What happened to the auto-suggested similar articles on HobbyLark?
It was a nice feature that let me read random top 10 lists for a bit with zero brain energy.
I noticed it got removed a little while back and thought it was a bug or something.
Any idea what happened to it?
We removed suggested articles to reduce page load time. You can use the search feature on the site to find articles.
Matt, well, what's a suggested article? Thanks, and enjoy the holiday seasons.
We used to have a feature in articles that displayed suggested articles similar to the one you were reading.
I liked the suggested articles and am sad to see them go, but it sounds like getting rid of them was necessary.
Paul, why d' you think that's necessary? Thanks.
Matt said that it's to do with reducing the page-loading times. Those have not been good recently, as people like Eugene and Glenn have pointed out. Maybe something's got to be thrown overboard to keep the ship afloat regarding the search engines.
Google are also changing the way that they look at linking, I don't know if that's a factor, too. The suggested articles link up related topics, as well as entice the reader to stay around and look at other articles. HP may be altering their linking strategy, I don't know, this idea's just speculation.
It was actually really nice, that sucks.
It made it easy to just go through random MTG top 10 lists when I was bored or on a bus or something

I noticed what appears to be an automatically generated link in one of my Pethelpful articles. I didn't add it, and I can't get rid of it. I can't even see it in edit mode. Even if I delete the word, it just adds a new link at the next instance of that word.It links out to another Pethelful article...

Hello Beautiful Souls,Has anyone else noticed that we are having articles displayed as related/suggested articles in the body of the article? And sometimes in the between the comment as well. It seems like a distraction. It doesn't look good. (I have just noticed it on Discover) Something like...

I am disgusted with the ugly suggested readings next to my religious natured poetry. Why do you allow this? I thought Hub Pages was better than this. I have been a member for over six years. I have many friends and they don't appreciate this either. Please do not post such trashy articles. You are...

I see that there was a forum discussion about this 4 months ago. Maybe this is a glitch that comes up from time to time. Is anyone else having this problem?For my last two hubs, there were *no* suggested links. One of the articles is about enhancing photos. The other is about religion. I don't for...

This evening, I started following a hubber, and noticed that she had a Hub of the Day badge on her profile. I wanted to be able to quickly locate and pull up the hub (or hubs) that received the accolade by clicking on the badge.Is this a feature that could be incorporated?Thanks,Steph

Hi all - no matter what I do, my articles keep getting rejected at Constant Content. The first time they said I sent a blank file. The second time they said they couldn't accept content with the type of address I put in and said I was using promotional content which is not true. I was very careful...
