      It seems you've unpublish the article or delete it, that the link generated a page 404 message.

            Still the link is not working. Were you sure it's the correct link given to you in the e-mail? Cross-check the typos if any, or copy and paste it.

            It will work for you, but not for us. There should be instructions in the email about how to get help from the community.

               Bev, I think he should post the entire email content(copy and paste) the link to us?                                                Due to the fact that I had majority of my articles featured at first hand, I can hardly remember the process and instruction given.

            Ikpo? Okay I'm coming over from facebook, where the link don't even work.                                            Now am at Hubpages. Curiously, it seems that on your publication or writers dash board, you've hit the unpublish button. In that case, only you can see the article. Go back and hit the Publish Now button. That will make the article visible on HubPages for me and the other writers.                                             Let me also have the full title of the article so I can go on Google search for it.                                         Seriously, I found your feature article about motivation very enlightening. Welcome to hubpages.

            No. Publish the one about drug abuse first. It's a prority. We can't just be taken at random.

   Hi. The link that you've shared goes to a 404 message, and I can't see any link to the article on your profile. If you look at the email that HubPages sent you about the article, you may find instructions for generating a link that works.

   Sorry, none of your new links work for me. The links suggests that the article is related to alcohol and drug abuse, which is a tricky topic for a layperson to discuss. (I assume you are a layperson because you haven't stated any qualifications or experiences related to the topic on your profile.)
   
   I have some points that you could check, though since I can't see the article some of them may not be relevant. One thing that you could do is to look for grammatical errors in the article. Others are to make sure that you haven't recommended any treatments that only a health professional should prescribe and that you have suggested that people get professional advice in addition to following any suggestions that you've made. You should also include any necessary references and/or a disclaimer if you haven't done so.

   Your link isn't working.  However, I found your article.  I'd suggest you use "The best advice etc."  only one time.  Three of your paragraphs begin with this. You might try adding a photo or two and even a quote.  Keep up the good work!

   There is no magic trick to get the articles featured. Only thing is that go on updating and improving and remove the errors as much as possible, remove the spammy elements as much as possible and so on. Finally, it would be featured. Have patience and keep up the good work. It is a long journey. Even after publishing hundreds of articles many writers find that their new article is not featured.
