I have just had a book published and I want to know if it is OK to write an article about the book and of how I came to write it and provide links to Amazon, etc.
Thank you.
This is what the Learning Center says:
Purely promotional offers and articles designed only to promote other sites or businesses are not allowed. In particular, the following actions are likely to get your articles identified as overly promotional:
Including more than 2 links to any one domain
Keyword stuffed: repeatedly emphasizes words or phrases (often times with bold or italics)
Short "teasers" with links to "read more" at another site
Solely promotes a product, site, program, organization, or service
Excessive Amazon Capsules
Including links to a page that contains largely the same content as your article
Please note that promotional links are links that you have any interest in promoting (your blog, your Website, affiliate offers, etc.). Links to well-known Web resources which you don't have any personal interest in (like Wikipedia, news sites, encyclopedias, open directories, etc.) are exempt from this limitation.
You can find more details in the Learning Center.

Writing has always been my way of talking when no-one is listening so finding HubPages is as good as picking up the phone and knowing there is someone on the other end of the line.My problem is that I have so much to write about I don't know what my niche is or if I even want one. What do you think...
