Article Score

1. 59

   Entrepreneurs Journalposted 9 months ago

   Can someone please tell me how much article score is required to get it featured? I literally published 3 articles as of now, 1st one got 50-something, and the rest two got in 60s but none of them got featured. And as I'm new to this platform, I'm still in boot camp so my non-featured articles automatically get unpublished.
   
   So, can anyone please tell me how much article score is required to get it featured?

            You have a lot of useful information in your article. I like your images. However, you can't just use any image you find online. They need to have Creative Commons licensing. You can find these kind of images at Wikimedia, Unsplash and Pixabay, to name a few. Also, when I clicked on some of your pictures, the links brought me to articles written by other people rather than the image itself.
            
            In addition, if you are getting information off of other web sites, it's OK. You just need to list your sources at the end of your article.

      You don't need to pay much attention to the article score as it constantly changes and doesn't give you much valuable information.
      
      As was mentioned here, the quality of the articles is the main deal. I would advise you to start writing about topics you're very knowledgeable about. Make also sure that every article gives readers what they came for. You would be surprised how many writers forget such an essential detail.

   Hey!
   
   All of them got unpublished by hubpages as I'm still in bootcamp so whichever article doesnt get featured, hubpages automatically unpublishes it.

   Scores don't mean a great deal. The quality of the article (formatting, language, length, image credits, no links to spammy sites, etc.) is far more important.
   
   If you haven't already, spend some time at the Learning Center - click Help, top right, to navigate there. The way those advisory articles are laid out is a good guide to how yours should be.

      Hey!
      
      Thank you very much for your insights. I went through all of the articles in the meantime and republished my article after making some changes. So, can you please take a look at it and tell me how can I improve it even further?

         Had a quick scan and it looks good.
         
         The only thing... have you got permission to republish those images? All images on HP must have an appropriate license because this is a commercial site. You can't just take images from the internet because you risk legal action or a demand for payment (linking to the source is not enough). It's all there in an article at the Learning Center:

         Edit: The Pexels one is okay, but the others are not.

               I still think you need to say more about the apps and templates. By mentioning them in your article, you are recommending them. Two of the apps and all of the templates require a fee. What is your experience wth each one? Is the fee worth it?

   I think it would be good to review the apps and templates. You should review them all, but in addition you need to point out whether the ones that charge fees are worth the money.
