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 And as I'm new to this platform, I'm still in boot camp so my non-featured articles automatically get unpublished.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?
Hello and welcome!
I just looked at your page and it doesn't show any articles.
Hey Janis, Thanks for your prompt response. I have republished my article, so please tell me how can I improve the article and increase the chance of getting 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.
Noted! Will modify my article accordingly, and will share the updated one with you.
Thank you for the valuable advice.
Hey Janis, here is my updated article: https://discover.hubpages.com/money/bud … r-finances
Good to see the photo credits. Please let us know if you get published and featured.
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 Jan, thanks for your valuable insights!
I have republished my article, so can you please check it and tell me how can I improve my article?

Go to hubpage's Learning Center.Click 'feed' top right and dig.
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All of them got unpublished by hubpages as I'm still in bootcamp so whichever article doesnt get featured, hubpages automatically unpublishes it.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.
Hey, I just updated the article accordingly. Please check: https://discover.hubpages.com/money/bud … r-finances
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.

Evening. I'm new; so, I'm not aware if I made any overlook the rules on forum posting. With the article approval, is there a way to find what mistakes and rules that relate to unpublished articles so I know in what area I can improve and edit?The links are very helpful; but, they have too much...

Here is the link of my Article http://hub.me/aowiX .I cant understand what type of quality standards it does not follow?
by Paul Jacobelli 22 months ago
I have revised the article 3 times. Removed links. Removed references to technology that is not even ours. There was never any sales language in it. It keeps getting rejected with no explanation of what is wrong with it. Why should we waste our time if there is no decent feedback?
