, its shipping cost, and the shipping time are important factors to consider.
You might want to reword the first paragraph of the last text capsule. I find the last sentence of the paragraph a bit confusing because you say that the person is doing everything that's necessary, yet they still aren't successful. In addition, you say that “user experience is everything”. While I agree that it’s important, I don’t think it’s “everything”. I do think that it’s “one of the most important factors”, as you say earlier in the article, however.
I changed all of the problematic bits you pointed out, so I am really hoping this time my text will pass the evaluation.
Thank you.

This Hub has failed QAP due to spammy elements. I know that means the Amazon capsules, but honestly - if genuine product reviews like this can't pass QAP, things have become ridiculous: Recommended DVD's for Male Ballet Dancers. If I remove all the Amazon capsules, I feel like adding an...
