   I'm new to Hubpages. I have published my article by improving many times. But all the time only one message from the reviewer 'Spammy Content'. I have checked all, there are not things like;
   1. Promotional links,
   2. Repetitive keyword,
   3. Amazon products link,
   4. Promoting other websites and many more,
   that has been mentioned in the article of Hubpages. I can't understand what seen to be spammy to the reviewer team in my article. Here my article link;

   I hope someone read my article and helps me to identify my mistake.

   Hi there,
   
   'Spammy elements' is listed as a possible cause. It is simply part of a form letter which is sent to anyone whose article fails QAP.
   
   Firstly, your English is not quite up to the standard required. It's pretty good, but there are a lot of minor grammatical errors.
   
   The image from 'Studydeko' is commercial and will contribute to those 'spammy elements'. You cannot lift images from the web. They have to be legal-to-use and carry a suitable license. The best (and safest) way is to use a site like Pixabay. Also images should be credited and contain a live link back to their source. This is so that editors can check easily... and you won't receive a demand for payment for unauthorised use.
   
   You make a claim regarding salt. You must back it up with an authoritative reference, i.e. a link to a proper study which proves it. And anytime you mention 'scientific research' then you need to reference which one you are referring to.
   
   Make sure the capitalisation of your subheadings is consistent.
   
   Remove the sentence at the end, "Okay, friends...". You aren't writing a blog.
   
   Good luck!

   Hi again,
   
   You can't take images from Pinterest either. It's impossible check the license unless you can find the source. All images belong to someone. They have copyright the same as writing.
   
   You have to cite the actual source so in your image capsule you would put:
   
   John Smith, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Pixabay.
   
   And the link should be to the actual photo URL, not just to Pixabay.com
   
   Personally, I just state the <originator's name> via Pixabay, because all images are legal from there. With the all-important live link, of course.
   
   All the info you need is here:

   Post the text of the notification here
   
   Edit: By the way, Wikipedia is not a recommended reference. You should link to a proper study that backs up your claim about avoiding salt in the evening.

      Hello,
      
      I had added some questions in forums some days before to get some advice on 'Spammy Elements' then I did a lot of research then do many changes for improving my article:
      
      1. Decreased the keywords,
      2. Tried to provide good content,
      3. Checked it is free from plagiarism,
      4. Updated the images, add images from Pixabay with providers link,
      5. Capitalized Subheading,
      6. Wrote the Title in APA format,
      7. Add my references, and more.
      
      But every time the same result, my article is rejected by saying 'Spammy content'. By spending the many days, this result comes, it discourages me.
      
      Please help me!

               Okay, that simply means it's not up to standard. Don't worry about the spam thing. It's a general, non-specific notification.
               
               You probably need to improve your English.

       I see links to 3 platforms. Unless you need to have those platforms linked in order to continue the discussion, I would remove the hyperlinks. Screenshots of the platforms with reference links would be less promotional than direct web links, but would still look spammy if they are not major topics.
       
       In addition, but not crucial, I would add the reasoning behind your key points and/or state your experience on the subject matter in the intro. Your/you is also used a lot in the read.

    Hmmm.  Spammy content is often triggered by links.  I don't see a problem with your links, but it may somehow be erroneously triggered by links to the coding platforms.  The photo credit links shouldn't be a problem as there are only two and they are to different recognized photo platforms.
    
    I am not seeing any problem in your English language use, formatting or anything else.

    You can also provide the url but not hotlink it - because it would be a pity to make these resources harder to find than necessary
